Abstract:
In this study, we have taken on the subject of medieval residential towers in the chartered city of Wrocław. We discuss residential towers and tower houses that have been identified through archaeological/architectural, historical and iconographic research. The location of these towers in the city is associated with areas occupied by the elites of knightly and bourgeois origin, concentrated in the vicinity of the Market Square and the main roads leading from it. The model of residential towers can be found among the oldest masonry buildings from the 13th century and at the threshold of the early modern period, as evidenced by bourgeois constructions from the 16th century. It has been demonstrated that tower buildings could be associated with the foundations of the bourgeoisie, thus drawing inspiration from patterns known from Italy and Germany, serving as a means of emphasising the status of the founder. City-wall towers could also serve residential purposes; however, they did not possess the attributes of prestige.

Abstract:
Among the constituent elements of the Kilia stone fortress, which guarded the eponymous Danube portcity from the end of the XV century to the end of the XVIII century, there were the entrance gates (First Great Gates, Second Great Gates, Small Gates, Greek Gates, Guild Gates, Water Gates, etc.), the towers (Arsenal Tower, Agha Tower, Armory Tower, Commander Tower, Lighthouse Tower, Bloody Tower, Prison Tower, Tower of Gedik Akhmet Pasha, Maiden Tower, Moor Tower, Elephant Tower, Wool Tower, Mountain Tower, Millet Tower, Red Tower, Flat Tower, Cracked Tower, Biscuit Tower, etc.), courtyards (“civil courtyard”, “middle courtyard”, “garrison courtyard”, “commander courtyard” or “citadel courtyard”), curtains, artillery terraces, defensive ditches, as well as internal auxiliary buildings (residential houses, barracks, a cult object, a bathhouse, etc.). The gates were located in towers or stone curtains. The towers adjoined the walls (corner and intermediate) or advanced towards the enemy. Movable machicoulis or hoardings were used as vertical flanking elements. In the Kilia stone fortress there were hollow towers and “half-towers”. Depending on the shape of the plan, the towers could be square, rectangular, round, polygonal, D-shaped and with a complex plan ones.

Abstract:
High-rise timber residential towers (≥eight-stories) represent a burgeoning and auspicious sector, predominantly due to their capability to provide significant ecological and financial advantages throughout their lifecycle. Like numerous other building types, spatial optimization in high-rise timber residential structures stands as a pivotal design factor essential for project viability. Presently, there exists no comprehensive investigation on space efficiency in such towers. This study analyzed data from 51 case studies to enhance understanding of the design considerations influencing space efficiency in high-rise timber residential towers. Key findings included (1) the average space efficiency within the examined cases was recorded at 83%, exhibiting variances ranging from 70% to 93% across different cases, (2) the average percentage of core area to gross floor area (GFA) was calculated at 10%, demonstrating fluctuations within the range of 4% to 21% across diverse scenarios, and (3) no notable distinction was observed in the effect of various core planning strategies on spatial efficiency when properly designed, and similar conclusions were drawn regarding building forms and structural materials. This research will aid in formulating design guidelines tailored for various stakeholders such as architectural designers involved in high-rise residential timber building developments.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present a new skyscraper typology which has developed over the recent years – super-tall and slender, needle-like residential towers. This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced structural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.

Abstract:
Cihampelas Street Bandung is one of the main tourist destinations in Bandung; besides that, Cihampelas is also a residential area with a high population density. Jalan Cihampelas has many residential places, one of which is the Jardin Cihampelas Apartment. The Jardin Cihampelas Apartment is a building consisting of 4 building towers, namely towers A, B, C, and D. Each tower has 23 floors, and a U shape, Tower A - B and C - D are located close to each other on the inside of the "U" shaped mass surrounding the swimming pool. The approach used is geometry, and basic shapes, geometry, and basic shapes show that architecture is an expression of humans and is a basic principle always present from a work of architecture. This research aims to study the relationship between geometric shapes that affect the Jardin Cihampelas apartment building mass. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method using field surveys; the research study is the shape of the building mass in geometric shapes. The research variables discussed include basic form, unity, proportion, balance, rhythm, and emphasis. This research is expected to get useful results from studying the mass shape of the building in the Jardin Cihampelas apartment with the residential typology of tall buildings with geometric shapes in the processing of space in structures.

