تاثير المناخ على الشكل المعماري

Abstract

The main target of this research was to show the effect of climate on the building's shape, where the Arabian countries almost located in width line (10, 30) where heat increase with respect to another places. Also it has a different humidity, low "dry weather", high "wet weather”. This climate an effect on the nature of the life in these places. Therefore we must make attention our try to conformity with it or treating it in many cases especially in architectural field and urban design. Therefore we have two main climate's problems in architectural design: First : protection from the sun. Second : saving air-conditioning for the building's spaces. The sun generates the secondary climate elements like air discharge and humidity where they lead to an effect on the heat regulation. The shape of the buildings, position, materials, color, surfaces of elevations, outside planning spaces, courtyards, and the gardens had the same effect against these problems.
