I took this photo in 2017 during my trip to Yazd Yazd is one of the ancient cities of Iran and the first brick city in the world. This living atmosphere reflects impacts of environmental and cultural conditions of the city. In Yazd, architecture of the city is strikingly unique due to considering residents' ease and protecting them from the oppressive heat and burning sun of the desert Sabat, a roofed structure on some parts of narrow streets, was used as a feature of traditional architecture in hot climate areas to avoid sunlight making pedestrians feel relaxed for a moment in the breeze drifted in. By providing shade and getting the air to flow in, Sabats cool and soothe everyone walking beneath‌.
