Look up traditional persian architecture, at least for dry heat.
Thick walls, emphasis on airflow (windcatcher structures and solar chimneys) and interesting canals engineering (underground canals — qanat — used as heat exchangers to cool down surface air before drawing it back up through dwellings).
Engineering around shade also becomes very important.
