Emerging an Adaptive Kinetic Mashrabia for Reviving the Environmental Responsive in the Traditional Courtyard House of Aleppo Hadya Salkini 1 , Bashar Swaid 2 , Laura Greco 3 , Roberta Lucente 4 1,2,3,4 University of Calabria 1 hadya.salkini@unical.it 2,3,4 {bashar.swaid|laura.greco|roberta.lucente}@unical. it Abstract:Due to the widespread of computational processes techniques, many manuals and modern automatic shading systemshave been developed. Although, of their high environmental performance, most of these systems failed to adapt neitherto the morphological configuration nor to the special character of the historical contexts. Thus, empowerment the roleof the bio-climatic design process in reconstructing the courtyard house in Aleppo post-war requires translating theform and structure of the vernacular architectural elements into adaptive and dynamic ones, for emerging newinnovative solutions with high environmental responsive. The research adopts this hypothesis for developing a newshading screen system with a kinetic structure technique. An evolutionary multi-criteria optimization for geneticalgorithm technique is used and integrated with bio-climatic tools such as Ladybug and Honeybee plug-ins forGrasshopper and Rhino software, for obtaining the optimum adaptive kinetic Mashrabia that enables reviving theenvironmental responsive in the traditional courtyard house of Aleppo post-war.

INTRODUCTION : Traditional courtyard house was based on a series of adaptive and sustainable-oriented principles which confirmed a high capacity to adapt with a different climate, social and cultural transformations. More- over, in this unique typology, some vernacular archi- tectural elements like Mashrabia was used for achiev- ing social and environmental needs, which provides an effective protection against intense sunlight, thus it was utilized widely in the Middle East countries for several decades. Currently, this traditional Is- lamic window element fails to meet the contempo- rary needs for visual comfort due to insufficient day lighting. The design of a solar protection system that can minimize solar gains while maximizing daylight and view to the outside is particularly challenging in Aleppo city which has approximately 3000 hours of full sunshine, therefore an urgent need for effective Papers - eCAADe 35 | 299
