influence of sunscreens in buildings facade and in people who live in these buildings[

Glass facades have become a feature of modern architecture because of the natural lighting and external view of the building, which works on a visual connection between the inside and outside of the building, but some countries, especially Arab ones, are exposed to an ample amount of sunlight throughout the year, which exposes their buildings if designs are not made that suit this climate with dazzling light and high heat, which makes the general atmosphere of the users of these buildings uncomfortable for them, in addition to their impact on the economic, environmental and social aspects of so, The importance of this study stems from the realism of the suffering of some buildings in hot regions due to the design of buildings that do not take into account the needs of the climate. The research dealt with the facades of high-rise buildings and how to deal with them, and also touched on how sunscreens work and their importance for the facades of buildings and how to make designs that suit the exterior shape of buildings and maintain it from an aesthetic and functional point of view, also touched on and mentioned examples of modern buildings in the State of Kuwait in which types of sunscreens were used. The research concluded with several recommendations such as the importance of using sunscreens because of their aesthetic impact and improving the functionality of the indoor environment such as reducing the heat entering the building, which reduces waste of energy necessary for cooling.
