Pupils explore traditional and modern ways the UAE designs buildings to be more sustainable. Starting with old wind towers and courtyards, the lesson moves to modern examples including Al Bahr Towers, Terra – Expo 2020 Sustainability Pavilion, Masdar City, and Wasit Wetland Centre. Children learn how these designs save energy, collect water, and protect nature.

Tasks include guided worksheets, reflections on how schools could be more eco-friendly, and discussions on National Identity values. This resource links strongly to Heritage, Culture, Global Understanding, and Conservation while encouraging pupils to think critically about the environment and future building design
