Abstract

Architecture is a complex human artistic, creative and practical activity that equally reflects the complexity of human needs, the natural environment, the social environment and the author who unites all these dimensions and influences through its material and spatial appearance. The legibility of the aforementioned dimensions of architecture is particularly clear in the example of an oriental-type city house in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which began to develop in this region from the end of the 15th century, and in the 17th and 18th centuries reached a high level of refinement (classical phase). Although this house is suitable for analyzing the structure of the architectural program in the context of the natural and social environment, it seems particularly interesting to us to underline the role of a woman who, with her place in the family and society, reflected the house as her metaphor, and expressed her own creativity as a direct subject through her practical work in the house itself. In order to be able to understand the spatial organization, interior and horticultural design of an oriental-type city house in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we must a priori have insight into the general worldview of that time.
