“…Due to increase in population that are expected to live in urban areas, as well as, the increase in air temperature because of the changing climate [115], it is crucial to establish an adaptive and responsive thermally efficient built environment by means of implementing passive design strategies at both building and urban scales. At the urban scale, reducing energy consumption in buildings and alleviating the urban canyon temperature is an integration of several passive design strategies such as trees [3,59,60,116], green roofs [69,73,117,118], green walls, and the fabric of local micro-climate scale [44,[119][120][121]. Based on these studies, the energy consumption of the whole examined urban forms and the housing typologies is proposed to be passively reduced through design, and the remaining energy demand can be met by renewable energy systems.…”

Since the mid-1970s, urban development in Egypt has sprawled far from the distinguished compact arid built environment, as the court-yarded housing typologies that completed the vernacular picture of desert architecture have been discarded in the early 20th century. This has motivated urban microclimate research in Egypt. The main objective was initially to improve outdoor thermal comfort. Therefore, Egyptian research started with assessing different existing patterns for the sake of climate responsive and sustainable urban design practice characterized with low carbon, thermal comfort and energy efficiency in such a hot arid conditions. That is why the review workflow of this article has followed a design progress workflow that led to solving design complexities with regard to generating housing urban forms on a microclimate basis rather than an article regular review workflow in order to extract the research gaps and conclude insights. After discussing a general framework for generating housing sustainable design identified from the concluded gaps, the main conclusion is a vision and a call to integrate the Urban microclimate-Building passiveness-Renewables design dimensions, UBR, towards the evolution of a new era of energy efficient housing typologies and a 5th generation of Egyptian sustainable cities where the 1st generation of new Egyptian cities started 1970s.

Antik dönemlerden günümüze sıcak iklimin baskın olduğu coğrafyalarda üretilen yapılı çevrelerdeki avlular, çevrelerindeki kapalı yaşam alanları için doğal havalandırma ve aydınlatma sağlayan anlamlı boşluklar, doğanın iç mekâna taşındığı manzara ve iklimsel konforu artıran özel mekânlardır. Özellikle sıcak ve kurak bir iklime sahip olan Türkiye’nin güneydoğusundaki tarihi yaşam alanları, avlunun odağında yer aldığı mekânsal örgütlenmelerle doludur. Ancak bu mekânsal örgütlenmeleri bünyesinde barındıran kamu binalarının sayısı günümüzde oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu amaçla, mimari projesi ödül alan ve avlulu bir mekân örgütlenmesine sahip bir kamu binası olan Diyarbakır’daki Yenişehir Belediyesi Hizmet Binası, avlusu özelinde incelenmeye değer bulunmuştur. Temel amaç olarak bu çalışma, günümüz kullanıcılarının avlulu mekân örgütlenmelerine ve özellikle avluya yönelik algılarının belirlenmesine odaklanmaktadır. Veriler 57 kullanıcıya uygulanan anket uygulaması ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Bu araştırmada kamusal özellikler taşıyan avlunun, kullanımları bakımından kullanıcılarında pozitif bir izlenim yarattığı belirlenmiştir. Avlunun özellikle sıcak iklimlerde gelecek bina tasarımlarında bir katalizör görevi üstlenebilecek güçlü bir potansiyele sahip olduğu, kullanıcı değerlendirmeleri ile ortaya çıkmaktadır.

“…The courtyard pattern is always been encouraged for its efficiency to provide thermal comfort in hot and arid climate regions and function as a microclimate modifier in a diverse climate. Accordingly, whether courtyard buildings or contemporary building typology are to be used, dense urban form has always been appreciated to increase mutual shading and achieve a thermally comfortable environment [23].…”
