C. Narrow, irregular
and some covered alleys:
To provide shade
and protect from hot sun and dusty winds, the alleys are not straight with
tall walls and roofs in some parts.
D. Buildings are
connected together:
To achieve minimum
absorption of solar energy by outdoor walls. All the buildings abut each
other.
E. Buildings are shaped
by sun and wind direction:
The main axis of all
court yards is toward south-west. With this order they use the winter
sun fully on two sides of the courtyard and they use the wind.
