Architects have always drawn inspiration from the magical ambience and unique conditions of the desert. Current predictions of climate change have made the issue of building in particularly hot climatic zones more relevant than ever.

Desert Architecture presents exciting and pioneering projects from the field of desert architecture, demonstrating that contemporary architecture can meet the unique challenges presented by torrid zones. Graphically illustrated with architects’ plans and numerous photographs, this volume shows that innovative architectural ideas can be successfully realized even in regions with extreme living conditions.