Abstract:
Purpose. Research and analysis of the main approaches to the renovation of tower-type industrial buildings, establishing a connection between the geometric space and the functional-spatial zoning of the premises created on their basis. Methodology. The study is devoted to one of the groups of neglected engineering structures, such as water towers. Such industrial facilities are already embedded in the infrastructure of the city, as a rule, they are embedded in dense urban development, which adds leverage for the preservation and renovation of such facilities. During the reconstruction of tower-type industrial buildings, there are problems of dismantling, removal and disposal of a large volume of structures and building materials. Study of national and international experience in renovation of tower-type industrial buildings. According to the requirements of DBN V.2.2-15:2019 "Buildings and structures. Residential buildings. Basic provisions" to the areas of the premises in a residential building, their placement in the space of the tower is analyzed in the process of designing the floors of the tower. Findings. The possibility of renovating the tower-type industrial structure of the water tower of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology into a residential building was considered. The architectural design of a 3-story residential building with the arrangement of separate entrances to the building with the help of an elevator and stairs and the distribution of spaces by floor according to functional purpose was completed. Originality. For the first time, the concept of a volume-planning solution for apartments in the limited space of a water tower was developed. This example gives impetus to the development of the reconstruction of tower-type buildings, their preservation as a historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine. Practical value. Water towers that are no longer used for their primary purpose can be reconstructed and can replenish the housing stock, acquire the significance of cultural and public centers in cities and settlements.

Abstract:
Abstract: As the population increases tremendously the horizontal space in urban areas are insufficient to construct a building so it is very essential to go for vertical construction. In this research The 11 storey gate type twin tower reinforced concrete frame building having the top three floors horizontally connected is analyzed by using finite element modeling software. By using linear static and dynamic analysis, the seismic responses are computed and compared for various models such as twin towers without any connection, twin towers with one-way connection, and a gate-type twin tower structure with the top three floors connected. It examines storey drift, displacement, and base shear in seismic zone III on medium soil. The results finds that structural responses to the gate building show both decreases and slight increases when compare to without connected buildings. So By connecting twin tower buildings, not only is an innovative architectural design achieved, but a roadway between the towers can also be provided., In addition, the horizontal space at the top floors after connecting the towers can also be used for residential, commercial, and office accommodation purposes.

Abstract:
We present empirical results for the e?ect on residential property values from the construction of high voltage transmission towers on an existing utility right of way. The event window consists of a period of two and a half years during which non-operational 500 kV towers were in place, after which they were taken down. When comparing the proximate transactions within the window to those outside, relative to the same di?erence for distant transactions, we ?nd a negative e?ect on valuation during the presence of the towers, which is most signi?cant for encumbered and abutting properties, and vanishes quickly with distance from the right of way or nearest tower. An event window that corresponds to widespread public knowledge of the pending construction leads to an insigni?cant effect, which suggests that the price formation process is possibly inefficient.

Abstract:
High-rise residential tower is an inevitable and prevalent building type in high-density areas such as China. Because of the large population such buildings accommodate, improving the quality of people's lives in these towers has significant meaning. One of the important problems in such environments is the loss of identity of individual homes. This occurs because living spaces cannot fit individual families' unique and changing physical and spiritual needs. People can identify their lives and express their individual values in their homes in only the most meager ways. Consequently, people and their communities suffer deeply for the loss of identity of individual homes.The first focus of this thesis is to bring the question of individual control into light with the issue of identity of individual homes. Identity of any built environment results from the interplay of both shared values and individual values. In an identifiable and accommodating environment, both value sets should be in balance, over time. In high-rise residential towers, individual values are hardly presented because of the lack of individual control. So the radical way to establish identity of individual homes is to enable individual control in the building process.The second focus of this thesis is a study in architectural design of the distribution of control in such high-rise environments. Two kinds of individual controls are assumed and distributed: the control of the dwelling layouts and the control of dwelling unit facades. To enable these tow configurations of parts to be subject to individual control, propositions for setting up a new balance between centrally controlled parts and individually controlled parts in high-rise residential towers are put forward.To demonstrate these propositions, a specific high-rise residential tower in Beijing is redesigned to the solution of technical problems, regulatory issues and conventions when control is distributed. Individual control of both the dwelling layouts and the facades are simulated in a methodical way.Finally, notes about supportive products and management techniques, broader developments in other types of high-rise buildings, and the cultivation of shared values out of individual values are offered.

