This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

This paper examines the development of sustainable architectural design strategies in office buildings from 1970 to the present. Drawing on literature, policies, and historical examples, it traces the transformation of sustainability from a loosely defined env…

Airport terminal buildings are a reflection of modern technology, as well as representation of the distinctive identity of each country and contemporary interior design trends. This paper aims to examine the impact biophilic design has on passenger perception.…

The Designesart Collection was created as part of the master’s program in Furniture and Interior Design at the Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco’s Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas, Portugal. It is a product series that values inherent Beira Baixa’s ter…

This study proposes a climate-adaptive framework for modular micro-living units as a construction-based response to growing urban challenges related to climate resilience, densification, and housing affordability. The design integrates prefabricated cross-lami…

Understanding pedestrian perception is essential for designing walkable and inclusive urban environments. This study employs real-world eye-tracking to investigate how pedestrians visually engage with urban streetscapes during everyday navigation. Using wearab…

Cities consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO₂ emissions. Given these negative impacts, cities are major contributors to climate change, one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. As dynamic organ…

Courtyards hold significant functional value in both traditional and contemporary architecture. They serve as open-air spaces that facilitate social interaction for users within urban environments. In order for these spaces to be utilized more efficiently by u…

Few ancient structures inspire spiritual reverence and architectural awe like the Roman Pantheon. Designed as a temple and a cosmological instrument, the Pantheon depicts how Roman architects transformed daylight into a divine symbol. This paper examines the s…

This study aims to evaluate fire safety and escape route design in student dormitories. Ismail Necati Efendi KYK Dormitory and Hubbi Hatun Dormitory in Karabük province were comparatively examined in terms of space organization, user density, number and placem…

This study investigates the return on investment (ROI) of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry and addresses common barriers to its adoption such as high start-up costs and lack of familiarity with the technology. Despite its prove…

Interior lighting profoundly affects health, perception, and comfort. This study investigates key lighting parameters—intensity, spectrum, exposure timing, and spatial layout—and their physiological and psychological effects. Based on scenario simulations, thi…

This study presents a Hybrid Digital-Physical Risk Management Framework designed to enhance urban climate resilience through the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. By combining real-time IoT sensor networks, AI-based predictive analytics, and blockchain…

This study offers a comparative analysis of construction risk management practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and Türkiye, focusing on regulatory frameworks, technological integration, and practical methodologies. The UK, utilizing the Construction (Design and…

This paper explores the role of archival study in exploring site integrity within the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) framework, using the case of Islamic heritage sites in Java, Indonesia. In contexts where material traces have been lost or obscured, archival …

Heritage restoration projects face numerous challenges, including the preservation of historical accuracy, effective stakeholder collaboration, and maintaining transparent records of interventions. This paper proposes a theoretical framework that integrates Bu…

The rapid growth of city populations and the increasing complexity of managing city infrastructure have led to the emergence of smart cities, which rely on advanced technologies to optimise urban services. However, one of the key challenges facing smart cities…

This paper explores the transformative role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in enhancing stakeholder engagement in transportation infrastructure projects. Drawing on literature, real-world case studies, and survey results from 32 stakeholders, the rese…
