I'm specifically interested in the radius around the building site, within which a given material has to be sourced to be considered regional. In LEED, this radius is 500 miles (800 km) around a building site and materials that are sourced within a 160 km radius are given double credit within the Materials and Resources credit category. Is there a similar consideration within DGNB certification? Thank you!

a small discussion I want to open on this platform,

What is Humanitarian architecture?

I am not seeking an “ official definition” , I am seeking points of views.

From your opinion as an architect and a researcher, when can we call architecture Humanitarian ?

This survey is a part of ongoing research to develop an empowerment index for architects in architectural education at the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning, IIT Kharagpur.

Your suggestions and opinions will make a valuable contribution to the research. I would appreciate it if you could kindly spare some of your valuable time filling out the questionnaire.

What kind of method is used the most?

water system is a important factor to form Hongcun village as a famous traditional ancient village, the question is how the water system run in the village, and does any design ideas come from the water system?

in rapid urban expansion, peri-urban area's landscape (forest, hill area, wetlands) are occurred to change by uncontrolled land-use, impact on buffering settings. how to measure and make further policies to overcome?

The aim of the 10th eCAADe Regional International Symposium (RIS 2024) organized at ETSAAGET is to promote innovative approaches of Computer-Aided Architectural Design to the scientific, academic, and professional communities in the Spanish region and beyond. The main objective is on the potential of computational design to help improve the use of sustainable materials in Architecture. The symposium will create connections and promote discourse between local expertises, researchers, and professionals in the field of sustainable material application, with the eCAADe and the scientific community, to develop project ideas, research, and educational collaborations.

In addition, the event will serve to promote the creation of an interconnection between architects, designers, researchers and academics in the area of Southwest Europe, for the advancement of computational design, sustainable design, simulation and the use of sustainable materials, whether these are traditional materials such as wood and its new uses and products or other types of materials, more sustainable, recyclable and reusable, which bring a new perspective in architectural design.

Researchers, academics, scholars, and professionals of any countries are invited to contribute to the symposium by presenting their research work. The paper submission is organized in two steps. At first, an abstract is submitted which will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Abstract - 300 words + references (no template needed)

I'm looking for examples of public squares/plazas with a high tree canopy coverage. Places that are classic 'plazas' in architectural meaning, function as places of large gatherings and events, but have substantial amount of trees and high degree of tree canopy coverage. Place de la Republique in Paris is one example.

I'm also interested in any research on trees on urban plazas.

Thanks!

Mosque, as an essential building type of Muslim society performing the same function throughout the world but their forms are diversified. Climate, as a prime generator of architecture, also influenced the regional historical mosques. I want to know whether the mosque as a building type can be studied for their sustainable features. Please keep in mind that the mosques require a strict orientation and spatial arrangement.
