One of the things I enjoyed in Morocco (which is probably true in most places with traditional North African and Middle Eastern architecture, although don’t quote me) is how the relationship of private space to public space is entirely reversed from Western countries. Instead of exterior windows showing the objects inside, the outside wall has essentially zero windows or decorations. Everything is interior facing and usually centers on a courtyard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riad_(architecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riad_(architecture)
