Mruczek, Roland, and Maria Legut-Pintal. "Residential Towers of the Left-Bank Wrocław. An Unusual or a Forgotten Phenomenon in the Medieval Cityscape?" Biuletyn Historii Sztuki 86, no. 2 (June 28, 2024): 31–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.36744/bhs.1816.
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:
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:
Menara Base Transceiver Station (BTS) is a telecommunications station whose main function is to facilitate wireless communication between communication devices (clients) and network operators. BTS towers are usually built in densely populated residential areas, due to distributing telecommunications networks. Because it was built in a densely populated settlement, it is necessary to pay attention to the feasibility maintenance of the BTS tower. BTS tower maintenance is intended so that BTS towers can work optimally and reduce the risk of collapsing. The prototype will be made with several components, namely the MPU-6050 sensor, Arduino Uno and LCD. MPU-6050 to detect the tilt of the BTS tower. After 10 tests of pitch and roll angles, the prototype of the BTS tilt has an average error of 1.077 for pitch angle and 1.703 for roll angle. These results are still valid in monitoring the angle of inclination of the BTS

Abstract:
This paper investigates the residential towers of Block 10 in Vojvode Stepe Boulevard, Belgrade, Serbia. The two towers (buildings no. 39 and 40) were initially designed by Branko Aleksic in 1969 and re-designed three years later by Aleksic and his co-author, Stana Aleksic. Taking into account the housing policy of the day, the urban planning of the Boulevard and the role played by the towers? investor, association ?INPROS?, the paper approaches architects as intermediaries. The designers are understood as part of a network addressing Belgrade?s housing deficit, themselves navigating a tight creative space determined by forces operating beyond their control. At the same time, their work is recognized as bent on producing a distinct set of subjectivities, with each referring, individually, to a pattern of political organisation, consumer culture, gender, or class. The towers are thus probed for their capacity to act as a medium, both in themselves and as part of a larger whole.

Abstract:
Historycznie najwyższymi budynkami Nowego Jorku były budynki biurowe. Ich wysokość to jedna z głównych cech zabudowy na Manhattanie, a wypełniona strzelistymi budynkami sylweta miasta jest rozpoznawalna na całym świecie. W XXI wieku tę sylwetę tworzą także wieżowce mieszkalne. Autor poddaje analizie sytuację i ewolucję budynków mieszkalnych na Manhattanie – budowanych często w miejscach dawnych budynków biurowych. Z badań autora wysuwa się wniosek o istnieniu dwóch kierunków w zabudowie mieszkaniowej XXI wieku w Nowym Jorku. Trend funkcjonalny - polegający na pogłębiającej się hybrydyzacji funkcji oraz trend wysokości – ściśle związany z rozwijającymi się możliwościami technologicznymi, a często pogarszający dostęp do naturalnego nasłonecznienia niższych kondygnacji oraz przewietrzania. Autor, poddając analizie wybrane przykłady budynków, rozważa w jakiej relacji wobec siebie pozostają oba wątki architektoniczne oraz jaki mają wpływ na obraz i kompozycję miasta. New trajectories of Residential Tower Development on selected examples in Manhattan, New York Historically, the tallest buildings to be built in New York were office towers. Their height is one of the defining characteristics of Manhattan’s development, and the city’s skyline, filled with towering buildings, is recognisable all over the world. In the twenty-first century, this skyline is also formed by residential towers. We analysed the situation and evolution of housing buildings on Manhattan, buildings that are often built in place of former office buildings. Based on our research, we have observed the existence of two trajectories in the design of twenty-first-century housing in New York. The first is the functional trend and it is based on an increasing hybridisation of function. The second is the trend of height, which is closely linked with developing technological potential, and which often adversely affects access to insolation on lower storeys and to cross-ventilation. We analysed selected cases of buildings and discussed the relationships between these two architectural currents and their impact on the image and composition of the city.

