FLOWTHROUGHVENTILATIONThe building is designed with flow throughven_la_on or cross ven_la_on principle in mind.Windows are placed so that air can travel throughandacrossorupthroughthestairwelltoexitatthetoprefresinghtheroomandtakingfulladvantageofnatural ven_la_on. The landscaping helps inproviding good tree canopies to shade the siteduring summer months to reduce air-condi_oningload.REFERENCE:•  hdps://fiveleafsystem.wordpress.com/tag/hybrid-

Aniconism in Islam is a proscription in Islam against the creation of images of sentient beings. The most absolute proscription is of images of God in Islam, followed by depictions of Muhammad, and then Islamic prophets and the relatives of Muhammad, but the depiction of all humans and non-human animals is discouraged in the hadith and by the long tradition of Islamic authorities, especially Sunni ones.
