Throughout history, humans have used the environment to build structures for defense. Fortifications are clear examples of buildings created to better protect important settlements and homes. Over time, these structures have gone beyond their origina...

Dispute resolution significantly enhances construction performance as it facilitates effective time, cost, quality and scope management, which may be disrupted in the presence of conflicts and disputes. Quantity Surveyors (QSs) play multiple roles in...

Imagine picking up an e-scooter or e-bike from a charging dock on campus that combines solar panels with a filtered rainwater refill fountain, a mobile phone charging point, climbing plants, and insect habitats. What if the space also offered compost...

This article describes the relationship between spatial perception and temporal experience, emphasizing the limitations of linear frameworks in understanding these phenomena for contemporary students of design. Drawing on recent literature in neurosc...

Over the past two decades, sustainability and quality of life (QoL) have become foundational concepts in the design of buildings and urban spaces. Due to their strong interrelation and shared emphasis on human well-being, distinguishing between these...

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has opened new avenues for integrating artificial intelligence into architectural design workflows. This paper explores the feasibility of applying generative AI to solve a classic combinatorial problem:...

Bio-inspirations in the literature of architecture have been studied as form findings and material explorations; however, there is a gap in exploring a method to simplify thermal and daylighting inspiration from nature as assembled building enclosure...

The traditional construction industry significantly contributes to global resource consumption and climate change. Conventional methods limit the development of complex and multifunctional architectural forms. In contrast, 3D concrete printing (3DCP)...

University students are subject to various demands in their role as academics. Such pressures tend to amplify emotional distress, making them more susceptible to mental health hazards. This study investigates the influence of enclosed courtyards on s...

Green buildings (GBs) are a means of achieving sustainable construction. However, they face challenges, such as higher (perceived or actual) investment costs and inadequate capital. Green finance (GF) presents opportunities to address some challenges...
