During the course of wars, the infrastructure of cities faces destruction. Fighting, regardless of its intentions, destroys roads, bridges, commercial and residential buildings, as well as the architecture they embody. Throughout history and around the globe, calls to stop wars have focused on the value of people's lives. In recent decades, there h...

“War: What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing” (Edwin Starr) During the course of wars, cities’ infrastructures mainly networks, roads, bridges, facilities, and homes, are exposed to destruction. Fighting, regardless of its inadvertence, destroys the structural assets of architecture and oftentimes leads to the erasure of urban artefacts. Against...

In some scientific journals, researchers have experienced ‘desk rejection’ of their manuscripts without them having been sent out for review. Although the research offered an innovative idea and good writing style, the decision was to ‘reject and resubmit.’ These two cases explain that the study lacked visionary research design, including unique me...

The qualitative-deductive form of content analysis addresses atmospheres in four Egyptian and American films and thus creates a conceptual framework for design strategy in studio of urban design. In this chapter, the authors discu...

This chapter investigates the ambiguity of the word “atmospheres” in the fields of urban studies. It examines the justifications (plausibility) beyond its uses, with the terms that are focusing on the perceptual qualities. The author investigated the uses of the word “atmospheres” from the beginning of the 17th century to the year 2020, a period wh...

In recent years, the notion of ‘smartness’ as it relates to the urban environment, the incorporation of smart technologies in urban places, and the associated impact on urban forms and civic life has become one of the widely acknowledged and growing challenges in urban design and planning and design.

This chapter reviews the implications of using the words “essences” and “spirit” in urban studies and their link with the concept of affective atmospheres in the realms of architecture. Two assumptions are valid when this matter is addressed. The first is that, despite affective atmospheres being considered as the fifth dimension in architecture, t...

New technologies have the power to augment many aspects of society, including public spaces and art.

The consequences of these three variables on people's dissatisfaction have become apparent and can be monitored through the following five phenomena of urban atmospheres: aesthetic, affective, attr...

This chapter examines the dilemma of using the term "atmospheres" related to architectural history. It theorises the nature of this relationship, developing an analytical framework creating the architecture of the city as similar to artwork. In this chapter, the authors investigated through the aspects of cinematic works-ideas, themes, and dramatic...

Public places are places where all citizens, irrespective of their race, age, religion, or class level (social or economic), cannot be excluded. It serves to improve the lifestyle experience of its inhabitants, as well as promote social connections. All citizens are responsible for it and are interested in it, and the intervention for change must b...

This article examines the common fate of the three concepts that interprets the sameness of cities. It begins with a concise exploration of “personality”, “identity” and “character” in terms of the dual singularity—difference and similarity—of cities. Whatever, there is still a significant overlap between the meaning of identity and character, whic...

In recent decades, the notion of incorporating smart technologies in urban places, and their impact on urban form and urban life has become one of the widely acknowledged and growing challenges in urban planning and design literature. Scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds relevant to city design started to discuss the profound implicatio...

This paper examines the nature of the relationship between ethics and architecture. This complicated state of affairs—in professional practice and architectural design—is evaluated based on a bibliographical review of the visions of some Arab and Western thinkers. This review passes through the analysis of three intellectual movements: modernism, p...

In this debate, we claim that few Egyptian scholars are considering issues of phenomenological critiques addressing adequately the atmosphere of cities and places, and that Egyptian urban design education does not address the possibility of teaching through commentary of this kind. This article examines the dilemma of using the term “atmospheres” i...

The efficient usage, investigation, and promotion of new methods, tools, and technologies within the field of architecture, particularly in urban planning and design, is becoming more critical as innovation holds the key to cities becoming smarter and ultimately more sustainable.

This work reveals the untold story of the urban design of Egyptian new cities according to the nature of the singularity of the city. Singularity at various patterns is attempting to re-emerge with a shape distinctive from “us.” The meaning is that there will be a distinction, in post-singularity, from one city and the other. That is not only based...

The book asks what it means to manage the urban chaos in cities of hardship. Individual or group displacements (internally displaced person) are no only made up of people from the rural areas but also from inside the cities themselves; these are who live in informal human settlements, traditional sectors that are underdeveloped economically and tec...

This work reveals the concept of ‘Singular Urbanism’ to show the lifestyle of city citizens as exceptionally magnificent. The research problem is ‘the property of singularity’ that based on the principles of ethics and the criteria of human values in the planning and design of new Arab cities has become irrelevant. This work assumes that the main r...

Ultimately, Bloch's philosophy about hope revolves around existing things in our life that are unknown to man and have not appeared yet.

This effort has endeavored to display concepts concerning terms of architecture based on some of what appeared in Western thought from the Renaissance to the early twenty-first century. Today, we can describe the world of architecture as products and conditions of peoples in their relationship with the world and also as human scientific art that en...

The objective of this book is to let the student of the school of architecture closely to the issues relating to the art and science of urban design cities.

There has been a turning point in both urban morphology and typological features of architecture that have followed changes in urban lifestyles. These transformations in the urban realm have emerged as a result of the silent and non observable processes of the constant movements from inside and outside the city, and it leads to apparent urban chaos...

شهد العالم العربي في نهاية الألفية الثانية وبدايات الألفية الثالثة انطلاقة مِعمارية عُمرانية على مستوى البناء الجديد والارتقاء بما هو قائم، بيد أنه ما زالت تلك الانطلاقة تعتمد على اعتبارات مبنية على نماذج فكرية قد تبدو في معظمها غربية، ويتبين ذلك عبرّ رصد منتجات حركة البناء اليوم ومقارنتها بما كان في العصور التاريخية السابقة فيما يخُص المدن الحضرية...

This book investigates the many relatively unknown Egyptian cities, which research has largely ignored. It seeks to enhance the livability of urban areas and stop the processes that turn residents into anti-utopians and their cities into dystopias. It examines urbanization patterns in what are currently rural or informal settlements. It draws on co...

The intention of this book to use the term 'intellectual literacy' as a tool and an approach to raising the professionalism of competence in the field of multidisciplinary urban design. To achieve this intent, it must be met by the abilities of both sides: First, identify the paradigms in the areas of competence of architecture and urbanism, with a...

In the current third millennium, cities seem to be more livable cities. Otherwise, these pay the professionals in architecture and the scientific fields with data processing for the apparent collapse in urbanization; theories, methods, techniques and mechanisms at the time they may seem new. While derived education institutions and research centers...

Since people's life began -a stone and humans- to take a form, the population spared to take the form of endemism communities on the earth planet. This sprawl provides to the world the promise of architecture in Bedouin towns and rural and urban areas.
