| Abstract | ||||
| The Skyline is one of the important urban aspects and it has an important role in the image of the city. The technical progress and the vertical and horizontal extension of the city have a great effect of the character of this urban component. This study analyses theoretically the sky line aspects as (history - elements - effects - compositions and concepts). Mainly, the character of the sky line, as an urban factor, can be classified in three levels or sectors: the sky line of the Architecture Mass (Building), the sky line of the Architecture Groups (zones), and finally, the sky line of the City. This study emphasizes that the sky line character of Assiut city appears in two types: longitudinal skyline and the transversal one. Every one has its aspects, elements, composition and concepts. | ||||