Abstract:
Energy efficiency in high-density urban areas is increasingly gaining more attention as the energy crisis and environmental issues worsen. Urban morphology is an essential factor affecting the energy consumption and solar energy development potential of buildings. In response to the research gap of previous studies that only analyzed building energy consumption or solar energy potential from a single objective, this paper aims to combine the two objectives of block-scale building energy consumption and solar development potential to explore the joint influence of urban residential morphological elements on correlations between the two. By investigating and summarizing 100 sample cases of Wuhan city blocks, 30 urban residential block prototypes were constructed. The correlations between the leading morphological indicators of the blocks with the building energy consumption and solar energy potential of the residential prototypes were quantified, respectively. The study results show that at certain floor area ratios, the highest solar power generation can be achieved with a mixture of high-rise slabs and high-rise towers, but the building energy intensity level is relatively high; combining building energy consumption and solar power generation, the residential block form of high-rise towers and low-rise villas has incredible energy-saving potential. In addition, the regression analysis results show that three block form indicators, namely the roof-to-envelope area ratio, compacity, and site coverage, have the most prominent influence on building energy intensity and solar power generation, and they all show positive correlations. This study can provide suggestions for urban residential planners and managers to promote urban energy conservation at the design stage.

International Journal of Engineering & Technology 8, no. 4 (October 19, 2019): 454. http://dx.doi.org/10.14419/ijet.v8i4.29778.
Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to present an assessment of the noise impact of cooling equipment and determine if the noise levels comply with the permissible limits or not. Also, it presents two calculation methods to predict the acoustic performance of the cooling towers on a neighbor residential building. Comparison of the actual measurements vs. the predicted levels was carried out to select the appropriate calculation method to perform analysis for different noise reduction techniques and determines the best way to achieve the acceptable noise criteria. The results showed that the most effective methods for noise control are obtained by using variable frequency control for the cooling tower fans and lined plenum champers together or individual.

"Sustainable Architectural Design of the Residential Compound Towers in Aleppo City Using the Genetic Algorithm: التصميم المعماري المستدام للأبراج السكنية التراكبية في مدينة حلب باستخدام الخوارزمية الجينية." Journal of engineering sciences and information technology 5, no. 5 (December 30, 2021): 147–26. http://dx.doi.org/10.26389/ajsrp.r080621.
Abstract:
This research aims to find innovative design solution to create sustainable compound residential towers in Aleppo city, for the reconstruction phase, by using the concept of sustainability and benefiting from natural energy sources. International organizations and many countries are interested in applying sustainable architecture standards, reducing emissions, mitigating pollution, and reducing long- term operating costs for buildings by making the most of natural resources. Tower buildings are among the most important design models that have been subject to the concepts of sustainability and their applications, due to their consumption of large amounts of energy. This research presents a study of a sustainable design for a residential compound tower, for the reconstruction phase in Aleppo city, using the genetic algorithm within the Grasshopper program. The tower design Idea depends on developing and linking the basic design idea of the project with main design determinants such as dimensions, heights and other variables, including location and climatic characteristics, and then creating a barometric chart for these connections within the Grasshopper program. This chart links to the Galapagos tool, which is responsible for running the genetic algorithm. The random structure is generated when the algorithm started, and as a result of the cross- breeding, more advanced generations are created. The process continues to reach the most appropriate environmentally sustainable form to reduce the heat load acquired in summer. The model is evaluated environmentally using Ladybug simulation software, to provide solutions for modular residential towers that fit the local environment of Aleppo city. The results of the research showed that the solar heat load was reduced by adopting the genetic algorithm to find the most suitable configuration for the tower. The amount of reduction is 35% between the initial solutions and the final approved solution. The research also revealed that the use of green roofs reduces the heat load by 20%. The research also showed the effect of using shading facades. On the southern, western and eastern directions, the heat gain was reduced by 5%.

Abstract:
The widespread use of cell phones has led to cell phone towers being located in many communities. These towers, also called base stations, incorporate electronic equipment and antennas that receive and transmit radiofrequency signals. Along with the towers, used for TV and line of sight microwave communication, the proliferation of these base stations is having a detrimental effect on urban esthetics. It is highly recommended for developing urban areas to consider the problem of these unsightly towers as a form of visual pollution, which increases in parallel with the rise of human population density, and also, the possible electromagnetic field (EMF) hazard due to the existence of the cell phone towers in the residential areas. This paper presents the feasibility of using camouflaged cell phone towers to improve the quality of the urban environment. Cell phone towers disguised as trees might address the visual pollution, while, at the same time, might also mitigate the possible EMF hazard by installing these disguised towers in free spaces, rather than on the roof of buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. The feasibility of implementing such a scenario for a quality urban environment in Koya city is discussed.

