Abstract

People in hot and arid locations were driven to build their homes using climate-enhancing, resource-saving, and energy-saving measures due to a lack of biodiversity and water supplies. We discuss oasis settlements and vernacular passive cooling architecture as magnificent examples of human co-evolution with the natural ecosystem that is well-balanced. In light of the above and the requirement for urbanization in the drylands, this chapter finishes with a critical assessment of the required reduction of GHG emissions in the building industry and a reconsideration of local ecological resources climate-adaptive design concepts.
