Concrete social and economic, historical features of development and cultural processes of this place are the reasons of formation of city culture of the Azerbaijani people. Emergence of such situation became result of the intensive trade, economic, economic and cultural relations between regions of Azerbaijan throughout centuries. Ganja is an integral part of history and the culture of Azerbaijan. Throughout centuries our cities were closely coordinated, and as a result of their mutual influence and enrichment the traditional city culture of local population was created. Since ancient times in Ganja various types of households which meet household requirements of the entire periods were created, effectively using local construction materials. Most of them were temporary houses with fine construction technologies and constant buildings (the laying of Ganja is considered a basis of Architectural school of Aran islands), and small part of them - easy wooden construction templates. Historically there were different typological types, about one - and multilayered houses, with perfect architectural structures. By the way, constant houses differed from each other because of their plan, location and height.
