Abstract EN

The paper discusses a number of common factors in the architecture of the great Desert,
which forms the features and characteristics of this architecture,
Which are essentially environmental and cultural factors and similarities in construction
methods and building materials, Due to similar climatic conditions and cultural assets in
most regions, The research aims at studying these factors through studying several basic
points:
-Monitoring and analysis of the most important features and elements of architectural
heritage in the urban areas in the great desert region in Africa at the level of building and
urban assembly.

-Study of building materials and methods of construction.

- Foundations of sustainable environmental design derived from architecture and
environmental urbanization in the great desert regions.

- Design and planning of new urban communities in the hot, dry desert areas.

The role of the functional performance of the desert environment, and how to achieve this
in a modern style.

Through the study and analysis of three case studies representing three
different cultures of three regions of the African great desert region, The first city of
Gherdaia in the valley of Mesab in Algeria, And the second village of Al-kasr in Dakhla
Oasis in Egypt, And the third city Agades or (Agadez) in Niger, They represent examples
of the heritage of the Great Desert, And to benefit from them in studying the foundations
of the design and planning of communities with a hot desert nature, An image that
corresponds to the changes of the age, And how to merge the old and the modern in the
form of modern environmental architecture through an executable model.
