UAE, Dubai, Wind Catcher, 2000
UAE, Dubai, Wind Catcher, 2000 - For years I have been trying to explain this without a visual aid, but I finally came across this photograph I took in 2000. This is a structure in the museum in Dubai. Inside, there is a carpet on the floor. If you lay on the carpet, you can feel the breeze! It enters the "chimney" shown in this photograph, and it is deflected downward by a large cloth that is positioned diagonally across the chimney. I have seen many such examples of ingenous architecture all over the world. Some similar examples of ancient ingenuity can be see in the Deutsch Museum on the river Isar in Munich, Germany.
