Traditional Architecture of the Arabian Peninsula

This architectural study provides in-depth analysis of traditional building techniques in the Arabian Peninsula, from coastal fishing villages to desert oases. It examines how traditional architecture responded to climate, available materials, and cultural needs.

The publication features detailed architectural drawings, construction techniques, material analyses, and case studies of significant heritage buildings. It explores wind towers, courtyard houses, fortifications, and mosques, explaining the engineering ingenuity behind these structures.

Special emphasis is placed on sustainable design principles embedded in traditional architecture, demonstrating how ancient builders achieved thermal comfort, natural ventilation, and water conservation without modern technology. These lessons remain relevant for contemporary sustainable design.

The study includes photographic documentation of endangered buildings and recommendations for conservation and adaptive reuse. It serves as both an academic reference and a practical guide for architects and conservators working with heritage structures.
