What is the relationship between Arab clothing, architectural culture and local natural environment?

First of all, the relationship between Arab clothing and the local natural environment is that the Arab climate belongs to the tropical desert climate and is extremely hot. Therefore, Arab clothing, that is, white robes, is made of very good silk cloth, which has a breathable effect and is very cool; At the same time, white is chosen because from an optical point of view, white can reflect light (that is, sunlight) to achieve the effect of removing heat and being born, thus helping to adapt to the hot climate.

Secondly, the relationship between Arab architecture and local natural environment is that traditional houses are generally mud houses and quadrangles. Most southern Arabs live in tower and fortress-like multi-storey buildings; Most residents in southern Iraq, Palestine and other coastal areas live in huts made of palm leaves and reeds or small houses made of coral reefs. The local buildings are not high, because the surface water should be available. The wind and sand are heavy, so the doors and windows of the building are specially designed. Because of the hot weather, most locals like to move their beds to the roof to sleep in order to enjoy the cool. Nomads live in tents with four corners of wool or canvas.
