Construction in the Middle East
Taking in south‐western Asia and northern Africa, the Middle East stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to Pakistan across the Arabian Peninsula. Given the geographic, cultural, political and economic diversity of the region, there is a wide range of construction methods used. This chapter aims to consider some of the main factors influencing construction in the Middle East. To provide specific focus, it concentrates on member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which share some similarities in topography, climate, traditional construction techniques and regulatory frameworks. Historically the regulatory framework in the Middle East has been widely influenced by the regulations of the UK, Germany, the USA and Russia. Architects and engineers internationally have been using the lessons learnt from traditional construction methods in the Middle East to influence emerging best practice in sustainable design.
