Abstract

Sustainable development has become a crucial trend in the global construction industry. However, rapid urbanization in Africa presents unprecedented challenges to local ecosystems and living environments, with practical and feasible green building designs still in their nascent stages. The over-reliance on industrial equipment not only exerts negative impacts on the ecological environment but also results in a mismatch between architectural design and regional climate conditions, thereby impeding the advancement of sustainable development. This study is dedicated to exploring climate adaptive design strategies for traditional housing in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of local climatic conditions and existing residential buildings, this paper focuses on the climate response strategies employed in traditional housing. Based on a meticulous examination of Senegalese traditional houses, the study proposes a series of design improvement strategies aimed at enhancing the climate adaptability of local residential buildings and improving the comfort of their occupants.
