both strive to find a style native to their areas
Hassan Fathy
Works mostly in his nativve area ie. egypt , morocco, afganistan etc
uses very natural and traditional materials and adapted way of building
the buildings seem very heavy
aim to provide good thermal mass
uses water and air flow to ventilate and cool buildings
this site is a great resource as to his design and design development

Gregory Burgess
Many of his works are based within the australian out back environment
whilst the basic concept for design of the buildings of both architects are very similar the final product is very different
Gergory burgess uses mainly timbers instead of earth and tends to rely more on good vetilation design than thermal mass to cool the structure
his structures are therefore very light, whilst still using natural australian materials
lighter materials also allows for greater versitiliy of design allow Burgees structures to be much more fluid
this site documnets all of his projects and development
