Did a lot of research on the construction methods used in hot climates back it the day.
It's pretty interesting, a lot of methods that are seldom to never seen anymore.
Many of which we should revert back to, when was the last time you used a 10ft long crank to open a high window?

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
