urban design problems have become so complex that no single designer is able to consider all aspects of a design area simultaneously. lately the application of computerized and scientific methods have helped designers analyze complex problems. one of these new methods is space syntax. the purpose of this study is to first investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this method and then suggest ...

The present essay scrutinizes the application of discrete mollification as a filtering procedure to solve a nonlinear backward inverse heat conduction problem in one dimensional space. These problems are seriously ill-posed. So, we combine discrete mollification and space marching method to address the ill-posedness of the proposed problem. Moreover, a proof of stability and<b...

this paper discusses the results of the full-scale field measurement study to investigate the most efficient application strategy of the hybrid turbine ventilator (htv) in improving the indoor thermal comfort in hot-humid tropics. the effects of three different htv application strategies performance on improving the levels of indoor air temperature, relative humidity (rh) and air velocity were ...

This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...
