Abstract

Human needs gradient - a theory developed by the psychologist Abraham Maslow, and this theory discusses the arrangement of human needs in the form of a hierarchy and starts from the base where the basic needs of the person are, then the needs gradually reach the top of the pyramid, and these needs affect human behavior, and if it is not met Satisfying it in a satisfactory form causes psychological pain and frustration for the person, and these needs must be taken into account in the interior design process, especially in the design of the dwelling, as the dwelling is one of the most spaces in which a person lives for long periods and performs many activities in it, so his psychological, physical and aesthetic needs must be taken into account.

The design of the initiation spaces for the individual dwelling carries the most important impressions that can be formed by the individual and affect him when he enters the dwelling. It also has many cultural and social connotations.

when studying models of the entrances of the archaeological individual dwellings, we find many models committed to achieving basic design and human standards, compared to what we see today in the design of some initiation spaces for contemporary dwellings. Incomplete aesthetic standards, or focusing only on highlighting the financial value of the building, regardless of the extent to which the design meets basic needs.

Therefore, we seek in this research to reach the correct design standards for the initiation spaces of individual dwellings that work to help people satisfy their basic human needs, through the use of an analytical and comparative approach between ancient and modern Egyptian models to reach balanced design standards.