Abstract:
Boutique fitness franchises have been popping up more often across the nation, and most high-rise residential towers include fitness centers located around and above residential spaces. When high impact exercise activities neighbor offices and residences, disturbances and complaints often follow suit. In this presentation, we look at the most common types of fitness spaces, from big name franchises to small scale fitness centers, in terms of their program of activities and severity of their impact, as well as what methods of noise and vibration mitigation are available and effective. Several case studies are presented.

"Integrated Value Model for Sustainable Assessment of Modular Residential Towers: Case Study: Ten Degrees Croydon and Apex House in London." Sustainability 16, no. 2 (January 5, 2024): 497. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su16020497.
Abstract:
Modular construction can become sustainable by making all aspects of the design and construction process more effective during all phases. This paper aims to develop and use a sustainability assessment model for modular residential buildings in two case studies. This research uses the Integrated Value Model for Sustainable Assessment (MIVES), which is a multi-criteria decision-making model for sustainability assessment. This model considers all aspects of sustainability, environmental, economic and social, and helps stakeholders make decisions. Few previous studies have assessed all these aspects in full and MIVES make this assessment possible. For assessment purposes, two modular buildings have been chosen, namely “Ten Degrees Croydon” as the tallest high-rise modular residential building in the world and “Apex House” as the second tallest modular building in the world, both in London. These residential towers were assessed using MIVES, demonstrating a very satisfactory sustainability index in all the above aspects.

Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 14, no. 3 (June 1, 2019): 1281. http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijeecs.v14.i3.pp1281-1285.
Abstract:
In this paper, the electromagnetic radiation of the mobile microwave signals, propagated by the mobile towers in Al-Door Residential Complex west of Iraq, is measured and evaluated. This complex contains main nodes and hub repeaters and feeders to transmit the service to the whole Salahuddin and the northern provinces. Therefore, this paper focused on this area to assess the radiation and to assess the radiation whether it is safe for humans or exceeded the dangerous level. The area has been divided on to 19 locations where there are mobile towers and the radiation is measured in these locations. The electric field intensity is unsafe and should be improved since it exceeds the level of 1.7 V/m. However, the magnetic field intensity is acceptable according to the measurements. In general, the electromagnetic radiation density is unsafe since many readings override the level of 1.3 μW/〖cm〗^2. The standards of the radiation severity are based on the recommendations of LATNEX Corp.

Abstract:
Abstract Starting with a brief review of different theories about the residential and defensive uses of Sardinian nuraghi (monumental stone towers), the author assesses their ritual significance and functions from the standpoint of architecture and design, similarities to other cult buildings, and associated features and finds. Evidence for cult activities in certain towers has grown in recent years and is widely accepted for the Iron Age (circa 950–700 BC) and later. By contrast, ritual practices are not often recognized for the much longer period of tower construction and usage in the Bronze Age (circa 1700–950 BC). This is attributable partly to the now dominant hypothesis of a transformation in the function and status of nuraghi in the Iron Age and an assumed separation between sacred and secular buildings in the nuragic period. The author challenges this perspective while discussing the contribution of ritual to the social, economic, and political uses of nuraghi in the Bronze Age.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to present four purposes: to assess occupant satisfaction with indoor environmental quality (IEQ); to determine if occupants appear to be operating their dwellings in an energy efficient manner; to suggest ways that occupant satisfaction and behaviour can help or hinder energy efficiency; and to show that the post-occupancy evaluation approach is an effective tool in diagnosing and improving satisfaction and energy efficiency in high-rise residential buildings. Design/methodology/approach – Beyond measuring occupant satisfaction with IEQ, this paper uses scores and user comments from occupant questionnaires to identify success and indicate frustration and/or confusion with particular building technologies. It also extrapolates the energy efficiency implications of these responses in four Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold residential towers. Findings – The research highlights where problems occur, particularly with the adoption of new technologies which may not be well understood by the occupants. It also identifies behaviour patterns that may negate energy efficiency strategies. Research limitations/implications – The lack of dwelling metre data prevents this research from making causal links between behaviours and their energy implications. Also, the lack of Canadian benchmarks for satisfaction of occupants means that comparisons can only be made to cases from the UK, which is less robust. Originality/value – This type of work has never been done in Canadian residential high rise towers before. It helps to better understand the process of ensuring that occupants successfully adopt innovation that can lead to energy savings.

