Abstract:
The growing interest in biomimicry in built environments highlights the awareness raised among designers on the potentials nature offers to human and system function improvements. Biomimicry has been widely utilized in advanced material technology. However, its potential in sustainable architecture and construction has yet to be discussed in depth. Thus, this study offers a comprehensive review of the use of biomimicry in architecture and structural engineering. It also reviews the methods in which biomimicry assists in achieving efficient, sustainable built environments. The first part of this review paper introduces the concept of biomimicry historically and practically, discusses the use of biomimicry in design and architecture, provides a comprehensive overview of the potential and benefits of biomimicry in architecture, and explores how biomimicry can be utilized in building envelops. Then, in the second part, the integration of biomimicry in structural engineering and construction is thoroughly explained through several case studies. Finally, biomimicry in architectural and structural design of built environments in creating climate-sensitive and energy-efficient design is explained.

Abstract:
This article addresses architects, planners, and developers but should also interest any other professionals involved in the creation of the built environment. It begins by stating that the built environment is principally made up of buildings and groupings of buildings. Therefore, architecture and urban design are the major focus of the article. Definitions of architecture are then presented from a variety of authors and architects. An argument is made that there actually is a missing dimension in the built environment illustrated by quotations from architects, architectural theorists, amid critics. It becomes evident that architecture is unable to satisfy the emotional and aesthetic needs of people and also that the profession itself, which admits that modern architecture has created bleak and insensitive environments, is in profound disagreement on how to rectify the situation. Under the heading “Architecture–The Object” arguments for and against different architectural movements or stylistic tendencies are highlighted by quotations from the proponents of tile various styles and theories. A similar approach is taken for cities under the heading “Urban Design–The Juxtaposition of Objects.” The fact that something is missing from architectural and city design is concluded, and examples of a preoccupation for the spiritual aspect of architecture and urban design are used to illustrate this growing concern for a dimension that has been much neglected in tile previous several decades. The notion of “spiritual” is then defined, followed by a list of spiritual qualities. Two important principles, unity in diversity and consultation are discussed before presenting some concluding thoughts on how the designers of the built environment can begin finding ways of infusing their designs with a spiritual dimension.

Abstract:
This research intends to the understanding of organicism as the historic source of architectural forms. Organic architecture acts as a junction between humans and nature, where humans are seen as parts of nature. Through organicism as an apparatus, designers are able to respond to nature in such manner that humans are more intimately bound into the entirety of nature to form an organic whole. A new term “enviro-organic” is proposed in this research. Enviro-organic form extends prior definitions of organic architecture, which are of greater relevance today. Such form is defined as one that opens to the natural world, facilitating the making of architecture that sustains human life and nature today and in the future.

