Wind tower - Dubai, UAE - Exact Replicas on Waymarking.com

This replic is made in wood and represents one tower of wind.

"Wind towers are usually built with coral stone, but also with wood and in nomadic constructions, it was built with cloth. The stone or earth towers, having a large and compact mass, accumulate coolness during the night, which allowed the first hot air in the morning to be absorbed by the walls. They have a square floor plan and their height above ground level varies from 12 to 15 meters in buildings with 2 floors or from 8 to 11 meters in one-story buildings. The higher the towers, the faster the wind they catch and therefore the more freshness it will bring to the occupants of the houses."