Abstract:
When J. G. Ballard published his masterpiece High-Rise in 1975, many readers in London automatically identified the apartment building that is the protagonist of the dystopian novel as the infamous Trellick Tower at Kensal Town, certainly one of the most controversial and ambiguous figures of British architecture after World War II. Designed by Ernő Goldfinger, the tower, which had recently been completed, was already considered a symbol of the brutality of contemporary architecture, to the point of gaining the nickname ‘Tower of Terror’ coined by its own inhabitants. Actually, in public opinion the nearly twin sister of the earlier Balfron Tower at Poplar embodied all the ills of urban planning and of the housing policies of the post-war reconstruction. The large size of the project, the uniformity of its facades, the presence of bulky stairwells separated from the main volume, connected by elevated bridges and brandishing the big chimneys of the heating system, the complex apartment layouts on multiple levels, and the intensive use of fair-face reinforced concrete are the factors that shape the extraordinary character of this work of architecture, examined in a relatively small quantity of critical writings, despite the building’s widespread notoriety. The Balfron Tower, commissioned in 1963, and the Trellick Tower commissioned in 1966 have become, for better or worse, icons of British public housing policy, and today they are inseparable parts of the London cityscape. Critical analysis of the original project documents reveals how the typological and constructive reflections at the end of the 1960s had reached a level of extreme sophistication and quality, also in the development of large social housing complexes created for the urban proletariat. Thanks to their outstanding constructed quality and the efficacy of their residential typologies, the towers have stood up to the destructive fury of the last few decades, even becoming Grade II* listed buildings. In recent years, they have gone through a remarkable process of social and generational turnover, coveted as investment properties and involved in processes of real estate speculation.

"Proposing Alternative Solutions to Enhance Natural Ventilation Rates in Residential Buildings in the Cfa Climate Zone of Rasht." Sustainability 13, no. 2 (January 12, 2021): 679. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su13020679.
Abstract:
Today, renewable resources and the crucial role of passive strategies in energy efficiency in the building sector toward the sustainable development goals are more indispensable than ever. Natural ventilation has traditionally been considered as one of the most fundamental techniques to decrease energy usage by building dwellers and designers. The main purpose of the present study is to enhance the natural ventilation rates in an existing six-story residential building situated in the humid climate of Rasht during the summertime. On this basis, two types of ventilation systems, the Double-Skin Facade Twin Face System (DSF-TFS) and Single-Sided Wind Tower (SSWT), were simulated through DesignBuilder version 4.5. Then, two types of additional ventilation systems were proposed in order to accelerate the airflow, including four-sided as well as multi-opening wind towers. The wind foldable directions were at about 45 degrees (northwest to southeast). The simulation results show that SSWT could have a better performance than the aforementioned systems by about 38%. Therefore, the multi-opening system was able to enhance the ventilation rate by approximately 10% during the summertime.

Abstract:
Space efficiency is one of the most important design considerations in any tall building, in terms of making the project viable. This parameter becomes more critical in supertall (300 m+) residential towers, to make the project attractive by offering the maximum usage area for dwellers. This study analyzed the space efficiency in contemporary supertall residential buildings. Data was collected from 27 buildings, using a literature survey and a case study method, to examine space efficiency and the main architectural and structural design considerations affecting it. The results of this research highlighted that: (1) central core was the most common type of design parameter; (2) prismatic forms were the most preferred building forms; (3) the frequent use of reinforced concrete was identified, compared to steel and composite; (4) the most common structural system was an outriggered frame system; (5) the space efficiency decreased as the building height increased, in which core planning played a critical role; (6) when building form groups were compared among themselves, no significant difference was found between their effects on space efficiency, and similar results were valid for structural systems. It is believed that this study will help and direct architects in the design and implementation of supertall residential projects.

Abstract:
The Jump Factory is an innovative construction technique developed and implemented by Mace and consultants Davies Maguire to construct two residential towers in the East Village, London. This was in direct response to an industry shift towards offsite and modular construction, in order to address current and future challenges such as the housing crisis, labour shortages and construction’s carbon footprint. The intention was to replicate factory conditions on site, in order to construct the towers using modular and prefabricated elements, resulting in an improved programme, increased productivity and safety, and a reduction in the carbon footprint. The basic premise was to build a fully functioning factory, use the factory to construct a floor of the building, then once the floor was completed on a weekly cycle, jack the factory up and start again. This paper describes the structural form of the factory, its support system and weekly lift cycle. It highlights the level of coordination achieved throughout the off-site works and discusses the measured benefits to programme, quality control, safety and sustainability targets. It also discusses the lessons learned from the factory operation and how it could be optimised for further use.

