This is for a housing complex in Basrah to the Ministry of Transportation of IRAQ. In order to secure the safety of residents and strengthen the community, it was adopted the characteristics of the spatial configuration of the traditional residential complex with the traditional patterns of the Middle East. Each unit is a terrace-type house and has a wide public open space in the center of each unit. For air conditioning of public indoor spaces such as corridors, a natural ventilation system like the wind tower of the Middle East architectural feature based on the principle of the Bernoulli Effect is applied. Because the area is adjacent to the airport, it's very important as the first impression to Basrah, that the scenery is seen from the sky when landing & taking off. So we used the Arabic pattern for the layout of the housing complex.
