A Study of Wind-Base Architecture and the Methods of Utilizing it in Fekri House in Bandar-e Lengeh

This study analyzes the effective factors of sustainable design in Fekri House in Bandar-e Lengeh. Sustainable design has important effects in environmental comfort. Specially in places with specific climates, this becomes particularly significant. Wind has a substantial influence on shaping the urban form, directing and widening streets, placing houses and determining the housing typology of a region. In coastal areas, heat and humidity are dominant climatic factors, and wind serves as a common solution to control these factors. Indigenous people have historically utilized wind-driven strategies to establish thermal equilibrium. The Fekri House stands out as a prominent example, adopting a Wind-Base approach to achieve thermal comfort. Various techniques have been used within the Fekri House to develop interaction between wind and interior spaces. This article analyzes into the investigation and analysis of the impact of wind on the formation of Wind-Base architecture and its implementation in the Fekri House in Bandar-e Lengeh. Field studies and observations indicate various methods used in Vernacular architecture in Bandar Lengeh that utilize wind in houses. Reviving and updating these approaches could provide an appropriate response to the use of renewable energy in Bandar-e Lengeh. This study uses field study methods, literature review and interpretative reasoning to examine the implementation strategies of wind-oriented architecture in the Fekri House. The research findings show that in wind-Base architecture some factors can be effective, like: geometry, surface variation and scale. The designers of Fekri House have tried to pay attention to factors of Sustainable design including: building house in different levels, Wind-Catchers size, shape and adaptation to the climate, placement of spaces due to wind path and trying to make natural ventilation.
