Cities occupy less than 2% of the world lands but are responsible for 70% of CO2 emissions. Coastal areas constitute the most exposed regions facing climate change impacts. This contribution aims at stimulating a reflection over the role that sustainable and resilient urban planning can have in fostering SDGs in coastal regions. Sustainable urban planning can constitute the trigger to reduce global impacts that cities generate on environment as well as resilient urban planning can contribute to make cities more safe, efficient and equitable to cope with threats deriving from global scale. This contribution argues that the practice of urban planning should definitively embrace a holistic and multi-scale approach, moving from geography to design, from the integrated coastal zone management to the urban design.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"134 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":"117297379","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}

Miguel, Azores, built during the 18th and 19th centuries. The research highlights the existence of a facade typology expressed in the formal similarities between them. The matrix composition and the ornamental elements present on the 63 churches' facades were analysed and studied in detail in 41 churches, mapped and characterised by the elements that compose them. These are grouped into categories, allowing to establish and synthesise a typology, called the micaelense model facade, according to the composition principals present in the facades. The analysis method, the reading of the forms of the churches' facades, and the metric survey of these were based on old and current photographic records, supported by a comparative analysis elaborated and organised from tables and synthetic schemes systematised in vector drawings (graphic representations made in CAD).","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"5 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":"125100176","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}

Debnath","doi":"10.38027/iccaua2022en0210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38027/iccaua2022en0210","url":null,"abstract":"In Construction Management, it is difficult to predict the cost estimate during the preliminary stage of the project because of limited information and unknown factors. Artificial Neural Networks can help in the prediction of estimate because of their simplicity and adaptability to non-linear problems. Due to their self-organizing nature they can be used to solve the problems even with low level programming. This makes them useful in interpreting and generalizing inadequate input information. ANN’s are crud e derivatives of the biological neural network with single layered or multi-layered neuron in the form of input layer, hidden layer and output layer. The neural network first has to undergo training from historical data in order to make predictions or show results. The size of the data set, number of hidden neurons and the neural network architecture determines the success of the results. Selecting the right data set becomes imperative in this case. For the purpose of cost estimation, the cost drivers were taken as inputs and their estimated costs were taken as the target value. The cost drivers were selected carefully through literature review and survey to provide more accurate results for the estimate. The main drivers identified were: type of building, location, seismic zone, project complexity, ground condition, soil condition, plot area, plinth area, built-up area, number of stories, number of basement, principal structural material, type of foundation, level of design complexity, modular design, market conditions, construction conditions, risk factor, impact of risk, estimated duration of work, specification, quality of work and detailed cost estimate of project. A Pareto analysis performed on the significant drivers showed that the Duration of Work, Complexity of the Building, Plinth Area and Built-up Area, Height and Specifications were the most important cost drivers in a construction project. A problem was formulated based on these drivers with numerical and categorical data. The data set was trained with a neural network using the MATLAB software using feed forward backpropagation. Training was carried out till the greatest correlation and least Mean Squared Error was obtained after multiple iterations. This trained data was used to predict the cost for a new project. The output of the testing was 87% accurate despite the small data set used.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"394 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":"117093865","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}

The memorial operates on multiple levels simultaneously and this is what gives it its communicative power. The memorial will be examined from both an arts and architecture context. Several interlinked aspects will be explored which include place, social context, diagram, minimalism, phenomenology and time, and materiality. These elements combine to form a dialectical image in the mind of the viewer. Merleau- Ponty’s concept of the preobjective and Jean - Luc Nancy’s concept of infinite on the border of presentation are used in the analysis along with Gilles Deleuze’s concept of the diagram. Walter Benjamin’s concept of the dialectical image where multiple elements are combined to form a unique separate experience is also employed. The writer is both an artist and an architect.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"26 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":"116267297","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}

Daylight significantly affects the shaping of structures and the enrichment of sensory perception, psychologically and biologically. This article aims to examine the importance given by Steven Holl on the effects of natural light in the perception of the form. Within the scope of the study, through three different museum structures of Holl, functional and symbolic perception of the form and its contribution to the design were examined. Results show that in Steven Holl's design process, the inclusion of light in the building is an important design criterion that affects the form phenomenon and the perception of space. Contextually, it has been seen that it is dependent on the location, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays, and it reveals a sustainable design product because it saves energy.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"27 3-4 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":"116713114","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}
