ABSTRACT
Starting with the declaration of Tanzimat in 1839, the transformation of
administration, law, taxation, property rights, education, urban planning and
public works were initiated, which caused the regulation of urban and
construction regulations as a tool for achieving a modern state. 1840, the date
of the Health of Towns Report, marks a stage in the growing concern with
health. The period between
1840-1940 is a
recognisable date in history, with the outbreak of the Great War marking the
end of an era. It also marks the date of a major enquiry into building laws and
it also sees the virtual completion of the process of the incorporation of the
health controls into the building regulations. In this date several regulations
were enacted concerning the buildings and the streets and implemented in
Beirut. The main goal of this article is to understand the impact of Building
Codes on the construction of the late Ottoman Heritage
and its architectural typology.
