Product details

Windtower offers a unique insight into a past way of life, exploring Dubai’s rich and storied past and heritage.
This new and extended edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the formation of the United Arab Emirates, diving deeper into the merchant community’s central role in Dubai’s pre-oil economy and social life. The new edition also considers the lessons to be learned from Dubai’s traditional windtowers at a time of global warming and climate crisis, and how this knowledge might benefit contemporary urban design.
The title features a foreword from HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, who writes:
“I do hope this book will enable other people to join in appreciating the unique nature of these buildings and that it will encourage an awareness of how relevant many of their distinctive features are to the modern challenges of building sustainable communities in a way that maximises the use of renewable energy.”
With exclusive archival photography, custom maps, as well as original architectural plans and diagrams, Windtower is a must-have book for anyone interested in Dubai’s architecture, culture and fascinating
historical development.
