Reviewing both models of the past and innovative housing design, this book suggests ways in which we may reclaim arid zones for housing and habitation. After an introductory section on traditional architecture, the book discusses innovations in subterranean housing, solar technology and finally specific problems of design, including roofponds and landscaping. Other topics covered include: solar energy systems for arid zone buildings and methods for climate control in arid zones, environmental engineering, terratypes, and underground houses.
