Abstract

The archaeological and architectural patrimony of Jericho is unique worldwide. The unique characteristics of the area provide excellent opportunities for proper valorisation and promotion of existing resources, mainly those with adequate potential for further development and application such as the adobe brick, which has been widely used as main building material. The conservation project, of some historical buildings in adobe brick in the City of Jericho, respects the principles of eco-sustainability, biocompatibility, the lifecycle of the materials and renewable sources and technologies, according to preserve the cultural heritage and the local know-how inherited from generation to another but also to reflect about the interaction between the human-being and his environment in this area, nevertheless that this heritage lost a plenty of its significance due to the continuous instability in the geo-political aspect. The project, developed from the study and promotion of traditional architecture in earth, wants to be an example of reference for further development of the existing local resources, natural and human, towards a sustainable balance between the human being and his environment, not only in the area of Jericho but in Palestine.
