Mimicking the cactus, which has developed cooling ribs that gives it a self-shading surface. When sunlight hits one side of the rib, it automatically shades the other side of it. at the same time, the open on top design borrows its functionality from the Malqaf;
a traditional Arabic architectural feature used for natural ventilation and cooling. It consists of a windcatcher or shaft that captures breezes and directs them into buildings. The Sabil design allows for the circulation of air, creating a sustainable micro-environment by reducing the reliance on artificial cooling methods like air conditioning.

/The Sabil is built using overlapping members and layered surfaces to avoid overheating the interior and its surface…

/Surface design employed as a thermal barrier, through the use of the pattern and the organic natural weave
/The 3-dimensional surface will have a self-shading effect (the surface design) on the micro-level. Pockets of air trapped in the diamond pattern will create a heat insulating layer, creatig a wall with a thickness out of fabric.
