This architectural study explores the vernacular building traditions of the Middle East, where form follows climate and available materials. Thick walls, small windows, courtyards, and wind towers are characteristic features, designed to keep interiors cool in the harsh desert environment. The buildings reflect centuries of accumulated wisdom about living in harmony with the landscape.

Interesting facts...

Traditional Middle Eastern architecture often includes mashrabiya (lattice screens) for privacy and ventilation. Wind towers, or badgirs, are ancient forms of air conditioning.
