In higher education research, computer and information technologies are getting increased consideration and attention. These technologies can be integrated into the design education through taking into account a scaffolding mechanism, which will support activities of teaching/learning in a distributed environment. This research presents a digital-based scaffolding geographic information systems...

rehabiliating bushehr historic fabric and paying to it as an important urban fabric through increasing capabilities and facilities is main concern. bushehr historical fabric can be the consequence of several factors the most important of which is the persian gulf and its past history as a national one. this fabric, is organic, dense, compact, having its own characteristics. one of its main prio...

The recent technological developments in communication networks have results into a broad range of networks, e.g.,Wi-Fi, Mobile ad-hoc networks(MANET), 3G and other cellular networks, wireless sensor networks, etc. It is envisioned that such diverse networks must cooperate with each other to form cooperative urban networks, for the sake of making use of all the services and resources. Such inte...

This paper explores the developing of how designers can search for inspiration source which provided in the form of traditional elements and archetypes and also their role on idea generation in design from building to urban measure. In order to clarify of this, current study focuses on the Far-East region as an ancient part of the world in which there is a huge number of symbols like well known...

Crowdsensing, people tracking and urban space utilization are critical tasks for understanding human behavior in smart cities. Human sensing applications provide valuable feedback to the urban developers and architects to optimize public facilities and re-invent spaces. In this chapter, a Renewable Wireless Sensor Network (RWSN) architecture for human sensing is presented to study the spatial a...
