BALCONIES
The towers extract the hot air by conduction, such as a fireplace does, and produce refreshing breezes. A ventilation system is mandatory, given the high temperatures and extreme humidity of Dubai
In blue color you can see how the breeze from outside is captured and taken inside the home, even with the doors closed.In green color, the indoor air is sucked and taken out of .the house

PARTITIONS Libin bricks Finishing stone for decoration The new techniques used underwater stone and coral. The mortars used lime deposits found in the estuary. Coral and shells were also burnt to be used as lime for plastering the walls which called juss. The sarooj was a kind of cement imported from Iran and used as waterproof material, often used in the finishing of baths. Interestingly, the stones were arranged diagonally, changing its direction alternately, forming a zigzag patter

DRAWEN BY DALAL
the interior walls tended to be lighter and not have a very .deep foundation The height is in proportion to thewidth of the wall, EX the thicker the wall the higher it becomes
A wall is built by libin bricks andcementing them by midar which is a kind of clay with water that they leave it in the sun for 20 day
