Bioclimatic principles that provide solutions based on environmental conditions around the site can be applied in building design. This design study focuses suitability of bioclimatic to providing thermal comfort. research method uses a qualitative with descriptive approach. The analysis technique data collection is visual assessment. object under has criteria Indonesian tropical concept. resul...

This paper proposes an empirical approach to the visualization phase of architectural images, employing established concepts, methodologies, and measurement techniques found in media psychology and user-centered studies. The paper proposes a human-centered approach for conceptualizing visualization technologies and evaluating the quality concept of images to simulate a satisfactory architectura...

Visualization is an important aspect of architectural design. This field has evolved and influenced continuously the design medium and process. Architecture implies experience of space and experience relies on motion. Presently, the visualization process offers minimal experiential feed-back as it lacks immersive and proprioceptive output. Recent technological leaps necessitate a re-evaluation ...

Architectural patterns are a fundamental aspect of the architecting process and subsequently the architectural documentation. Unfortunately, there is only poor support for modeling architectural patterns for two reasons. First, patterns describe recurring design solutions and hence do not directly match the elements in modeling languages. Second, they support an inherent variability in the solu...

We construct a manifestly gauge invariant Lagrangian in 3 + 1 dimensions for N Kaluza-Klein modes of an SU(m) gauge theory in the bulk. For example, if the bulk is 4 + 1, the effective theory is Π i=1 SU(m)i with N chiral (m, m) fields connecting the groups sequentially. This can be viewed as a Wilson action for a transverse lattice in x, and is shown explicitly to match the continuum 4+1 compa...

This paper is an attempt to understand the influence of architectural settings on people; why certain architectural experiences stays with us whereas others vanish. It is a first step in an approach towards a greater understanding of subject and as such its starting point is purely theoretical. We proceed the investigation by exploring two perspectives on the issue: a) a phenomenological perspe...

When thinking about traditional Iranian architecture, one imagines extensive ornamental patterns that adorn almost every surface of mosques and other prominent buildings. Yet, many theories of architecture since the beginning of twentieth century have considered ornamentation a superficial and superfluous layer. But, are these ornamental surfaces superficial and can they be removed so easily? T...

: One of the tools for the architectural advent form is the structure, while architecture and structures, particularly in our sociable Iran, are separated from each other. Most successful buildings have dominating designers who are proficient in structural issues and have a comprehension of the structural system's behavior. The extent of attention to the structure of the building will inevitabl...
