EltahirAssistant Professor, Omdurman Islamic University, Sudanmmeltahir@yahoo.comKey words: House form, culture, social participati<strong>on</strong>, Khartoum, SudanAbstractCulture, which is a result of the mindsets of people inhabiting different regi<strong>on</strong>s of the world,refers to the pattern of human activities and the symbols, which give significance to theseactivities. The members of a community share culture and the natural envir<strong>on</strong>ment, whichgreatly affects the lifestyle of the people of that regi<strong>on</strong>, affects it, Culture transfer from <strong>on</strong>egenerati<strong>on</strong> to another through arts literature, costumes, customs and traditi<strong>on</strong>s of acommunity. Religi<strong>on</strong> also serves as the symbolic means of transfer of cultural values betweengenerati<strong>on</strong>s.As regard to Sudanese culture, it blends the behaviors, practices, and beliefs of about 578tribes, communicating in 145 different languages, in a regi<strong>on</strong> microcosmic of Africa withgeographic extremes varying from sandy <strong>de</strong>sert to tropical forests. In a study carried out bythe researcher in an old village that is different in its culture than that of the other Sudanesepeople, which the city stretched its arms to embrace it. The researcher found out that culture isunique and people's cultural behavior is governing their lifestyle thus shaping their houseform, neighborhood and street pattern.This paper highlights the transformati<strong>on</strong> of house form as a result of people's culture andbehavior, how house form is transformed in Al-Gireif specially, from a nuclear family houseto an exten<strong>de</strong>d family house creating a kind of incremental house occupied by a familycomposed of different generati<strong>on</strong>s that pursue participati<strong>on</strong> in different aspects of their life,studying how this kind of house form affect their sustainability, educati<strong>on</strong>, and other aspectsthat shape their future.37º <str<strong>on</strong>g>IAHS</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>World</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>gress</str<strong>on</strong>g> On <strong>Housing</strong> Science 175

Researchhas in fact found that there are studies of Social Centers ma<strong>de</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly by "sociologists" and wasapparently not carried out any research in this area including spatial, functi<strong>on</strong>al, typological or<strong>de</strong>sign aspects.The result was a thorough analysis of possible effects that different <strong>de</strong>sign choices could leadto the potential users.The outcome is a <strong>de</strong>sign of great interest that hasn’t neglected aspects of internal flexibilityspaces and, of course, those related to sustainability.37º <str<strong>on</strong>g>IAHS</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>World</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>gress</str<strong>on</strong>g> On <strong>Housing</strong> Science 176
