Aspects of environmental and climatic treatments in the groves of mud in the Libyan oasisAssis.prof.phd.Saa`di Ibrahim AL-DerajiCenter revival of Arabian scientific heritageBaghdad University(Abstract)This paper sheds light on aspects of environmental and climatic treatments in the groves mud existing in some Libyan oases. It reveals the architecture efforts and contributions to the adaptation of the construction and materials in order to organize the weather inside the building blocks to suit the nature of the human and his living in all seasons.The study focused on some samples of mud buildings which still exist in the oases such asAwjila, Murade, Jekhre, merzeq …etc which the researcher mentions during his visit, accompanied by students and their professors,they record some notes in papers which appeared as researches. The importance of this study lies in the side of environmental treatments adopted Libyan architecture in which buildings documenting lived for centuries and it is home to a group of people who carried on heritage. Then it is threatened with extinction today because of modernity imposed on them to give up the mud and stone in whole or in part relying on cement and iron in the implementation of modern buildingsAmong the benefits of the study,it had been by the schematic of the statement and its relationship to the function and climate, since the small space in the building blocks and how to divide it from the inside corridorsand the thickness of the walls and the nature of the clay as a basic material in the construction as well as the method of roofing both domes or wood would make the groves mud great examples to overcome the harsh weather conditions and air fluctuations imposed by nature in the oases, especially since the Libyan oasis people are more than used the Palm effectively benefited of their parts in everyday life