Abstract:
Chinese cities are undergoing massive transformation. One after another, inner-city neighbourhoods of pre-1949 origin and work-unit compounds built in the socialist period are being torn apart, giving way to glossy office towers and luxurious condominiums. Millions of people have been uprooted and forced to be relocated. Mass media and research based on case studies generally convey a message of widespread grievance among the displaced residents. Based on a survey of 1200 households conducted in Shanghai in 2006, the present study provides a systematic account of the profiles of the displaced residents, juxtaposed against other resident groups of the city. The major conclusion is that, irrespective of all the criticisms concerning unregulated demolitions and forced evictions, the housing conditions of displaced residents are somewhat better than those of other Shanghai residents, both objectively and in terms of subjective evaluations.

Abstract:
In Japan, various government authorities and public housing corporations built a huge number of dwellings for rent to reconstruct war-damaged cities and to accommodate the high concentrations of population in urban areas in the mass-housing era between 1955 and 1973. Approximately 40% of all public residential buildings for rent in Japan were constructed in the latter mass-housing era (1965-1973). These are four- or five-story reinforced concrete buildings whose building frames are sufficiently strong to withstand several decades' more use but whose interior finishings and functional systems are deteriorating. Although these houses were originally designed for nuclear families, they are now considered too small to accommodate more than three residents. There is growing demand for renovation of deteriorating public residential buildings for rent. Dwelling units of such deteriorating buildings are often enlarged by constructing extensions or by removing sections of existing partition walls and installing new partition walls. In recent years, several local authorities have started to add new elevator towers to residential buildings for the increasing number of aged residents. We have studied these regeneration projects in detail by conducting questionnaires at 60 public housing corporations and hearing investigations at 6 corporations. This paper describes the actual status of the regeneration of deteriorating public multi-unit residential buildings for rent in Japan.

Abstract:
‘Sluisbuurt’ Amsterdam: world heritage and high-rise buildings On the northwestern part of the Zeeburgereiland, an island in the IJ, the municipality of Amsterdam is developing the Sluisbuurt quarter: a mixed-use neighbourhood with shops, offices, catering and education and no less than 5,500 residential units, some of which are high-rise. The Sluisbuurt soon proved controversial because of the visibility of the towers from the Amsterdam city centre and from the rural area around Waterland. In this article we discuss the planning and the history of the island.

Abstract:
Torres Blancas, the building designed by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza for the Huarte company, was built between 1964 and 1972. Its powerful sculptural form, the expressive use of bare concrete and its experimental nature make it an iconic example of Madrid’s architecture. Proposed as a vertical city with an organic emphasis, Torres Blancas is not the usual stack of flats, but a residential complex of independent housing units with garden terraces and the amenities of a small community. This building thus combines Le Corbusier’s unités d’habitation and Frank Lloyd Wright’s towers.

Abstract:
From earlier days to now for electric current transmission heavy voltage lines are commonly used but as number of residential people, societies, are increasing day by day so the installing and maintenance of that wiring system is tough task. This may cause many accidents in residential areas as well as roads, farms etc. and this may also cause death of persons. So to overcome from this situation Laser Based Technology is introduced and it looks like great advantage from last many decades. This technology used in several parts like Medical Sciences, Military, Industries and many more. The idea is to provide a laser based smart system to detect such conditions and send failure & alert signal to control station. The system consists, LASER and LDR based sensor array to check minimum clearance for overhead conductor. In any uncertain condition or accidental condition signal will sent by radio frequency. Complete system is based on Solar and it can be easily mount on electric towers.

Abstract:
The subject at hand is the technology of integrated use of secondary combustible and thermal energy resources of oil refining and petrochemicals for power supply and heat supply of industrial and residential urban areas. Currently, combustible secondary energy resources in petrochemicals in through hydrocarbon gases are burned in smokeless flares and technological candles without practical use in the electric and thermal energy industry. In the production of polyethylene, an average of 230 t/h of spent combustible gases is burned in a smokeless flare at an altitude of 105 m with useless dispersion of the resulting heat in the atmosphere. The heat of heated process water during cooling in cooling towers is uselessly dispersed in the atmosphere or leaves with contaminated spillways and non-return condensate into settling tanks without practical useful application. In the construction of new and the energy supply of existing industrial and residential facilities, there is a problem providing them with electric and thermal energy at low prices. The purpose of this study is to develop a technical solution on the technology of integrated use of secondary combustible and thermal energy resources of oil refining and petrochemicals for the electrical and thermal supply of industrial and residential urban areas.

