Özet
This study aims to comparatively evaluate traditional and contemporary windbreaker systems used in hot–arid and hot–humid climate regions in terms of structural effectiveness, energy efficiency, and visual harmony with the landscape. The research adopts a simplified Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework integrated with a Likert-scale rating system, applied across a case study of eight different settlements. The findings reveal that traditional systems exhibit high efficiency in passive ventilation and climate-responsive morphology. In contrast, contemporary systems demonstrate advantages in energy efficiency through the use of sustainable materials and advanced technological solutions. However, contemporary applications tend to show limited visual integration with the local context and an increased dependence on mechanical systems. By integrating traditional environmental knowledge with contemporary climate-responsive design approaches, this study provides a comprehensive, multi-scalar perspective and an innovative contribution to sustainable architectural design strategies.
