Abstract

ABSTRACT Can skyscrapers survive after COVID-19? Can the idea of integrating vertical farming (VF) into vertical architecture support the environmental, economic, and social issues in the post-pandemic era? Answering these questions is the main objective of this study. Therefore, it explores a) the impact of the pandemic on the built environment, especially skyscrapers; b) the challenges facing the survival of skyscrapers; c) the design parameters and main components of VF; and d) the expected feasibility of integrating VF into vertical architecture to reduce the effects of the pandemic. The research concludes that the skyscraper-integrated vertical farming (SIVF) paradigm can create a closed ecosystem that preserves the environment by a) supporting food security, b) improving indoor environmental quality, c) enhancing psychological and physical health, d) saving energy, e) reducing greenhouse gas emissions and releasing oxygen, and f) supporting the local economy. Consequently, the SIVF paradigm can inaugurate an innovative approach that provides insights into new research trends and discoveries. However, further constraints in the adoption of SIVF should be addressed, and collaborations between researchers and multidisciplinary experts must be created to achieve suitable solutions.

疫情后建筑：对摩天大楼综合垂直农业（SIFF）预期可行性的批判性审查

摘要新冠肺炎后摩天大楼能否幸存？将垂直农业（VF）融入垂直建筑的想法能否支持后疫情时代的环境、经济和社会问题？回答这些问题是本研究的主要目的。因此，它探讨了a）疫情对建筑环境，特别是摩天大楼的影响；b）摩天大楼生存面临的挑战；c） VF的设计参数和主要部件；以及d）将VF集成到垂直架构中以减少疫情影响的预期可行性。研究得出结论，摩天大楼综合垂直农业（SIFF）模式可以通过a）支持粮食安全，b）改善室内环境质量，c）增强心理和身体健康，d）节约能源，e）减少温室气体排放和释放氧气，以及f）支持当地经济，创造一个保护环境的封闭生态系统。因此，SIFF范式可以开创一种创新方法，为新的研究趋势和发现提供见解。然而，应该解决采用SIFF的进一步限制，必须在研究人员和多学科专家之间建立合作，以实现合适的解决方案。图形摘要

期刊介绍： Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