Abstract:
Act No. 20 of 2011 on the towers to make the legal basis for vertical residential building whose ownership is shared objects, piece together and ground together. With Improved and national economic growth are positive also helped encourage and spur improve the provision of residential development condotel in several major cities in Indoenesia this happens because of the looseness of the Government's policy on the provision of building vertical form of the apartment plus more because of market demand and the people who continue to increase, especially for the middle to high society and it is believed Developer these conditions will continue to increase and grow as global developments that occurred in the decade as it is today. Thus the government, especially the Ministry of Housing (Kemenpera) must anticipate on these developments to immediately find a solution. Fulfillment of the housing needs in the form of building vertical shape of one of them can be done through the construction of residential apartments. Apartment development policy to be one attractive option to do both by government and private sector employers as the property as part of an urban housing development in the region, especially given the increasingly expensive and limited availability of land.

Abstract:
The acoustic level in the building is one of the critical design criteria for the privacy and comfort of occupants in the approach of salutogenic design. This attempt to study noise levels in Erbil residential high-rises is hardly described in the literature. This study focuses on the noise level in high-rise residential buildings in Erbil, Iraq. A comparison between two famous residential towers in Erbil has been achieved to evaluate the noise level and find the acoustical advantages and disadvantages in those buildings. Analysis of the plans, direct measurement of sound level, and questionnaire, have been applied as primary sources, for this purpose through five channels (outer and inner noise sources analysis, identifying direct sound transmission, indirect flanking sound transmission, perception of the occupants' noise level, and empirical noise level finding). Secondary sources such as books, magazines, and credible internet sources, have been used too. The results demonstrated that commonly, the occupants in both buildings are suffering from acoustical discomfort. However, the shape and form of the building, its location, and construction material can create advantages for one building on another in terms of acoustic results. the result of the current paper can help the designers to take a good design decisions in the future in the region of the study.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study we have resumed the problem of Neolithic settlements with a complex architecture (defense systems with ditches, palisades, towers, bastions; residential buildings; cult constructions; social constructions) which support the idea of a proto-urban organization since the PPN. We have analyzed current definitions of cities and fairs, which mainly reflect situations from classical antiquity and the Middle Ages, but they cannot be applied to prehistoric realities, which, according to interdisciplinary research, offer another perspective. We also believe that religion too has played an important part in these sites, some of them being real centers of worship.

Abstract:
Downtown Budapest residential properties from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, organized around inner courtyards, where historicism and free style are mixed with premodernism, socialist modernism and contemporary buildings. The older buildings are typically neglected, in need of renovation, especially the more palatial examples. The damaged roof on this building has been restored to its former splendour using contemporary construction methods, and a new "guest" floor slab, steel roof framing and improved living standards. Even still some of the more traditional elements, such as the timber framed towers, have been restored using traditional skills.

Abstract:
Abu Dhabi and Doha have evolved rapidly in the twentieth century due to the investment of oil and gas revenues. The fast economic growth resulted in an extensive period of urbanization. The various urban dynamics had a great impact with regards to new housing typologies during the last few decades. Doha’s housing market is studied in comparison with Abu Dhabi’s market considering their population growth rates, real estate market conditions, socio-cultural characteristics, and political approaches. The study is focused on the period from 2004 to 2013 where rapid urban development took place in both cities. The comparative assessment is based on three key aspects: housing typologies, housing distribution, in addition to housing supply and demand. The paper highlights that the urban growth in both cities is initiated via government investments, especially in the real estate market. This is reflected in the case of very similar housing dynamics in both cities. A gradual replacement of low-rise residential villas by high-rise residential towers (apartments/ penthouses) is currently observed in both cities.

