The Traditional Arab House in the Eastern Mediterranean and its Adaptation to the Mediterranean Climate
Efat Hamza,Shlomit Paz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the climate-related methods of adaptation on which the traditional Arab house in the Eastern Mediterranean was based and found elements included at the design stage indicating climate consciousness, climate related elements due to building constraints, and building constraints in a cultural context with implications for the balance of climatic efficiency.
