A modernized and smart futuristic city of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia named as �the LINE� city will be constructed in the epic mountains of Tabuk region on the land called NEOM stretching to Red Sea. The city will be mirrored architectural masterpiece with an area of 500 x 200 m2 and will operate entirely on renewable energy majorly solar energy. The planned rooftop of the LINE city will be covered with solar PV panels. Therefore, in this research, a complete investigation of solar PV installation on the roof top was conducted by selecting three main regions of LINE city. Because, the weather conditions are the main dominant factors on efficacy of the solar energy. The research starts with most up-to-date report on LINE city with all associated literature studies and the futuristic vision of KSA(Vision 2030). In the next phase, rooftop of LINE city has been designed to cover with all solar PV panels. The observation was determined by considering the both ends and a middle area of the city. Both theoretical and computational analysis were performed in terms of performance ratio, conversion efficiency, leveled cost of electricity and energy production. The comparative analysis of each case with other case studies were performed to finalized the most optimized solar PV installation region in the LINE city. Analysis of all components of solar PV systems, including arrays, inverters, connections, and storage, to determine the optimal system for meeting demand and assuring sustainability.The research helps to demonstrate the viability of Solar PV installation on specific location of the city. The main objective of the research is to identify the location point where the rooftop panels have the maximum energy production which helps to make the installation and other necessities on this particular location.

High-rise timber structures signify a rising trend, thanks to their significant environmental and economic advantages that occur over their complete lifespan. Enhancing spatial effectiveness in these structures is a critical design consideration for project feasibility. Currently, there has been no comprehensive study on the space efficiency of such towers. This article analyzed 79 cases all over the world to deepen the knowledge of design features shaping spatial efficiency. The critical findings are as follows: (1) the most common architectural preferences include residential function, a centrally located service core, and prismatic arrangements; (2) the preferred structural material is composite, while a shear walled frame system is the favored structural system; (3) the average spatial efficiency and percentage of core area to GFA were recorded at 84% and 10%, ranging from the lowest values of 70% and 4% to the highest values of 95% and 21%, respectively; and (4) no significant differences were detected in the effect of core design approaches on spatial effectiveness if appropriately planned, with similar inferences drawn concerning form and the structural material used. This article will assist in developing design directions for different interested parties, including architectural designers taking part in the advancement of high-rise timber towers.