Abstract:
Introduction: Mobile communications developed into an integral component of our daily life. The growing demand for mobile communication services in Kuala Nerus has seen an increase in the installation of base station towers (BST) in residential areas, as well as near schools, and hospitals. Kuala Nerus was selected as a study location because it is a newly developed district in Terengganu, hence, it is crucial to perform electromagnetic radiation (EMR) measurements in the early stages. Objective/aim: This study aimed to measure the RF EMR exposure level in residential areas in Kuala Nerus by measuring the strength of its electric field (EF) strength and power density (PD) value while comparing it with the ICNIRP’s standard guidelines. Materials and methods: Measurements were made using NARDA NBM 550, connected to a probe that could detect frequencies from 100kHz to 6GHz. The data collection period for each point was approximately 6 minutes during daytime. Results: Average radiation levels in terms of EF strength at all locations were found to vary between 0.26 (V/m) to 3.35 (V/m) (PD value about 0.02 µW/cm² to 2.97 µW/cm²). The highest level was measured at Surau Kg Pok Tuyu, which was 5.48% or 18 times lower than the MCMC exposure limit for public areas. Conclusion: The RF value obtained does not exceed the standard limit, which in turn contributes indirectly to health monitoring initiatives for public NIR exposure. This study found that exposure levels in selected BSTs in residential areas in Kuala Nerus were within the standard guideline limits.

Abstract:
High-rise residential timber buildings (≥8 stories) are an emerging and promising domain, primarily owing to their capacity to deliver notable environmental and economic benefits over the entire span of their existence. However, it is worth noting that the current body of scholarly work falls short in providing a thorough examination of the key aspects related to architectural and structural design for these environmentally sustainable towers. In an effort to bridge this knowledge gap and deepen our comprehension of the evolving worldwide trends, this research delved into data collected from 55 case studies conducted across the globe. The primary findings unveiled the following: (1) Europe, particularly Nordic countries, stood out as the region boasting the highest number of high-rise residential timber buildings, with North America and the United Kingdom following suit; (2) central cores were the prevailing choice for the core configuration, with the peripheral type following as the second most common option; (3) prismatic forms were the most commonly favored design choices; (4) widespread prevalence of employing pure timber was observed, followed by timber and concrete composite combinations; and (5) structural systems were predominantly characterized by the utilization of shear walled frame and shear wall systems. This research aims to reveal the current attributes of high-rise residential timber buildings, with the expectation that it will offer architects valuable knowledge to assist and steer them in planning and implementing forthcoming sustainable projects within this domain.

Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 30, no. 2 (May 1, 2023): 643. http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijeecs.v30.i2.pp643-650.
Abstract:
Studies have shown that high-voltage power transmission lines emit electromagnetic radiation, which has adverse effects on human health. This paper presents the effects of parameter adjustment on the electric and magnetic fields of an overhead power transmission line model at human height. A finite element software, COMSOL multiphysics, was used to simulate the electric and magnetic fields. The electric and magnetic fields generated by the 1200-kV and 220-kV overhead power transmission line models were first computed and the models were validated by comparing the simulation results with those of previous studies. Numbers of parameter were adjusted in order to investigate their effects on the electric and magnetic field distributions. Based on the results, the electric field intensity increases with an increase in the voltage of the conductors. The magnetic field density increases with an increase in the current carried by the conductors. A voltage of 700 kV results in an electricity field intensity that exceeds the residential safety limit (50 kV/m) set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Hence, a proper right-of-way is needed to ensure that residential areas are at a safe distance away from transmission towers.

Abstract:
Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) consist of hydrocarbons obtained by refining crude oil, either from propane or butane or a mixture of the two. There are often other components such as propylene, butylene or other hydrocarbons, but they are not the main component. The study aims to review previous studies dealing with designing an LPG system to deliver gas to residential campuses and buildings. LPG is extracted from natural gas NG by several processes, passing through fractionation towers and then pressuring into CNG storage tanks. Gas contains several problems, including gas leakage through the pipes and leads to fires or explosions in LPG storage and distribution tanks, so safety conditions were taken in the design and implementation. The major results are the gas leak detector showed that rapid response to gas leakage sense, so it is recommended to place the device at a distance of 0.6-2 meters from the gas source and at a distance of 0.2 to 1 meter above the ground, and the major conclusion is new techniques for using hardware and software components must be demonstrated again that can be applied to models to show fast and effective results.

