without the surrounding environment of a site, architecture loses its full meaning. in the evolutionof the design process, a site's environment should be understood as the integral factor within which a designed productor artifact is expected to perform. the environment is not of secondary priority. every building is intertwined with itscontext; context being its physical, visual and ecological...

the author in this research has tried to link the alexander pattern language theory, which is based on human oriented and spatial factors, to landscape design, which could come to a cyclic model of “a pattern language for landscape design” in iranian schools of architecture. so, a landscape design process based on the value of human-oriented approach, which is extracted from other values, and t...

Islam is regarded to pay attention to the characteristics of urban life which can be practiced on the urban settings. Not surprisingly, Islam has made a great focus on the form and design of cities and prescribed detailed and elaborate regulations for individual and communal life. Seen from other way round, the penetration of Islam into various regions such as Iran, Europe, and Africa had an un...

weather condition is one of the much effective factors in the principle of architecture and urbanization. so in this research long-term trend of effective climate elements in architecture of darab city including mean of minimum temperature, temperature mean, mean of maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, maximum relative humidity, relative humidity mean, wind speed and sun hours in mon...

in this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. the engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. the difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. an important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...

defining space by dividing it to inside and outside is one of human’s ways to recognize his positionin environment. architecture is created to response to this need for inside/outside spaces. design of inside and outsidespaces and relation between them always has been one of necessities for definition and limitation of human livingspaces, but little attention to relation of this two spatial rea...

sustainable architecture is known as an important strategy in recent years and all around the world are cooperating to achieve this by use of natural elements. there are many examples of residential buildings in iran s past and its traditional architecture that the architecture in the interim of paying attention to aesthetic issues and preserving the natural environment acts in a way that meets...

quality of people's wayfinding in an unknown and complicated environment is a challenging issue which has engaged many researchers since the 70s till the present time. cognitive and environmental researchers believe that ability of people in perception of the environment and wayfinding are different from each other. now, how can the environment of a building meet the various needs of all i...
