The main phases of any housing project are planning, design, execution, regulation, and use. All the stakeholders involved in each phase can impact the project's status and progress. The study has explored the dynamics of acquiring five fundamental housing resources, i.e., physical, financial,...

Purpose This paper delves into the critical role of women in the domains of architecture, engineering, construction and urban planning, particularly within the context of the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the imperative of achieving gender parity. Concentrating on the...

It is hard to assess the pace and prospects of the solar revolution and the just energy transition. In architecture solar energy continues to be seen as a salve, a convenient and effective response to the forces - social, regulatory, economic - pushing for more and more efficient energy use in...

Renderings tragen im Kontext des spekulativen Urbanismus wesentlich zur Legitimation von Stadtentwicklungsprojekten bei. Der Beitrag erläutert, wie mithilfe dieser Form der digitalen Architekturvisualisierung umfassende Bildwelten innerhalb der jeweiligen Planungsprozesse entstehen und wie sie...

In the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital platforms have recently received significant attention. Although IIoT platforms revolve around similar business objectives, they address various use cases and, thus, differ considerably in their architectural setup. While research has already...

Architecture and urban planning have always been deeply involved in the design and building of defense facilities because cities have been centers of economic, political and military power since the dawn of civilization. The famous Roman architect Vitruvius was himself a military engineer before...

The paper analyses architects as a professional group in General Government (GG) during the Second World War. It showcases some of their design work, projects, employment, education, and other aspects of everyday life in an occupied country. The focus is on architects working in three cities:...

This study aims to review the challenges of implementing big data analytics by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMES) in Malaysia. There is a lack of literature studies examining the relationship between Lessig's four modalities and the challenges of big data analytics adoption. This study assesses...

Whether we are embracing or countering technology, we are unable to avoid its grip on our world. Architecture is one of the areas which are the most indebted to technology. The most influential thinker on technology and contemporary architectural theory is Martin Heidegger. According to him...

We propose a method to estimate the capitalized value of the architectural design quality of a neighbourhood. Our economic design premium is identified by spatially differentiating property prices and design quality within neighbourhoods and comparing the differences across neighbourhoods. We...

Purpose This research argues that architecture knowledge is fragmented between the profession and academia as evidenced by long-standing conflicting opinions regarding desirable graduate attributes. Work-integrated learning (WIL) is one mode of education where these fragments should come...

This book collates important contributions from Engineering to Adapt (ETA2023). Eta, η, the 7th letter of the Greek alphabet, is scrupulously used to denote efficiency and this is what ETA2023 strives for. In context, efficiency, η, is about avoiding waste, may this be energy, time, money, or...

"Designers are often depicted as social change agents that serve the good in the world. Similarly, codesign tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself, and do participatory practices always produce socially...

The most productive way to engage society as a whole with issues of sustainability is to involve them in the development and execution of the solutions.

Purpose A challenge in implementing Universal Design (UD) is the perceived additional cost, which acts as a barrier to its widespread adoption. The few studies that have examined the cost for UD apply a theoretical research approach, failing to account for the unique design context that...

Purpose Post-socialist urban development changed cityscapes and city life profoundly, reusing public space in a different manner and reinterpreting the role of work, heritage, and consumption among others. Focusing on two case studies – the Outer Józsefváros in Budapest and the Praga North...

System architecture plays a crucial role in the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. Over recent decades, various architectures have been introduced by scholars for the establishment of Digital Government infrastructure. However, there is no uniform agreement on Digital Government...

Purpose The purpose of this research is to improve the understanding of what constitutes a successful thesis proposal (TP) and as such enhance the quality of the TP writing in architecture, planning and related disciplines. Design/methodology/approach Based on extended personal experience and a...

The pronounced global crises caused by the effects of climate change is causing an essential need to rethink and redefine the basic assumptions about our relationship with nature. As more and more of the world's population lives in urban areas, the responsibility for the relationship to nature...