Abstract:
In the history of the built environments theoretical development, the architecture, city and landscape have all been considered as language. Differing from subjects and scholars, various built environment languages have existed, durably or ephemerally. Some stressed the structure of languages and extracted the built environment dictionaries; some emphasized the linguistic characteristics of language and compiled the built environment grammar. They are all great achievements in built environment theory; however, since the connatural difference between the tangible buildings and the intangible spoken & written languages, this concept - the built environment languages - are still esoteric and intricate for the public. Facing this problem, this research intends to probe an integrated built environment language and to uncover the essence and mechanism of the built environment language. Undoubtedly, a comprehensive literature review is the foundation before any further development. Through careful study about both the structural linguistics - semiology system and previous built environment language studies, it is conspicuous that a universal built environment linguistics framework can be established referring to the knowledge of structural linguistics and semiology. Hereinto, firstly the built environment can be looked as a 'langage' that contains the corresponding 'langue' and 'parole' then other binary linguistic concepts, including the "signifier & signified"‚ "isologic sign & non-isologic sign", "syntagmatic axis & systematic axis" and "synchronic aspect & diachronic aspect", can be introduced into this new field. Therefore, based on this framework, not only can the essence and mechanism of built environment linguistics be explained, but also all the previous studies about the languages of architecture, urban planning and landscape can be seamlessly embedded inside. After the theoretical analysis, a discreetly designed simulation test is prepared to verify the practicability of built environment linguistics. Its results can then provide strong support from pragmatic dimension. Finally, the foundation of a theory of universal built environment linguistics can be achieved, but to be same as all other scientific researches, what is completed here is just a beginning rather than an end.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1991.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-134).
This thesis is about exploring a way of understanding, designing and building architecture which acknowledges that we are a part of a world which is always changing and becoming, without denying or forgetting the past, and still fulfilling the needs and potentials of the present. It is about continuing the collective understanding of how we relate to an evolving built environment. Current trends in commercial architecture tend to build neutral spaces which are then sold as a commodity to be filled with whatever use the consumer desires, rather than building for specific needs as they are required. This has contributed to a lack of definition in the cumulative built environment which has reduced the information available as a reference for evaluating and interpreting one's surroundings in ways which enrich and further its potential use. What I am proposing to explore are some issues of design that respond to a specific site, which will be able to meet the long-term concerns of growth and/or change in use and technology, while providing a referential continuity; a continuity in the understanding of how a building and its surroundings have evolved. As change is an inevitable fact of existence, designing with that as a goal is redundant and leads only to an undefined, passive building as opposed to a more specific definition which positively influences how it is inhabited. The analysis of existing buildings which have been renovated generates some basic principles about the qualities which seem to endow a structure with the capacity to be reinterpreted without losing its initial character in the existing environment. These principles will then be applied to the design of a new building as an illustration of how buildings which are not designed for the possibility of multiple inhabitations over time, need not be neutral in their organization, but may actually contribute substantially to their surroundings and their interpretation.

Abstract:
The present study hypothesized that (1) perception of the built environment is organized around a prototype, the notion extensively studied by Rosch and others, and, (2) judgement of attractiveness of the built environment is influenced by that structure. 37 subjects rated prototypicality of 51 slides of houses and an independent sample of 33 subjects rated attractiveness of the same slide set. Results showed that people perceived some residential houses as more prototypical than others. Also a significant correlation between prototype rating and attractiveness rating was found. People found the high level prototypicality most attractive, as opposed to the low prototypicality stimuli. It was also found that the residential prototype could be identified by physical features.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (p. 70-71).
Usurping Architecture is a study in three parts. Part One explores the historical and theoretical basis that has informed my body of work. In this section, I explore the perfection of the depiction of the three-dimensional structure on a two-dimensional plane. This is specifically related to architecture. I then examine the role of geometric abstraction, as developed on the two-dimensional format, in sculptural strategies and their insertion in the lived, everyday environment.The role of geometric formalism is expanded on in the chapters on minimal art, where I explore the role of Gestalt psychology in creating a phenomenological response in the viewer. In the following chapters I indicate how the strategies employed by the minimal artists were used in subsequent decades as a response to the architectural environment. Part Two deals with the methodology related to my art-making processes. The first chapter of this section informs the reader about the general use of concrete as a material. The second chapter explains how I use this material in the construction of cast concrete sculptures. It describes the technical aspects of the process in detail. Part Three comprises a list of each work submitted for examination. The works are represented photographically and are accompanied by a short explanatory text.

Abstract:
Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, February, 2020
Cataloged from student-submitted thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-47).
Humans are increasingly disconnected from nature. Urbanization, resource exploitation, and changes in ways of living have diminished people's access to nature. Exposure to nature is beneficial to human beings in many aspects. Researches in environmental psychology and public health have shown the positive impacts of nature connections for people's happiness, concentration, and restoration. In creating the living environment with the connectedness to nature, various researches have been invested, such as the study of green space in the living environment, the application of virtual nature in psychiatric and medical care, the implementation of natural scenery in augmented reality. However, the idea of imitating natural phenomena in the built environment via tangible building systems has not been explored yet. This thesis aims to provide people with the perception of connectedness to nature in the built environment by embedding the sensory experience of nature, Komorebi, in the building system. Komorebi is a Japanese term that describes the dappled sunlight filtered through tree foliage. Through analysis of this visual effect and experimenting with various materials and actuators, a daylight-filtering system is developed to bring the dappled light phenomenon into the built environment. Environmental performance simulations of the Komorebi system is conducted in comparison with no-shading and the Venitian blind. The system builds on the existing infrastructure to integrate elements of improvisational nature into the building system, creating natural sensory experiences in the built environment. In practice, it would have great potential at places where natural connections are limited, and relinking occupants to nature would be highly beneficial. The impact of this work includes 1) creating a port for people who have limited access to nature due to work demand or mobility limitation, 2) invoking people's memories in nature, and encouraging more exposure to nature.

