regionalism is an analytical and critical perspective which focuses on preserving special features of place and attempts to fill the vacuum in architecture. globalization is a complex multi-stage process that causes increasing complexity of time and place, greater awareness across the global and acceleration of cross cultural interactions. therefore, the present paper attempts to analyze global...

This paper presents an approach to the computational use of drawings through the development of complexity measures, defined as the information content of the description of a drawing’s structure. As such it is the function of the representation used. The paper presents examples of the use of such measurements applied to design drawings of architects.

Interactive multimedia (IMM) navigation systems rely on two key non-graphical components, a schematic or architectural framework and an associated programming solution. Two primary framework types are recognized – branching (structured) and referential (unstructured) – although most navigation systems include elements of both. Programmed solutions to navigational frameworks typically display va...

Today, there are many energy simulation tools in the market. However, existing energy simulation tools are not architect friendly. There are at least three shortcomings of the existing energy simulation tools that impede architects from using them: excessive data input requirement, non intuitive user interface, and too complex. An energy simulation tool will be used regularly by architects if i...

Purpose Quality in the construction industry is an important issue yet ignored during initial stages of life cycle a project, that is, design and stage. The contribution stakeholders, especially architects generally suspended though it has huge significance terms cost time related to quality. This research endeavors examine issues project from architects' purview, understand relative importance...

preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. if the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have been...
