Over the last century, architecture has had a noticeable attitude towards using of large areas of glass in building facades, which causes the need of large quantity of energy to moderate internal climate. Growing of awareness towards energy conservation and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, requires finding suitable technological solutions for...

The beginnings of this century and the end of the last century witnessed a rapid development in production of advanced materials and digital fabrication in architectural construction. This was a combined by the availability of new possibilities in architecture to achieve sustainable solutions, especially to construct double layer facades. Advances...

Human's attitude to nature has been changing through history. This was reflected on architecture, associated with each historical period, connected to availability of appropriate technology, where architecture was to protect man, give him a sense of security, luxury or controlling of nature. However, nature has been considered as a major source of...

Biomimicry, as a way of thinking to go back to nature for inspiration, has its impact on many contemporary technological achievements. Some of them are used to design and construct kinetic facades in architecture, because of the importance role of facades in reducing sun radiation, that enter the building through using shading systems and component...

The contemporary development in the field of the digital technology for the media has been witnessed an increasing use in the urban scene of the city. This causes disconnection of the visual references of the place, which are replaced by a simulation of the reality by digital images as an alternative to the physical presence. So, the Availability a...

Historically, the availability of new materials inspires designers and architects with new potential solutions. Recently, architectural applications have more concerns about sustainable requirements, which are combined with the development of nanotechnology. The availability of nanomaterials and nano-devices offer the possibility to produce smart t...

This research is looking at the concept of nano-biomimicry (bio-mimicry on nano level) and its usage in architecture. The main concern of this research is to arrive to a better understanding of the levels of implementation of nano-biomimicry for sustainability in architecture. The research uses qualitative method and case study approach to analyze...

أكدت العمارة على مر العصور امكانياتها في استيعاب التطور التكنولوجي مستثمرةً اياه لتوليد نتاجاتها ولتحقيق حالة من الابتكار والجدة. وتسبب التقدم الملحوظ في تكنولوجيا المواد والانشاء والذي ترافق مع بدايات القرن الواحد والعشرين في تشجيع المعماريين على ابداع اشكال جديدة دون الخوف من انهيار المبنى بسبب قوة الجاذبية. وقد برزت المعمارية زها حديد كاحد الرمو...

The rapid development in technology of building materials and systems could be easily observed these days in the huge building advances such as achieving building sizes, shapes, forms and speed of building which could never be achieved by using ordinary building materials. One of the interested break overs in building materials technologies is Nano...

The attitude of architecture to nature through its history is not new. Architects consider nature as the master source of their inspiration for design. The last twenty years have witnessed a deep understanding of the characteristics of the natural forms depending on their organization according to fractal geometry. Many contemporary architects test...

وفر توظيف التكنولوجيا الرقمية في العمارة المعاصرة امكانيات جديدة على صعيد خلق الشكل وتصميم الهياكل الانشائية ووسائل انتاج المكونات والانشاء، علاوة على توفير امكانيات اختبار ادائية العمارة. ونتيجة لذلك ظهرت علاقات جديدة بين الشكل المعماري وهيكله الانشائي. وتنوعت تبعا لاختلاف النماذج الرقمية المختارة في بدء العملية الحاسوبية واختلاف المحددات الرقمية...

In recent years, there is great developments of new media technologies, electronics, acoustics and visual resources as well as new building materials, which leads toward finding new forms of architecture called media architecture. This leads to a gab with traditional architectural discourse about the importance of physical appearance of architectur...

Nanotechnology is one of the key technologies of the 21st century, which has a potentiality to offer sustainable solutions to contemporary architecture and lower building costs. It helps biomimicry (as a way of thinking which is going back to nature for inspiration) to be achieved at new levels, through producing (new materials, devices and robots)...

This research is looking at notion of urban regeneration and housing role on it. the research is structured into two parts; the first part is concerned with defining urban regeneration, its importance, and the and the different factors in academic literature. then it continues by dividing and thoroughly analyzing/discussing the different housing co...

Man's wish to predict his future is an old phenomenon connected with his early being in this earth. Future prediction needs enough knowledge about the subject related to with past and present. Future studies don't mean adopting one image for future, but make different possibilities by thinking about time through its three dimensions, past, present...
