- Abstract
Filled with the dilemma of clinging to tradition and adapting to modernity, the ancient houses inherent in the ksar of Bechar (in southwest Algeria), notwithstanding legendary, are currently subject to obvious cultural transformations. Unpublished furnishings are now making way; new spaces are introduced, giving birth to facades in all their ugliness without any reference to the original. They appear to aspire to a priori a way of life distinct from that of ancestral confirmed by the fading of domestic practices of old. If traditional houses are now subject to endogenous and exogenous transmutation at the same time, this is the effect of the modernization of the capitalist economy, in homes in the third world where technology is far from being used to its proper value, defying the rules of local tradition and intrinsic culture. this article provides a solution to encourage the conservation of historic sites in the face of technological change. This research is mainly focusing on the search for a solution to the disfigurement of the facades, partly through the great presence of telephone cables, Internet cables and antenna dishes, knowing that developed countries have already avoided this problem by using smart technologies.