Abstract:
This study investigates the performance of a wind tower in contemporary medium-density residential structures in subtropical Sydney, Australia. Wind towers have been a traditional residential and commercial natural ventilation system for more than three thousand years in Persia and neighbouring countries. Wind-induced ventilation offsets solar gain by cooling the building structure and improving occupant comfort in warm to hot weather by increasing indoor air movement. As Australian metropolitan cities increasingly tend towards medium-density apartment-style housing, urban canyons are created where pollution and noise result in a heavy dependence on air conditioning behind sealed windows. Concerns about climate change and global warming also support the introduction of a natural ventilation system to provide occupant comfort and reduce cooling load. This four-phase study evaluates wind tower natural ventilation using wind-driven indoor air movement for occupant comfort. First, a sealed scale model of a typical residential apartment incorporating a wind tower was tested within a boundary layer wind tunnel under three urban context scenarios, assessing the effects of windward obstructions on the external pressure distribution over the building model and the associated wind tower. A large number of internal and external geometrical configurations of wind tower were analysed leading to an optimised wind tower design. In the second phase, this design was exposed to Sydney’s contemporary meteorological data to assess its applicability in the Sydney climate. The third phase of study quantified comfort performance of a wind tower for the six warmest months of the year. In the fourth phase, the cumulative total improvement in indoor comfort temperatures was applied in an energy calculation procedure to predict the potential of wind tower ventilation to reduce electricity demand and carbon emission. The results indicated that, in ambient temperatures of 23°C and above, the optimised wind tower in the most conservative scenario increased indoor air speeds at average 0.4 m/s and improved indoor comfort by 4935 degree hours (ΣΔSET*) compared to the default design relying on through-window ventilation. The wind tower produced an average cooling potential (ΔSET*) of 3°C and decreased cooling loads by 25 kWh/m2/y.

Abstract:
Depuis les années 2000, l’accélération de la construction de tours dans les métropoles suscite de nouveaux questionnements sur la dimensionnalité de l’urbanisation, c’est-à-dire sur les changements qu’induisent les évolutions urbaines dans la manière d’être positionné, de se positionner et donner du sens à son positionnement dans l’environnement urbain. La thèse y contribue à travers l’analyse des relations entre conditions de production et d’habitation des tours, postes d’observation du stade actuel du « dimensionnement urbain ». La perspective épistémologique et mésologique du « dimensionnement urbain » propose dans la première partie une réponse au lien entre l’intensification de la production des tours dans le monde, la reconsidération de l’habiter en hauteur et le « tournant dimensionnel » des urban studies. Elle oriente l’hypothèse principale de la recherche doctorale : la dimension, en tant que schème archétypal de perception et d’action des sociétés, s’exprime aujourd’hui préférentiellement à celui de la mesure dans l’évolution des stratégies d’extension de l’accès au monde en hauteur. À partir du cas français puis lyonnais, et grâce à des matériaux variés (base de données, documents marketing/communication, entretiens acteurs/habitants, photographie), je démontre dans la deuxième partie la relation entre l’accroissement de la densité métropolitaine et la valorisation de l’habiter en hauteur. Conséquence de la densification et de l’intensification des métropoles, le désir croissant de skyline réside ainsi dans les conditions de possibilité finalement idéales d’une extraction vis-à-vis du sol urbain
Since the 2000s, the acceleration in the construction of high-rise buildings in metropolises has raised new questions about the dimensionality of urbanization, i.e. the changes induced by urban developments in the way we are positioned, how we position ourselves and how we give meaning to our positioning in the urban environment. The thesis contributes to this through an analysis of the relationships between the conditions of production and habitation of high-rise buildings, the observation posts of the current stage of "urban dimensioning". In the first part, the epistemological and mesological perspective of "urban dimensioning" offers a response to the link between the intensification of high-rise production worldwide, the reconsideration of high-rise living and the "dimensional turn" of urban studies. It guides the main hypothesis of the doctoral research: dimension, as an archetypal scheme of perception and action of societies, is expressed today preferentially to that of measure in the evolution of strategies for extending access to the world at height. Based on the case of France and then Lyon, and using a variety of materials (database, marketing/communication documents, interviews with actors/residents, photography), I demonstrate in the second part the relationship between increasing metropolitan density and the valorization of living at heights. As a consequence of the densification and intensification of metropolises, the growing desire for skylines lies in the ultimately ideal conditions of possibility for extraction from the urban soil

