This paper presents the study concerning floating buildings in terms of energy efficiency performance and improving awareness to build them. It includes their capacity to deal with climate change by leading the use and implementation of innovative technologies in the built environment. Comparing floating buildings with land-based buildings reveals several advantages including the use of renewable energy sources and embarks on developing new settlement planning. This paper presents a review of the principal features of floating buildings that have a direct impact on global energy supplies and alternative renewable energy sources. Development of floating buildings needs the implementation of new technology, social and community knowledge. The new knowledge and experience gained in floating buildings can lead to optimum future approaches. This paper presents guidelines for developing sustainability strategies or decision-making frameworks for offshore renewable energy facilities. It will analyze example projects built on the seas in relation to offshore wind energy, wave energy and photovoltaic cells. The development and assessment of sea energy sources should be considered as renewable energy source. It also provides new strategies and methods to reduce climate crisis regarding floating architecture and promoting offshore energies as renewable energy resources. This paper highlights the importance of relevance to floating buildings as strategies for adapting to climate change and clarifies that offshore renewable energy resource should be focused in the study of future sustainable development and energy efficiency targets.

In this work, a three-year wind data for some sites in Jordan was analyzed. Two sites showed highly promising potential. Both predicted more than 1.0 MWh/m2.y. This work modified the probability function of Weibull – Hiester and Pennel to produce more accurate potential speed values for the wind. Results showed that this modification enhanced energy potential by 30%. The interaction of wind turbine performance data with site wind data was then discussed. The yearly output energy of different machines was the objective function for an optimization process with rating velocity (Vr) as the main variable. The resulted optimum energy was found to depend on the two variables of the Wiebull function. Optimum Vr was found to range from 4.2 to 5.6 for the sites considered. The optimum Vr can be used as a selection parameter for the best suitable turbine.

The aim of this paper is to identify descriptive and quantitative features of conical domes to introduce geometry and proportion of their plans through analytic reviewing of case studies. Since geometry and proportion have been studied in conical domes, plans of conical domes need more attention in terms of geometry and proportion. Authors hypothesized that with introducing a new Ratio, analyzing geometry would be possible. This Ratio revealed nearly the value of √2 or √3 which is one of the most important Ratios in Islamic architecture. Authors have presented diagrams of superimposed squares and circles to suggest principles of designing with such Ratios. All kinds of plans whether circles or polygons can be designed based on these diagrams since circle is the basic geometry in Islamic architecture. Studying conical domes is important since studies show that their construction has lasted until Qajari era and may continue despite advances in other kinds of domes. Such studies strengthen the connection between past and present architecture of Iranian architecture.

Fire safety in crowded large halls [1-3] not fully protected by fire suppression or smoke exhaust systems should be reviewed. It should also be noted that the firefighting equipment and facilities in smaller cities are not adequate as in the more developed and richer cities. It was reported that even a small fire source was difficult to spot even by well-trained firemen at the International Airport in Chek Lap Kok in 1998 [7] even in the big city Hong Kong. Adequate fire safety must be provided in those large airport terminals [6,8-10].

This essay investigates the changing dynamics of interaction and paradigm of communication in the design studio. It analyses the process of practical implementation of interactive tools in architectural education which placed the diversity of students’ cultural experiences, contextual awareness and individual interests as crucial resource for design innovation and inquiry. Building on Brian Lawson’s thesis on creativity in design thinking, this research project undertook comprehensive investigation of students’ satisfaction of their roles in the studio and the room for liberal thought they are given to elaborate on genuine approach to architectural matters. The cyclical development of interactive learning strategy is explored through two different settings: first, it analyses architectural students’ position as passive/active in the studio, considering their relationships with tutors’ ideals; second, it reports on empirical strategy of students-led workshops at British schools of architecture, during which students have taken the lead of their creative design agenda. The practical implementation of interactive learning tools proved influential in helping students to personalize their design direction and to build a sense of confidence and independence.

Contemporary architecture is characterised by immense diversity of technical and technological solutions, in particular as regards aesthetics and composition. The moment we mastered the methods of safe erection of edifices, the problem of useable and aesthetic quality emerged. The composition quality control (CQC) is an original method of organising the issues related to deformation of architectural space by an analytical tool and it aims at analysing the space in the context of its designing and transformation. One may prove that space should be composed in a certain way for certain purposes and following certain pre-determined goals so that its form is not random. Composition is an extremely significant stage of creation – success of any project depends on the knowledge of its rules (on observing them or consciously violating them). Despite its vital role, composition is frequently marginalized and seen as a set of rigid, dead rules. This paper will argue that this is a misconception and the knowledge of theory is the key to conscious application of various elements of spatial composition and it helps in a truly creative process.
