Tabriz and especially the Sorkhab quarter, one of the historical quarters in Tabriz, Iran contains many valuable Qajarid houses. The current research is about studying the architectural characteristics of Qajarid houses in Tabriz to present conservation and revitalization plans for better adaptive reuse of these valued cultural heritage buildings. For this purpose, the house of Mirza Mehdi Farrashbashi who was one of the sons-in-law of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar has been chosen as a sample to be studied. Although it is important to conserve this house because of its architectural values and its beautiful ornaments, its adaptive reuse can also be useful for the preservation of the cultural heritage of East Azarbaijan, Tabriz in Iran. After studying the architectural values of this beautiful Qajarid house and its ornaments, the process of conservation and revitalization of it has been comprehensively explained throughout the current research for its adaptive reuse.
大不里士,尤其是Sorkhab区,大不里士的历史街区之一,伊朗有许多有价值的卡扎里德房屋。目前的研究是关于研究大不里士卡扎里德房屋的建筑特点,提出保护和振兴计划,以便更好地适应再利用这些有价值的文化遗产建筑。为此,选择了Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar的女婿之一Mirza Mehdi Farrashbashi的房子作为研究样本。虽然由于其建筑价值和美丽的装饰,保护这座房子很重要,但它的适应性再利用也可以用于保护伊朗大不里士东阿扎尔拜扬的文化遗产。在研究了这座美丽的卡贾里德住宅及其装饰的建筑价值之后,在目前的适应性再利用研究中,对其保护和复兴的过程进行了全面的解释。

Due to increase in population density in cities, unplanned urbanization, where built areas proliferate and concrete and Due to the decline in open and green spaces in cities, designers have a higher responsibility in the design of these spaces and the furniture that would be utilized in these spaces. The furniture should not only be functional or ergonomic, but also aesthetic and original in these spaces. Thus, it is important to provide furniture that resemble nature or are part of the nature for urban residents instead of designing routine and ordinary spaces. Therefore, the furniture designed by 9 students with biomorphic design approach in senior class Landscape Design and Construction Course studio at Afyon Kocatepe University, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design during the 2019-2020 academic year spring term.

The increasing challenges of enhancing public health for communities and managing stressful daily life style raised the call for finding new methods to reduce stress. The research problem is the lack of sufficient data investigating the impact of different characteristics and forms of gardens in terms of stress reduction and restoration benefits. Therefore, the aim of this study is identifying the restorative effects of biophilic design elements in Egyptian gardens. It investigates the main indicators for applying biophilic urbanism in different gardens and how to enhance it to achieve stress restoration for communities. The presented study followed a methodology that comprises three parts. First an integrative literature review for biophilic urbanism and biophilia application to achieve restorative design. Then identifying the likely relationship between biophilia and restorativeness. Finally, a case study research design approach for selected Egyptian gardens which are analysed in reference to concluded relationship and perceived restorativenss. The work points out the potential and effective incorporation of applying biophilic principles in Egypt to achieve stress restoration.

Nowadays, as some buildings differ from the others, known as local or traditional architecture; creates proximity to the modern building systems, we are used to today are called, vernacular architecture. We also called the similar style of building design, architecture without architects or rural architecture. Modern architectural buildings have changed the way of life, have aimed to a better living condition. In the recent history, we have experienced disasters like earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis, landslides. The ruins have emerged health and safety regulation changes in the policies. The emergence of the health and safety in the building life as the prime aim, closeness to the environment degradation have created theoretical concepts of ecological building styles and how local traditions have answered the emergency. In this study, it is studied the differences between countries how the cultural practices juxtaposed or override the modern technologies.

The increasing amount of waste tyres worldwide made its disposal a significant problem. Because of this, the availability of a market for the tyres became imperative. Incidentally, this market was found in the housing sector where recycled waste tyres were used as stabilized laterite composite for alternative building material. This study evaluated the environmental effects of the recycled waste tyres as a composite of stabilized laterite for buildings. It also evaluated the cost effects of the stabilized laterite composite. The study concludes that the stabilized laterite composite is a cost-effective alternative building material and that it reduces the level of greenhouse gasses. Other relevant issues were also discussed.

