A court or courtyard is an often enclosed area, a space enclosed by a building that is open to the sky. These areas in inns and public buildings were often the primary Courtyard meeting places for some purposes, leading to the other meanings of court. Both of"court" the words and "yard" derive from the same root, meaning an enclosed space. More and more, architects are investigating ways that courtyards can play a role in the development of today's homes and cities.

Courtyards—private open spaces surrounded by walls or buildings—have been in use in residential architecture for almost as long as people have lived in constructed dwellings. The earliest known courtyard houses were built in Iran and China and date as far back as 3000 BC. Courtyards have historically been used for many purposes including cooking, sleeping, working, playing, gardening, and even places to keep animals.
