Abstract

This paper explores the architectural significance and evolution of wind towers and wind catchers, examining their various types and tracing their origins across ancient civilizations. Special emphasis is placed on the dispute between Iran and Egypt regarding the invention of the wind catcher. Furthermore, the study delves into how these architectural elements were introduced to Kuwait and adapted to suit the region’s hot arid climate. By analyzing historical records and architectural adaptations, the research aims to provide insights into the cultural and environmental factors that contributed to the development and diffusion of this sustainable cooling technology in the Gulf region