Abstract:
<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br />The 22nd Presidential Decree of 2006 on the coordination of Housing Development Planning in Urban Area (PPRSKP Coordination Team) has turned the existence of a terraced house (vertical housing) into a housing solution for the over population in big cities. Simple flats (RUSUNA), according to the government is measures by 18 m2, 25 m2 and 36 m2. Ownership of this unit will not automatically in the tax subsidies by the government and the developer. This is in accordance with the regulations of Government Regulation No.31 of 2007, provides consumers with a VAT exemption on certain conditions.<br />Government of DKI Jakarta during the time of governor Jokowi had a program of development of the Flats as an effort to fulfill the housing needs of the people who inhabited the slums of Jakarta. As many of the towers with adequately spaced units are<br />very limited, they don't comply with the minimum necessities for a single family. Therefore, it is necessary to further research on the space of residential units in this Flat. This study will look at the extent of the influence of relationships between activity<br />and unit size. Does the size of residential units in the towers are in accordance with the needs of users, of which the majority are lower middle class people who are married and have children? With a hybrid of qualitative and quantitative research methods,<br />researchers conducted observations and data collection on simple towers of residential units in the area of Tanah Abang, Tebet and Kalibata. Results of the analysis showed that it can be concluded that some of the size of each room in a residential unit towers built in the 80s, 90s and 2000s already fulfilled the<br />standards of housing needs, but some of them don't. Results of this study was proposed to be practical reference that can be used as a guide by the Jakarta City Administration and the Department of Public Works (MPW), the developer of flats in Indonesia and the general public in need.<br /><br /></p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong><br />Keputusan Presiden No.22 Tahun 2006 tentang koordinasi Perencanaan Pembangunan Rumah di Kawasan Perkotaan (Tim Koordinasi PPRSKP) membuat keberadaan rumah bertingkat (vertical housing) menjadi solusi bagi pemenuhan perumahan penduduk di kota besar. Rumah Susun Sederhana (RUSUNA) menurut pemerintah adalah berukuran 18 m2, 25 m2, dan 36 m2. Kepemilikan unit ini otomatis tidak akan di subsidi pajaknya oleh pemerintah dan pihak pengembang. Hal ini sesuai dengan peraturan Peraturan Pemerintah No.31 Tahun 2007, berisi pembebasan PPN pada konsumen dengan syarat-syarat tertentu. Pemerintahan DKI Jakarta di masa gubernur Jokowi memiliki program pembangunan Rumah Susun sebagai upaya pemenuhan kebutuhan perumahan rakyat. Kelak penghuninya adalah masyarakat dari daerah kumuh di Jakarta, karena banyak dari Rusun yang ada besaran luas unitnya sangat terbatas, tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan minimal untuk satu keluarga sederhana. Perlu diadakan penelitian lebih mendalam tentang besar luasan unit hunian Rusun ini. Dalam penelitian dilihat sejauh mana pengaruh hubungan aktifitas dengan besar unit hunian. Apakah ukuran unit hunian di rusun sudah sesuai dengan kebutuhan penggunanya, yang mayoritas adalah<br />masyarakat kelas menengah bawah yang sudah berkeluarga dan memiliki anak. Dengan metode penelitian campuran antara kualitatif dengan kuantitatif peneliti melakukan observasi dan pendataan terhadap unit hunian rusun sederhana di wilayah Tanah Abang, Tebet dan Kalibata.

Nethercote, Megan. "Melbourne’s vertical expansion and the political economies of high-rise residential development." Urban Studies 56, no. 16 (January 31, 2019): 3394–414. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0042098018817225.
Abstract:
This article advances understandings of Melbourne’s dramatic vertical expansion over the last decade by attending to the political economies of its high-rise housing development. Melbourne’s major high-rise development in the wake of the financial crisis represents a radical yet poorly understood departure from the city’s traditional patterns of suburban development. This article applies an existing conceptual framework for residential vertical urbanisation informed by heterodox political economy and critical geography. Drawing on secondary sources supplemented by supply-side stakeholder perspectives, the analysis shows how Melbourne’s high-rise development assisted in syphoning significant investor capital into the city. This not only expanded the local housing stock but, in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis and later, amid ongoing economic uncertainty, Melbourne’s high-rise construction served both economic and geopolitical/symbolic functions in the city’s ongoing inter-urban competition for hyper mobile flows of capital and highly-skilled workers. Large apartment projects fuelled the Victorian economy and filled state coffers through property-related revenue. Meanwhile, the city’s dramatic vertical expansion helped project a powerful image of Melbourne around the world. Its crane-filled skyline heralded a thriving economy, and its new thicket of towers rendered a striking impression of urbane high-density living. Together these representations helped promote Melbourne as a vibrant, desirable place to live, work, and invest. Looking beyond the planning failures and planning politics identified in planners’ critiques of Melbourne’s vertical expansion, this article showcases the state’s considerable stakes in this development, and its role in smoothing the way for this expansion to occur.
