ABSTRACT

The Hadhramaut region located in the southeastern territories of Yemen is well known for hosting an ancient display of native construction techniques. In addition, it has recently captured the attention of researchers because of its ability to meet recommended environmental standards. The considerable approval of the international community regarding its potential future benefits has led to a more widespread use in the sphere of contemporary construction (International Congress on Housing, Ural, and Krapfenbauer, 2013 1005). This paper elaborates the study and the in-depth analysis on the adaptation of earthen construction in Hadhramaut in Yemen, placing a primary focus on advanced areas of construction, as well as primary conservation techniques.
