Virtual environment walk through applications are generally enhanced by a user’s interactions within a simulated architectural space, but the enhancement that stems from changes in spatial sound that are coupled with a user’s behavior are particularly important, especially within regard to creating a ’sense of place’. When accompanied by stereoscopic image synthesis, spatial sound can immerse t...

the intervention of urban design in irans architectural structures has been for many years a challenging issue for architects and urban designers over their professional realm. the preservation of architectural structures in iran has always resorted to extremes. this control and direction has sometimes resulted in exclusion of architecture position and has sometimes, once faced with lack of pro...

Banjarmasin is known as a tidal waterfront city and it is called City of a Thousand Rivers. The city level was approximately -16 cm below the sea level and almost a swamp-land. The urbanization and the city development programs have changed the city’s physical and spatial plan from a wetland to a mainland structure. The issues of the city's transformation have changed the city structure from th...

Today, one of the important topics, which are mentioned in architecture, is the relationship between architectural works with each other and way of effect of such works on them. On the other hand, under current conditions and despite existing trends which look for their own architecture, it is crucial important to interpret how contemporary architectural works are affected by previous architect...

Complex software systems require expressive notations fo their software architectures. Two competing paths have emerged. O specialized notation for architecture – or architecture description lan The other is to adapt a general-purpose modeling notation, such as U has a number of benefits, including familiarity to developers, close m plementations, and commercial tool support. However, it remain...

C&C and deployment are base views for describing software architectures. Both views typically exist of several models that highlight particular aspects of the software. From our experience, managing the dependencies between architectural models is a challenging, yet crucial task for maintaining consistency of an architectural description. In this paper, we focus on the composition of architectu...

Complex software systems require expressive notations for representing their software architectures. Two competing paths have emerged. One is to use a specialized notation for architecture, an architecture description language (ADL). The other is to adapt a general-purpose modeling notation, such as UML. The latter has a number of benefits, including familiarity to developers, close mapping to ...

Convergence is occurring in the fields of architectural and engineering design, construction, and GIS. The primary goal is to ensure that everyone working on a building, road or highway, and infrastructure project has a seamless flow of design information. The primary business drivers for this transformative technology advance are productivity and efficiency in the design, construction and faci...