Abstract:
Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone Project
In the United States, commercial rooftops are too often an afterthought, serving only to house HVAC systems and other utilitarian building components. Rooftops are the most underutilized valuable spaces in buildings. They comprise a great deal of real estate that could help boost a building’s energy efficiency, aesthetics, and even the wellness of occupants. Buildings are the leading contributors to energy consumption in the country, and implementing green roofs could significantly mitigate this energy use, so costly to society in so many ways. This proposal studies the benefits of implementing a green roof on the College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) in Tucson, Arizona. Extensive research was conducted on the implementation of a green roof in this hot arid region, as well as a survey among a pool of 50 occupants. The conclusions drawn: a green roof would be utilized by occupants, and would bring about benefits including cleaner air, an expanded roof lifespan, and reduced heat island effect. Conclusions also demonstrate that the cost of implementing a green roof might not be offset by energy savings alone, but when considering the benefits and costs to society, a green roof ultimately proves beneficial economically as well.

Abstract:
This paper discusses possibilities afforded by an integrative approach in which overlapping of intelligence, material capabilities, and social and ecological issues inspires an entirely new approach to designing resilience through adaptability. The ability to regulate behavior and adapt to the demands of a situation has always been associated with living organisms. This capacity to adapt is what defines resilience in nature. A technologically augmented built environment can often adapt to changes in its environment, but this adaptivity is often prescribed. If resilience is the capacity to recover from a disturbance and a traumatic event, how is then resilience manifested within a technologically enhanced setting? How do we design resilience into our engineered ecologies? How is this manifested in the design context where boundary between self developing and externally designed is increasingly blurred?

Full text
Abstract:
This paper endeavors to measure the consistency of a decision-making tool, popularly known as Best Worst Method (BWM), which is one of the latest developments in multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). BWM is finding a vast arra of applications in the literature. Several investigators have extended this tool. BWM measures the weight of decision-making criterion and is recognized as a subjective decision tool. The first step in this method is to find the best and worst criterion, while we suppose several experts are asked to present their evaluation over set of criteria. The aim is to measure how these judgments are consistent and reliable. So, we statistically (using χ2 distribution) add a pre-evaluation to experts’ opinion and analyze whether the agreement of experts’ opinions is satisfactory and group opinion is established. This action improves the quality of the decision-making process by incorporating the reliability evaluation of experts’ idea. This extension for BWM helps decision makers in facilitating and getting results that are more consistent for criteria evaluation. We present examples in sustainable construction and architecture project.

Abstract:
Simply understood as ‘seeking opportunities out of crises’, resilience seems to be a universal approach to cope with contemporary global challenges, such as changing climate, rapid urbanisation, loss of biodiversity, migrations, etc. As a majority of the current problems are of urban origin – i.e. they emerge in cities, where they also cause significant consequences on people, ecosystems and infrastructures, it is a city and its territorial sub-elements (district, neighbourhood, site, and building) that provide a prolific field for exploring the mechanisms towards resilient governance, planning and design. Under such an overarching agenda of urban resilience, in this paper, we focus on exploring the components of architectural and urban design as a tool for mitigating climate change. More precisely, as carbon dioxide emitted from the built environment is released into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate, we explore the design patterns that help reduce CO2 emissions to finally lessen the vulnerability index of urban systems. Scrutinising the relationship between the climate change and construction industry, we elucidate the concepts like sustainable construction, green buildings, and design for climate, among others. Finally, through the assessment of the adaptive reuse project in London, this paper identifies strategies of sustainable architectural and urban design aimed at curbing the effects of climate change and helping increase urban resilience.
