Due to the scarcity of water and the harsh desert climate of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), water and energy are two of the main challenges for the design of sustainable buildings in the UAE. Relevant literature calls for the consideration of building systems and materials at the design stage to achieve high-performing buildings and to save on the operational costs of the building. The aim of this research was to design a high-performance building that meets the environmental sustainability requirements for water and energy, in the city of Dubai to reflect the technological advancements of the UAE Mars mission. This has been achieved through following an integrated design process, which was mainly focused on the evaluation and specification of the building engineering systems based on performance, besides the goal of achieving visually appealing building with advanced structural design. The performance verification of the final building design, which considered engineering systems design from conception and through the design and detailed design stages, revealed a 15% reduction in water consumption and a 60% reduction in energy consumption. This provides a valuable contribution to architectural engineering practice, by demonstrating a case study for enhancing energy and water efficiency via building design, which consequently contributes to the environmental sustainability of the built environment.
form founded by the Russian painter Kazimir Malevitch. Zaha had also been influenced by the architectural style that emerged in the early 1980s, i.e., Deconstructivism or Deconstruction architecture. Zaha integrated the art of supremacy with deconstruction architecture to create a new and unique architectural style, which is represented in five architectural patterns: the Supermatisit or Deconstructivist; the topographical; the style of architectural designs with water forms; the architectural style with organic shapes; and the borderline design style or the Parametric Architectural form. Zaha accomplished more than 208 projects in many countries of the world and has completed many projects with distinctive and unusual architectural design; she had also received many awards for architectural achievements and engineering designs. One of the highlights of Zaha's awards came from the Japan Art Society, earning an honorary doctorate from the American University of Beirut, and the Stirling Award from the Royal Institute of British Architects. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) also awarded her the title "Artist for Peace." Further, she worked as a visiting professor at a number of prestigious American and European universities such as Harvard, Yale, Ohio State, and the University of Hamburg. These achievements have been accomplished through the tireless efforts of hard work and diligence via many stations and challenges. This study presents a brief overview of Zaha Hadid's architecture, which includes her study, the development of her architectural talent, and the most important design styles, and engineering achievements which have ranked her as one of the 100 most influential women in the world.Zaha's academic development Zaha Mohammed Hussein Hadid Al-Lahibi was born in Baghdad on October 31, 1950. She was the daughter of the former Iraqi finance minister, Mohammed Hadid, in the government of Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qasim, who seized power after the coup in 1958.

This paper reviews the principle and application of the thermally activated desiccant cooling systems with their capability to perform efficiently in hot-humid climates. The paper first introduces the continuous increase of thermal comfort required in building and their relation with the consumption of conventional energy sources. The importance of desiccant cooling technology and its applications has been introduced as well. The energy and environmental issues with the conventional energy supply and the demand with the environmental problems and conditions mainly related to indoor air quality have been also discussed in the second chapter of this paper. The third part of this paper deals with different techniques and systems applied for cooling and dehumidification including the principles of solid and liquid desiccant applications. Indeed, these systems perform well in hothumid climates. The result of a case study of the solid desiccant cooling system combined with solar energy for the desiccant wheel regeneration has been presented in the last chapter in this paper to show the capability of these systems once well applied in a hot-humid climate.
