  • Interest in the Ibadi regions of Maghreb arises from the desire to study a system of settlements and landscape transformations which are unique to this Mediterranean area. Although similar situations can be found in different parts of North Africa, in this particular region, the needs for protection and defense such as the rational use of natural resources play an emblematic role. Ibadi communities, in fact, from the 10th century onwards, chose the hard conditions of these terrains, because they were concerned for their safety and were fiercely dedicated to the reservation of their identity, even at the cost of their own isolation. The object of this research is to propose a reading method of the settlement structure and architectural forms, by the analysis of three case-study examples: the Island of Djerba, the Libyan Jabal Nafusah and the region of the M'zab. These three significant territories will be analyzed by means of graphic, cartographic and historical sources with the purpose of understanding and verifying the configuration and territorial continuity. The aim is to create an analytic sequence which starts from the territory and extends to architectural objects, so as to understand the relationships among the landscape, the history and the city formation
