This paper investigates the function of windcatchers in dry regions in Middle East and compares them in different fields in two areas including Yazd-Iran, and Egypt. The study examines windcatchers in these areas in terms of cooling system and forms, with different plans, forms, constituent components and decorations.Reassessment of windcatchers in these areas can shed light on these difference...

Throughout history, vernacular architecture has sought to provide inhabitants with comfort, using local materials and techniques while drawing inspiration from the culture. This goal helped natural passive environmental building emerge, evolve, develop. Even though we are increasingly dependent on mechanical ventilation cooling solutions, in favor due global climate challenges drive toward sust...

Abstract Increased thermal comfort in buildings is consuming large amounts of energy around the world, especially hot arid and semi-arid regions. Finding adapting ways to naturally cool should be a priority for researchers subject. For centuries Middle East cultures have used wind towers their they proved cost-effective, easy implement reliable solution passive cooling that requires almost negl...

as diabetes and obesity rates continue to climb at astronomical rates in the middle east, future generationsare at an even greater risk for diabetes and the associated complications. many factors are at play and it isclear that creative solutions are needed to retool provider resources in the middle east towards preventionof diabetes and its complications while leveraging technology to maximize...