Abstract:
With the nature of exploring and less awareness of danger, furniture at home has been causing various kinds of child injury all over the world. Furniture tipping over is one emerging cause among children under 6 years old. Despite of the importance of child safety, it lacks evidence about people’s perceptions of child safety towards residential furniture. Hence, this thesis used the theory of consumer behaviour to identify factors that can potentially effect perceptions and applied quantitative and qualitative methods to find out perceived importance of child safety when people buy furniture and how people perceive child safety in a given case. It has been found that people perceive child safety much less important when buying furniture not specifically for children. Some factors, such as age, income have influence on it. In the given case of chest of drawers, when perceived to be more likely to tip over, people are more willing to anchor a chest of drawers. It has also found that a three-row and shallow type has mixed perceptions. When the weight of a chest is perceived to be more important, people agree more on the statement that a heavier chest of drawers is less likely to tip over. Although anchoring is considered to be an efficient way of preventing tipping over, results showed that it is not a preferred way for most people. Further study is needed to find out other ways. Information of child safety is welcomed by most of the people. More research can be done to find out effective ways of displaying child safety information.

Abstract:
Since about 2010, a number of so-called supertall residential towers have arisen in Manhattan, puncturing the skyline. Referred to as pencil towers for their tall, skinny profile, these buildings represent the pinnacle of a contemporary form of architectural excess, a virtuosic expression of the financial machinations of the super-rich. They are also reliant on excessive carbon expenditures – tall, sealed buildings that cannot be lived in without mechanical heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. What is especially suggestive, in the context of solarity, are the precise terms of that excess. Luxury and exclusivity are expressed in height, in proximity to the sun. And yet, the mechanical capacity to reach that height is served by a dramatic increase in mechanical conditioning derived carbon emissions. In this sense, the towers express, at least in a schematic, diagrammatic fashion, a more general condition: how concepts of value and innovation are caught up in the priorities of capital, making them difficult to align with the capacity for solar liberation. The essay reads these towers through the energy imaginaries of Gibson, Ghosh, and Bacigalupi, offering a counter model for how innovation in architecture can be and can resonates more equitably across social and ecological conditions.

AbstractIn this study, we evaluated the premium rent of refurbished apartment houses in Greater Tokyo. We found that as a residential building’s age increased, the premium rent decreased. Male tenants in the age group of 20–30 years showed the highest willingness to pay (WTP). In addition, a high degree of residential satisfaction and the sense of expense toward rent had negative effects on the WTP toward premium rent.

