This paper provides an overview of the theory of Bruhat-Tits buildings. Besides, we explain how Bruhat-Tits buildings can be realized inside Berkovich spaces. In this way, Berkovich analytic geometry can be used to compactify buildings. We discuss in detail the example of the special linear group. Moreover, we give an intrinsic description of Bruhat-Tits buildings in the framework of non-Archim...

In urban planning, access to public spaces provides social relations for citizens. The goal of thispaper is to evaluate the elderly's requirements in public spaces (case study of Sheet Bazaar, Zanjan, Iran) in order torecognize and classify their strengths and weaknesses and present more appropriate and effective strategies for theirimprovement. In this research, the related literature on old a...

This paper describes an on-going project with the purpose of building a digital urban landscape, of Gongguan Taipei, for academics and practitioners. Precise urban data around sites are provided and professional practices can use the data to evaluate the environmental impact of new projects. Scans were made of a street and surrounding buildings in the center of Taipei city, based on as-built en...

the pavilion can be outlined among the most important architectural identity elements in persian gardens. usually these structures were built in the middle of the garden and at the confluence of two longitudinal and transverse axes in such a way that it could be seen from four sides to maximize the geometrical composition of the persian four-garden. although relatively different reasons for the...

This is a current version of a part of the book “Transformations of Grassmann spaces”. We study transformations of Grassmann spaces preserving certain geometrical constructions (related with buildings). The next part will be devoted to Grassmann spaces associated with polar spaces.

In the last years the interest for designing and implementing smart spaces grew significantly. Many researchers adopted a top-down approach, focusing on embedding smartness in buildings, objects and everyday artefacts. In my research work I propose the adoption of a usercentred design approach to reach a new definition of smart spaces based on people’s needs and requirements. The main goal will...

based on a gender equity perspective and within a pluralistic civil society, women should have equal rights for presence in and use of urban open spaces. despite this, various factors decrease their presence including inappropriate design of space, as well as socio-cultural obstacles. since women’s major place of presence and activity has traditionally been in or near home, neighborhood open sp...

studying the ecology of halophyte plant species provides useful information for reclamation and managements of arid and semiarid rangelands. this research was implemented as a pot experiment in which seeds of three rangeland species (erotiaceratoides, agropyrndesertorum, and salsolaarbusculiformis) were sown in the soil taken from understory of salsola or from the open spaces. soil samples were...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the generalized topological molecular lattices as a generalization of Wang's topological molecular lattices,  topological spaces, fuzzy topological spaces, L-fuzzy topological spaces and soft topological spaces. Topological molecular lattices were defined by closed elements, but in this new structure we present the concept of the open elements and defi...

in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, shrubs may act as fertility islands but theireffect may vary depending on their morphology and ecological impacts. this research wasaimed to study effect of three shrubs scariola orientalis, astragalus heratensis, and rosapersica on soil properties and on the microclimate conditions (temperature, luminance, andsoil moisture) of their understory in the steppe ra...
