Then, it reviews the define of Bio-climatic Architecture and mention its methods and strategies to apply in Egypt. Thereafter, the report present and explain an existing concept “Earthships” as an example of building Low Cost Houses using Recycled Materials with Bio-climatic Architecture strategies. Finally, the report summarizes the findings to present analytical model of building low cost houses in Egypt using recycled materials with bio-climatic treatments.