Abstract:
<p>Reinforced concrete shearwall structure has been widely used in high-rise and super high-rise residential towers because of its high stiffness, high damping, low cost and good adaptability of component layout. Shearwall structure assembly are composed of shearwall limbs and coupling beam component. The shearwall is generally arranged along the vertical height, the lower part extends into the basement, and finally supports on the foundation. In addition, due to the needs of the entrance hall at the bottom of the residential tower or commercial functions, some shearwall assembly are often converted into frame structures at the bottom of the building, which is called frame-supported shearwall assembly. The structural system composed of full-height shearwall is called full-height shearwall structure, and the structural system composed of partial full-height shearwall and partial frame-supported shearwall is called partial frame-supported shearwall structure. The shearwall structure component need to consider both vertical gravity and lateral load to design the strength, stiffness and comfort of the structure. This paper studies the design of shearwall component of residential towers with a height of 100-200 meters, and adopts sensitivity analysis method to analyze the control indexes of components with different heights and positions. It is found that the design of low-zone components is usually controlled by the requirements of seismic ductility, while that of middle-zone components is usually controlled by the requirements of stiffness under earthquake or wind loads. High-zone components are usually controlled by structural requirements. On the basis of sensitivity analysis, this paper further discusses the design optimization method and flow of shearwall assembly. Finally, the sensitivity analysis and optimization design methods are discussed based on a real case of residential tower. The case analysis and optimization results verify the effectiveness of the relevant analysis and design methods.</p>

Abstract:
The research aims to analyze and the statement the impact of establishing communication towers on the sale of residential real estate prices in the Sulaimaniyah city center. The goal of government regulation should be including regulations and environmental safety laws to protect citizens from the harmful and adverse effects of secreted by a human through the additions and changes of the environment. One aspect of the protection of the citizen is to be protected from adverse health effects resulting from communication towers. People have the right to choose the nature of the physical environment, as others should not impose it. The problem of communication towers considered as one of the main problems that have imposed on the people in Sulaimaniyah city center, which began to take a severe economic, social and health dimensions, affects the decision-making process in the real estate market. Moreover, consequently, this research analyzes the impact of the establishment of communication towers on the sale prices of residential property in Sulaimaniyah city center, the results of the research have confirmed a clear and adverse effect the communication towers on residential real estate prices in Sulaimaniyah city center. Besides the proof of this an excess of supply of real estate close to communication towers areas and the lack of demand for real estate in areas close to communication towers. Finally, the research commanded a range of important recommendations, such as necessity control the communication towers at the level of governments and companies, either at the companies’ level by choosing towers with low environmental impacts. Moreover, either at the government level to determine the location and conditions of the establishment of the communication towers, through legislation and laws of environmental protection and impose fees and raise awareness.

Abstract:
In 1968, the Housing Commission, Victoria, built a series of high-rise towers in response to an identified metropolitan planning issue: urban sprawl and the outward growth of metropolitan Melbourne. This “solution” precipitated a crisis in urban identity. The construction of the first of a series of these modern high-rise towers at Debney Park Estate, Carlton and Park Towers, South Melbourne displaced significant immigrant communities. This became the impetus for the formation of Residential Associations who perceived this project a major threat to existing cultural values pertaining to social and built heritage. This paper examines the extremely polarising events and the positions of both the Housing Commission and the Residential Associations over the course of fifteen years from 1968. The research is grounded in an historical review of government papers and statements surrounding the social housing towers, as well as scholarly articles, including information gathered by Renate Howe and the Urban Activists Project (UAP, 2003-2004). The historical review contextualises the dramatically vocal and well-publicised positions of the Residential Associations and the Housing Commission by reference to the wider social circumstances and the views of displaced community groups. Looking beyond the drama of the heated debate sparked by this crisis, the paper exposes nuances within the positions, investigates the specifics of the lesser known opinions of displaced residents and seeks to re-evaluate the influence of the towers on the establishment of an inner urban community identity.

