The traditional architecture is the achievement of mankind experiences in different geographical/cultural and social domains. The traditional architecture of Iran as a valuable outcome is one of the live and spirited instances of the history of human life that through pondering and research and close relationship with its natural, historical and human environment would be obtained. The repea...

The article is focused on the analysis of existence of an individual in the urban environment. A human being is referred to as an individual engaged in creative activity of developing and updating the urban environment.

Virtual reconstruction of urban areas, which are lost due to natural or man-provoked disasters, is nowadays feasible through the usage of contemporary threedimensional technologies and virtual reality. With the aid of topography, architecture, history and archaeology, the once existed urban areas, or even whole cities, can be reconstructed as close as possible to the original. The work presente...

Currently, green rating systems are mainly utilized for correctly sizing mechanical and electrical systems, which have short lifetime expectancies. In these systems, passive solar and bio-climatic architecture, which have long lifetime expectancies, are neglected. Urban rating systems consider buildings and services in addition to neighborhoods and public transportation as integral parts of the...

City growth and environmental difficulties last decades leads the art of urban design and development think more precisely and new approaches for conserving environment and developing urban areas have been evolved.The present study deals with concepts related to ecology in the city and in particular the theory of Ecological Urbanism and its criteria is expressed. Also theory and characteristics...

Preferences for unfamiliar urban environments were studied as a function of urban categories, viewing time, and four predictor variables: complexity, coherence, identifiability, and myster¥. A nonmetric factor analysis of the preference ratings for the Iongest viewing-time condition yielded live dimensions: Contemporary Life, Alley/Factory, Urban Nature, Unusual Architecture, and Older Building...

Although the technological components required to implement Internet of Things (IoT) inspired solutions are already available, in most application scenarios it is not clear how to structure and combine them to reach a certain global behavior of a system. This paper proposes an architecture that helps design IoT-based systems that support the first responses during medium-size or large urban inc...

Recently, “wireless last mile” has received considerable attention since it requires much less infrastructure compared to wireline alternatives such as xDSL and cable modem networks, resulting in a cost-effective solution to the Internet access. However, to date most of the considerations has been focused on densely populated urban areas although broadband service demand in sparsely populated r...

One of the fundamental notions of realization of sustainable city within the framework of the theory of sustainable development is what affects the urban green spaces as well as the influence they may have. As the upshot of years’ worth of experiences in the ideology of Iranian urban design, Iranian garden is of magnificently high position which possesses the potentials to act as the green spac...
