Abstract

Clay Architecture won a great interest due to its environmental and economic characteristics. Despite the huge advances in techniques and modern building materials, mud architecture has maintained its popularity in many parts of the world. Recently, there was an increase in risks of construction of mud faces, which is influenced by the increase in humidity due to climatic changes, increase of rainfall, and the flow of the floods. Which led to a destruction and demolition to various areas in the world and threatened the legacy of human and may even lead to a decrease in construction of mud or to its end, especially under these inevitable changes; unless there are ways to address effective solutions directly? Wadi Hadhramaut mud architecture is considered one of the world most threatened areas caused by these risks and it is the problem that the research aims to highlight and look for solutions. Problematic search is concentrated in the following question. Can the mud architecture in Wadi Hadhramaut, within its current form, resists the environmental and climatic variables? To answer this question we need to study the mud architecture in Wadi Hadhramaut, the advantages and disadvantages of the different technologies, and its vulnerability towards the unstable surrounding environmental and climatic effects, ways and different techniques to handle. The research mainly aims to provide architectural treatments that help mud architecture resist the various environmental factors, which threaten its continuation. Moreover, the research within this study follows the analytical method through; the previous studies, and analysis of the status; in addition to the fieldwork represented in studying and documenting the current situation.