Obtaining a home in Syria has been an equivalent to a strategic goal around which the life of the Syrian citizen revolves. Housing was one of the problematic crises before the war, which accelerated due to the war. Moreover, this turned into a humanitarian disaster, and the situation has become more urgent and requires immediate treatment. The solution of this demolition is not limited to an easy rebuilding and needs a more sustainable and qualified policy in order to prevent to turn back to the existing crisis before the war. This paper focuses on finding an appropriate strategy to respond to the housing crisis in Syria in the light of successful implementations of social housing. In order to achieve that, after a literature review of the general context of social housing, the Singapore social housing experience has been analyzed. Considering the housing problems and implementations in Syria (before and after the war) in a comparative evaluation with the Singapore experience, some strategies have been suggested, along with discussing the transfer of this experience to the Syrian context. Although applying a social housing system in a country that has had a failed experiment is not an easy task, the study proposes a list of recommendations for developing a social housing strategy based on a clear legal framework which also provides a base for social housing. In addition to defining all the criteria related to social housing, such as the target groups, the type of housing, the available financing methods, and focusing on urban planning and architecture for the importance of their role in creating a peaceful coexistence in the conflicting societies.

The old seaside city of Hammam-lif has undergone several changes since its creation. The urban sprawl is no longer possible since the city reached its limits. This study focuses on urban evolution through different city’s plans. It refers to different bibliographic references. The comparison between old and recent photos illustrates these changes. The city has maintained its urban form but has undergone various changes in functions and density. There have been the introduction of new functions, especially those relating to the tertiary sector. The renewal of old buildings is characterized by the change in their height, which has become more important. These factors lead to a crowded city, with problems of congestion and parking. This study demonstrates one of the problems the city suffers from: the loss of its rich urban and architectural heritage, especially with the problems of safeguarding its two main architectural monuments: “Le Casino” and the beylical palace.

The aim of this study is to understand what was changed in a Levantine mansion in the Buca district of Izmir, from its construction date to now. Since the construction date is 1876, the study is scoped into a 150 years period in time. The data collection method includes photographic documentation and laser measurements. The evaluation method is comparative analysis to relate the common properties of Levantine houses with the plan typology and the traces in the building. A short periodization and descriptions of each space have been made. The mansion had not experienced radical changes, even if there were handovers in the property ownership. However, it can be analysed by considering small differences. In conclusion, the building is periodized in three-time slices as the 1. Period in the years between 1876 – 1890 / 1895, the 2. Period between 1895 – 1960's and the 3. Period from the 1960s to now. Keywords: Buca Houses, Levantine House, Levantine Mansions, Levantine Culture, 19. Century Izmir Houses.

Some coastal landscapes have become places of abandonment of boats at the end of their life. A growing phenomenon that affects many geographical areas, local communities, terrestrial and aquatic areas. The proposed theme is an investigation on the contemporary nature of coastal places and of the nautical wrecks abandoned in them as part of a landscape and intercultural research in progress based on relationships, interconnections, interspecific and spatial correspondences between natural environments, actions human and new life cycles (Life Cycle Assessment) in a post-pandemic scenario. Impaired coasts and boats can be transformed into landscapes and goods regenerated to new life for the near bio-centric future.

Urban space is composed of various dimensions and contexts that generate urban forms. The spatial distributions of urban elements have different layers of connotative indications associated with Society's shared knowledge. The implying semiotics affect space configuration that could lead either to generate a compact or sprawl urban fabric. However, it is essential to know how the semiotic elements affect space configuration. The research aims to locate semiotic elements that have a role in space configuration. The research methodology depends on finding the semiotic values through a practical survey combined with a GIS tool to locate the correlations between the most valuable signs using the chi-square method. Also, to build a model for assessing the cognitive semiotic elements. The model gives a clue to explain how the spatial configuration is affected by the existence of semiotic values and shifts its values accordingly.
