Abstract

Nowadays Algeria is experiencing rapid urbanization .where the city escapes to policy makers and planners revealing dysfunctions of the urban design fabric. Which is more than a collection of buildings and land use zones, buildings has frequently seen to be anonymous devoid of meanings without any aesthetic appeal. The main function of urban design must be to create heightened sensual experience for the individual in the city traveling through time and space. This may be assisted by understanding the meaning, feel and symbolism of places; by understanding the human responses to spaces, channels and artifacts; by establishing the physical permutations and combinations of built form most likely to stimulate a heightened intellectual and emotional awareness.
