Archi-tecture-machines will be analysed in line with several criteria alongside the additional aim of tracing its genealogy and categories. Therefore, the long present machine paradigm in architecture will be challenged toward its contemporary reassessment within which possible lines of development and major features of the architecture-instrument could be inferred against the chosen references and theoretical notions. The experimental prototype exo that claimed the status of the architecture-instrument in its most advanced form - integrating sentience, algorithmic control and automation, kinetic properties, adaptability, intelligent responsiveness and interaction concerning the tracked objects, systems and environmental parameters – while also attempting to redefine and question its epistemological, methodological and technical implications, will be used as a case study that has tested some of the proposed claims, providing thereby necessary empirical evidence for the arguments. The analysed examples and sources will establish a clear outline and framework of the machinic line of thinking in architecture, enabling one thus to discern and better understand the architecture-machine/in-strument’s semantic scopes, applied forms, constitutive properties and importance along with the disciplinary and scientific-artistic integration they imply in the current moment as a continuation of its much longer traditions.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122413527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This purpose has been usually established by Geographic Information Systems however the development of Computer-Aided Design software made it possible to analyse large areas or parts of cities with the help of BIM models. This study focuses on the assessment of prefabricated large-panel buildings in the garden city of Pécs, in Hungary. The goal was to determine a building selection method according to the integrity of the area. We took into consideration infrastructural facilities, spatial position of shops, bus stations, and educational institutions compared to the locations of selected buildings. This approach supported the determination of potential inherent in renovations. The research consisted of three main stages: BIM model production methods and procedures, use of algorithm-based workflows during data import and spatial analysis, and quantification and eval uation of generated information. Due to the high complexity of Architectural, Engineering, and Construction projects and new digitalized methods, the use of algorithms and BIM models has been the fastest growing part of the industry in the past few years. This combination can support logical examinations and calculations between 3D and 2D information. The generated final results derived from locations made it possible to evaluate prospective renovations. The presented methodologies can be used in the case of other types of buildings and can support the decisions during the delivery of assets.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131764562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a space syntax methodology is used in order to comprehend complex links between morphological and spatial characteristics of built environment and pedestrian movement and visibility at the selected public spaces in Novi Sad, by applying visibility graph analysis (VGA). The study is based on analyses of how are all fragments of public space visually intercon-nected, and what is its relation to the pedestrian movement and usage of public space. The analysis is done both at the ground level and at the eye level, with the focus on fixed and mobile physical and visual barriers. Obstacles are grouped into different categories, with the focus on immovable public furniture and moveable furniture of private cafes and restaurants that have particularly discouraged people from moving freely around public space with greater selection of walking routes. Improved visual integration of space and unobstructed pedestrian mobility are reassessed with the aim of promoting walking without interruptions and impediments, and as a starting point for other public activities.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116496861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, prefabricated buildings consist of factory-made components that are transported and assembled on-site to form the complete structure. Both building construction types have advantages and disadvantages, and both can be optimised in order to reach advanced performance levels. This paper attempts to highlight the main differences that are found between conventional and prefabricated buildings mainly in the field of sustainability. More specifically, a model of a small single family house is used in order to study the energy and environmental performance, when the two construction types are employed: the conventional one, composing of reinforced concrete and brickwork, and the prefabricated one, using the building module that was developed within the research project SU.PR.I.M. For both construction types, the heating and cooling energy needs are calculated for different thermal insulation thicknesses and climate contexts, in order to show which construction is more energy efficient. Furthermore, the environmental impact of both constructions is estimated, with the aim to highlight the overall performance of each building not only during its use, but throughout their lifetime. Through this analysis the potential of both construction types to form a sustainable building is explored, showing interesting results and new insights for the building industry and the prospective users.","PeriodicalId":337051,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Conference on Places and Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125036690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During 2018, an extensive multidisciplinary research was conducted in order to investigate the current condition on 50 sites, explore the quality and quantity of relevant resources and offer proposals for developing contemporary balneology facilities. The architectural programs spanned from modest drinking fountains to complex developments and resorts with variety of facilities. Throughout the process, a series of model units were developed and tailored to match the medical and thera-peutical requirements with the imperatives of environmentally conscious, sustainable and resilient architecture. Typological and modular approach was identified as the most efficient both for effective devel opment and construction in various circumstances as well as for promoting the balneology as a rediscovered potential for healthcare tourism, well-being and revival of some local communities. Site-specific architectural design is perceived as one of the key premises of green architecture; however, the topology of Vojvodina planes has enabled the development of modular units that are easily adjusted to the specific site. These units were developed aiming to achieve different functional and esthetical variations using the same basic structure, building principles and com-ponents. Furthermore, this approach enables seasonal variations and optimisations in facility’s capacity, allowing the permanent, year-round operation avoiding unnecessary operation costs and maintaining favourable ecological footprint. Finally, by using the optimised units for potential extensions, maintaining and improving of building performance is secured, while keeping recogniz-able and uncompromised architectural language throughout facility’s life span. The use of passive design features and on-site renewable energy resources (solar and geothermal) was also taken into the consideration from the conceptual design phase.

The housing sector in Norway represents 67% of the building stock, which reinforces the importance of addressing sustainability in this sector. The research aims to open the BIM circle to residents, increasing transparency and building trust in decision-making processes, facilitating easier communication, creating a new cultural identity and opportunities for inter-generational relations, visualizing com-plex technical solutions and ultimately influencing better project outcomes. The methodology used both quantitative and qualitative research methods that were organized through summer-schools and semester courses. In the paper, the analysis of the social/individual barriers to sustainable refurbishment and co-creation of a new interactive tool to achieve citizen engagement, are given. The methods also include the review of the past refurbishment projects, in which we identify successes and failures in the decision-making processes. Those bottom-up approaches are developed to better meet residents’ needs by gathering their feedback, leading to improved communication of the benefits of a high standard refurbishment project. A substantial part of gathering information was to listen and not teach to understand people needs and voices ultimately creating a visual survey.

At the local level, the emergency generates urban policies that blend security and decorum, depicting minorities and urban poor as undesirable subjects to be pushed at the margins of the socio-spatial order. The welfare shrinkage, born out of austerity policies, pushed local authorities to curb migrants’ access to territorial rights such as social services. This lack of formal welfare leads migrants to rely on informal social networks, showing their capacity to construct their own paths of socio-spatial insertion in a new environment. The diversity of urban solidarity experiences – local associations, urban movements and individual citizens – creates an autonomous infrastructure of resistance to security policies and put in question the dominant nationalism.
