About Discussions Projects3 Journals9

The Sahara presents unique challenges and opportunities for architects and designers working with extreme environments. Projects in this topic examine how communities can be established, sustained, and evolved within one of the world's largest deserts.

The community explores nomadic and permanent settlement models, oasis engineering, self-sufficient systems rooted in vernacular traditions, and speculative desert cities that reimagine large-scale habitation in arid landscapes.
