The built form contains symbols (“architectural elements”) that express embedded meanings about the place and about those to whom the symbols belong. The architectural elements presented in this paper provide evidence for how deeply felt socio-cultural principles were transmitted to tangible physical objects and how those physical objects then embedded socio-cultural meanings to inhabitants. Examining the architectural element from the perspective process of making them helped to identify several concepts and principles that directly influenced the traditional Najdi built environment. The aim is to understand how the aesthetic appearance of the elements characterized the identity of traditional Najd settlements and how these elements contained multiple functions and varied meanings as understood, and as agreed to, by the local inhabitants.

With a population of (33,413,660) in 2017, Saudi Arabia has a relatively young society. People who are aged between (0 & 14) years account for (25.16%), whereas those who are (65) years & over account for (3.3%). This percentage jumped to (4.19%) in 2018. Sensory impairment in addition to mobility problems are expected to affect the way in which this aging segment interacts with the surrounding environment. On the other hand, the working & active segment aged between (15 & 64) years accounted for (71.5%). Such an age group is plagued by a crippling challenge manifested by car accidents casualties. The open & built environments accommodating both groups are dealt with in a manner that is not responsive to the needs of the two groups positively. This paper elaborates on current practices & discusses future prospects for the enhancement of open & built environments accommodating people with special needs.
