The natural, cultural, and social features, which ever formed the specifications of the local structural texture, gave this type of cities their structural identity. Nowadays, the structural transformation may have a direct influence on the original style of desert cities, thus risks to erasing its structural identity, so it has become very important to control this structural transformation with the use of specific planning and managing tools which allows to conserve and protect their identity . We have chosen Djamaa as case study as a desert town that was obviously affected by this phenomenon due to several reasons. We studied the structural and architectural area of Djamaa town, we focused on the most important appearances where the structural transformation took place, and tried to find solutions in order to control it and save the original style which should be considered as a legacy that needs to be well invested in parallel with the contemporary life necessities. Key words: Structural transformation- desert city- The structural identity- Structural malformations.
