Abstract

The goal of the research was to investigate and analyze how Nubian building Environmental systems could be an inspiring way to develop and to rebuild the new city of Aswan and similar contemporary cities in hot arid regions. The paper also identifies the main economic, social and cultural consequences of using Nubian Vernacular systems for defining contemporary sustainable and restorative buildings and how these systems were ignored after Nubian displacement by the Government due to the high-dam project establishment. Moreover, it illuminates the most important techniques and methodologies of Nubian village planning and construction and how these ways could achieve maximum passive cooling, thermal comfort, least energy consumption and finally the sustainable development required in the 21st century.
