- Abstract
The proposed model contributes to the theory and practice of ecological architectural design. This paper investigates Hassan Fathy’s ecological design strategies and their contemporary significance demonstrated through his rural development works. Through analysis of Fathy’s philosophical principles and built projects, the study evaluates his integrated approach utilizing localized materials, bioclimatic methods, and community participation. Quantitative evidence and qualitative insights establish the continued relevance of Fathy’s contextual synthesis for sustainable construction in rural settlements globally.
