Cousin · Harran, Turkey

harran dome

The conical mud-brick beehive houses of Harran on the Upper Mesopotamian plain.

Built without timber in a treeless landscape, Harran's beehive domes stack rings of sun-dried brick into high cones: hot air rises to a vent at the top while thick earthen walls keep the rooms cool.
