2.3.2. The Market of New Baris in El Wady El Gedid (1967)

Hassan Fathy also used a windcatcher in the market of the New Baris Oasis, where the windcatcher directs the wind to flow in the basement where all biodegradable fresh produce is stored for the sake of preservation [16]. The planning, sectioning, and elevation of the market of New Baris in El Wady El Gedid ensure that wind is drawn inside using a row of windcatchers. The wind is then directed into the basement, where the goods susceptible to spoiling are stored (Figures 21 and 22).
