The windtowers were the most distinctive architectural element of the houses in the early twentieth century. They had been used by Arabs for many years. Windtowers have four open sides, each of which is hollowed into a concave v-shape, which deflects the wind down, cooling the rooms below. Water thrown on the floor beneath the tower cools the house as the water evaporates. When cool air is not necessary, the vents can be closed.