Abstract:
<p>For over-track residential towers in metro depots, distinctive layer heights and structural systems arise due to reasons including architectural function and process. This results in the formation of a stiffness transformation at the base of the structure. In order to meet the stiffness ratio requirements, neglecting the use of optimization design methods may lead to large dimensions of components and high utilization of materials. This paper firstly summarizes the lateral stiffness optimization design methods for over-track residential towers in metro depots. Then a practical engineering case is given to illustrate how to use this method in practical engineering. The case study demonstrates that changing the structural system of the over-track, layer height correction and column bracing can make it easier to meet the stiffness ratio requirements at the base, thus improving architectural function and saving cost.</p>

Abstract:
<p>The all-steel structure has the advantages of small size and small number of vertical components, and the all-steel structure can realize more spacious apartment types and flexible building space. The steel structure members of the all-steel residential tower need to the use of paint or other methods to meet the requirements of safety, durability and aesthetics. In the aspect of safety, the fire-resistant time of steel structure members is improved by fire-resistant coating. Based on the engineering background of the all-steel residential tower, this paper discusses several reasonable and feasible alternatives of the integrated coating system for steel structure members, and further expounds the selection of the coating scheme and the main design points. At the end of the paper, a 100m and a 150m all-steel residential tower are taken as examples to introduce how to apply the integrated thinking to the selection and design of the coating system, indicating that the integrated coating design can better meet the safety, durability and aesthetic requirements of the all-steel residential tower structural system.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Fluid viscous dampers can be utilized to control structural vibration as well as to meet the requirements of structural stiffness and strength under both wind and seismic excitations. As they can operate with a wide range of excitation frequencies, a double-excitation vibration mitigation system is introduced. Moreover, various deformation amplification devices, double dampers configurations, and fluid viscous damper parameters are comprehensively analyzed for the system selection for wind and seismic excitations. Using the sensitivity analysis method, structural optimization with the proposed system is demonstrated in the case study of a tall steel residential building.</p>

Abstract:
Like most of its peers, Detroit’s history is filled with standard plays: large-scale urban renewal, highway expansion, redlining, racial restrictive covenants, and widespread single-family zoning.1 There is perhaps no greater compounding injustice in Detroit than the construction of I-375 that occurred in the areas known as Black Bottom and Paradise Valley. Once home to over 140,000 people, the immediate area is now a major 8-lane highway interchange with two distinct tales of residential redevelopment on either side.2 To the East, blanketed in tree-cover and punctuated by squared hedges, a private residential community called Lafayette Park features a mix of rental apartments and signature glass-and-steel townhouses designed by Mies van der Rohe. To the West, an empty and overgrown field where the Brewster-Douglass Housing Projects once stood. Brewster- Douglass was the physical antithesis to Lafayette Park as a cluster of six identical 15-story, brick-clad towers with small punched- windows towering over the highway.

Abstract:
Population aging is a global phenomenon that has presented capacity and resource challenges for providing supportive care environments for older people in later life (Bone et al., 2018, Finucane et al., 2019). Aging-in-place was introduced as a policy driver for creating supportive environmental and social care to enable individuals to live independently at home and in the community for as long as possible. Recently, there has been a move towards offering care for people with a terminal illness at home and in the community (Shepperd et al., 2016); and when appropriate, to die in supportive, home-like environments such as care homes (Wada et al., 2020). Aging-in-place principles can, thus and, should be extended to enabling supportive, home-like environments at the end-of-life. Yet, first, we must consider the appropriateness, availability and diversity of options for community-based palliative and end-of-life care (PEoLC), in order to optimise supports for older people who are dying at home or within long-term/residential care environments. Globally, across places with similar health and social care systems and service models such as in Scotland and in Canada, community-based PEoLC options are currently not uniformly available. Given that people entering into long-term/residential care homes are increasingly closer to the end of life, there is now an even greater demand for PEoLC provision in residential facilities (Kinley et al., 2017). Although most reported deaths occur within an inpatient hospital setting (50%), the proportion of overall deaths in a care home setting is projected to increase from 18% to 22.5% (Finucane et al, 2019). This suggests that long-term/residential care homes are to become the most common place of death by 2040, evidencing the need to develop and sustain appropriate and compassionate PEoLC to support those who are able to die at home and those living in residential care facilities (Bone et al., 2018; Finucane et al., 2019). This research initiative is premised on the notion that aging in place matters throughout the life-course, including at the end-of-life and that the socio-environmental aspects of care homes need to enable this.
