For this purpose, simulation of pedestrian mobility remains relevant and can facilitate the design of buildings and urban spaces in this newly emerging context. Under COVID-19, a university campus in Algeria has been selected to demonstrate digital simulation for the study of pedestrian mobility. Infraworks software founded on multi-agent simulation is used. Based on the establishment and comparison of various scenarios, we are able to confirm the effects of the anti-pandemic measures on pedestrian behavior in the studied area, such as social distance and the decline in student population, and the implementation of new traffic plans to enhance working conditions on the university campus. The results show that this tool enables the readjustment of space and people’s behavior so that the university activities carry on with a minimum health risk.","PeriodicalId":47295,"journal":{"name":"Architectural Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42468898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study has two objectives: the design and numerical investigations of the performance of vertically oriented high capacity linear slot diffusers (HCLSD) in an atrium building and the verification and validation of the different turbulence models through laboratory-scale experiments. The HCLSD was investigated with varying angles of inclination of the blades (ϕ = 0o to 25o) for the in-depth performance analyses. The performance was evaluated by monitoring and comparing the velocity and temperature profiles along the vertical lines drawn at different locations in the studied domain. A relatively longer jet throw was noticed through quantitative analysis at ϕ = 0o. Note that more than 33% increment in the face velocity was recorded at this angle. The corresponding terminal velocity of 0.225 m/s was observed at 8 m distance from the diffuser face. The detailed investigations at 0o deflector angle (case-1) were carried out for velocity, temperature field, and thermal comfort indices, i.e. PMV and PPD models. For the occupied zone, the thermal comfort indices were found within the acceptable ranges (i.e. PMV = + 0.1 to +0.9 and PPD = 4% to 20%).

The printability of these materials can be defined by their pumpability, extrudability, and buildability. We present a field-oriented methodology for the design of printable local mixtures suitable for various printers. Three tests were defined to characterize the flowability, pumpability and extrudability, and buildability of such materials in their fresh or ‘green’ state, and used to optimize the workability of a sample material for printability. Based on the outcomes, two indices are proposed for the classification and control of the printability of earthen mixtures: flowability and green strength. Our results demonstrate that adjusting water content for consistency and adjusting plasticity for cohesiveness are both vital for tuning printability, although the necessary modifications can negatively affect the material's strength in its hardened state; incorporating cellulose microfibres can counter this by increasing flowability, plasticity, and compressive strength.","PeriodicalId":47295,"journal":{"name":"Architectural Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41702724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed at investigating the effect of applying a distance studio teaching approach in the first year of architectural education on students' skill acquisition, performance, and achievement. The study used a mixed-method approach to assess students' ‘perceived usefulness’ and ‘perceived ease of use’ of online teaching of the Basic Design course in addition to its effect on the perceivers themselves by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

The work adopts the following four-step methodology: (1) Interviews; (2) identification of findings; (3) online surveys; and (4) comparative analysis. Results from 139 respondents were collected from 15 Egyptian universities and 6 non-Egyptian universities. Findings demonstrate the potential advantages of reduced commuting costs, besides going paperless. Nevertheless, a crucial need for a well-established infrastructure and increased self-motivation has been raised. Furthermore, the study sheds the light on the future potential of integrating hybrid-learning models, virtual reality, and other practices to embrace learning strategies.

This research project investigates the correlation between van Eyck’s playgrounds and his place-making depending on the spatial configuration. It analyses the planning of 70 playgrounds based on space syntax techniques and clusters them into six groups. It discusses the playgrounds’ spatial properties through their corresponding genotypes and phenotypes. The results show that the playgrounds represent a spectrum of place-making concepts ranging from relativity to labyrinthian clarity with the twin phenomena and in-between as intermediate spatial concepts. The results augment quantitively the claims in the literature and identify each playground’s dominant place-making concept and its particular intricacies.","PeriodicalId":47295,"journal":{"name":"Architectural Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41395153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environments that affect PLWD may start out as workplaces, public spaces or their own homes. But as dementia develops, residences often need to change to allow for increased levels of care. For the best part, greater levels of dependence mean greater institutionalization and often that means ‘residential homes’ – institutional substitutes for the real thing. The institutionalization associated with dementia means increased separation from families, communities, loves, passions, hobbies, familiar places and even their material belongings. An undignified last chapter for our parents and grandparents. People who, like the rest of us, have lived full and interesting lives. But what does this attrition of normal living circumstances do to PLWD? Andwhat can architecture do to help? This special issue of Architectural Science Review is dedicated to an exploration of evidence-based and theoretical approaches to designing for PLWD,with the understanding that architecture is not just the setting where care for PLWD will take place, but it is a critical part of the complexity that surrounds a dementia diagnosis. This comes in contrast to the stubbornly extant paradigms of architecture for institutional care settings, where the decoration shifts with fashion and the architects’ ideas, but the core design is driven by the need for the efficient functioning of staff rather than the quality of life that the staff are there to support. Even in permanent residential settings, efficienciesmade to improve the provision of care tend tomake settings institutional, less liveable and possibly worse for dementia outcomes (Charras 2021; Zeisel 2020; Burke and Veliz-Reyes 2021). Dementia is an umbrella term for organic neural deterioration disorders. The most common is Alzheimer’s Disease, which usually manifests as an inability to learn new things and remember new information; there are the Frontal Dementias, which are marked by personality and behavioural change. Other dementias present with other symptoms also. Regardless of the specificity of diagnosis, the dementias typically worsen with time, to impair higher cognitive functions such as abstract thinking, judgement and verbal fluency. As dementia progresses, it frequently causes emotional and behavioural abnormalities also (Dowden et al. 2008) The progression of symptomatology, along","PeriodicalId":47295,"journal":{"name":"Architectural Science Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58660673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
