Courtyard is a term used to describe an area that is open to the sky but surrounded by a building (or buildings) that form walls. The word court and yard originate from a term that means enclosed space.

A quadrangle is a type of courtyard that is frequently associated with universities or other educational institutions (such as museums, libraries, research campuses and so on).

= History =

Courtyards are found in both Eastern and Western cultures and have been used in architecture across many centuries. Courtyard homes are structures that place the living quarters around the open, central courtyard.

In the Mesopotamian region of the Tigris–Euphrates river system, complex systems of urban planning were developed from the 10th millennium BC to the 6th century BC. These communities incorporated building styles that introduced some of the earliest examples of courtyard homes.

In these structures, some of the rooms had doors that led directly into the light and private courtyard. This served as a place for eating, cooking, sleeping, gardening, keeping animals, socialising and other activities.

Some courtyard homes also had added security, since they could be protected with fortifications such as gates or moats. In hotter climates, the currents created in a courtyard sometimes provided a cooler environment as well.

In medieval times, inns and public buildings had courtyards that sometimes served as meeting places. This usage eventually factored into the introduction of other meanings of the word, “court” when used to describe activities associated with the resolution of legal disputes.
