Desert architecture responds to extreme climate conditions through material choices, spatial planning, and passive cooling strategies. Projects in this field balance cultural context, environmental sustainability, and the unique aesthetic possibilities of arid landscapes.The community explores rammed earth construction, courtyard typologies, biomimetic design approaches, and cultural centers that anchor communities in remote locations. Work ranges from individual experimental structures to master-planned settlements that reimagine sustainable living in the Sahara and other desert regions.
