neutral  Salman Rostami: Please notice that بادگیر is a noun in this context (not an adjective). So we can't use "windward" here because it means رو به سمت باد or بادگیر in its adjective form (e.g. سرزمنین های بادگیر شمالی)

pipe-shaped wind tower; pipe-typed windcatcher


Explanation:
Wind towers or windcatchers are constructions especially found in Yazd and Kerman. They were structured in a way to attract the wind into the building during the hot season. This particular wind tower was named after its shape resembling a pipe. Please see the link below.
