Transformable elements of all different types have become increasingly utilized in architecture in order to respond to varying building conditions. Adaptive strategies and geometries found in nature have inspired a need for buildings to respond to the changing environments in their immediate context. In today’s realm of environmental awareness, transformable architecture has the ability to respond to environmental conditions, and in turn increase the efficiency, occupant comfort and energy consumption of building systems. This paper discusses different movements, mechanisms and applicationsof transformable architecture, specifically foldable systems using pantographic elements. Case studies have been examined and evaluated in order to develop a final façade system with the ability to control the penetration of sunlight to a building under variable conditions. Sunlight can enable the passive heating of space, but may be detrimental and increase cooling loads and occupant discomfort through the summer months. In order to reduce the consumption of energy throughout the year, an occupant or computer controlled transformable façade system, like the one proposed, can be utilized. The proposed design seeks to emulate the adaptive nature of plants and animals when it comes to being light sensitive or light responsive. This shading system, when applied to buildings, will attempt to provide a solution which can help buildings become more transformable, and ultimately, more efficient. Despite of many transformable proposals, this four-panel shading system is to transform itself responsively and is able to function not only in fully open configuration but also in various stages of deployment. The proposed design not only provides occupants with natural lighting conditions or protection from solar glare, it optimizes solar heat gain through the heating season or mitigates it throughout the cooling season, satisfying both the energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Most of the designer’s use of inspiration sources for problem solving and majority of themapply nature as inspiration sources, but these sources cannot restricted to only bio-inspiration sources.Because of the complexity and multi-aspect features of design, they can use of different methods ofovercoming this complexity. This paper introduces and develops a new method for architectural designthat has been called “adaptation” which is rooted in literature and textual sources. This method focuseson text-inspired sources such as novels, poetry, plays, historical stories and so on which have beenconverted to design media. To gain an in-depth understanding of the applicability of adaptation, a casestudy (Martha’s Vineyard designed by Steven Holl) is discussed to reveal the process of inspiration inthe form of adaptation. The adaptation method can be used to reshape other types of art media into newforms. The results show that the adaptation method is an innovative approach by which designers canreform remarkable and archetypical works into new presentations. It is believed that the other kinds oflocal-related arts and textual sources of a nation can serve as a platform for adaptation. Additionally, thismethod enables the designers to regenerate the valuable and up-to-date ideas in new forms. Also thismethod is a try to lead the designers for representing the various ideas with different outputs. Finally, inorder to develop the adaptation as a design method, a conceptual model is provided for future study toestablish a framework in the field and identify types of adaptation.

Nature and quality of “cities”, in general, and “Islamic cities”, in particular, in religiousschools are the origin of some broad topics. Therefore, by resorting to religious texts on the one handand a more comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of historical cities on the other hand,we can define new horizons within the framework of Islamic-Iranian cities. Targeted developmentand future image of a city will be only possible if an understanding of the quality of the future city isclarified. Strategies are several ways to achieve goals and visions of a city, among which the best onesshould be selected and taken as core strategies of the plan. to achieve goals and visions of a city, thedesignated strategies should be executed. In other words, it should be clearly specified in the plan ofurban development strategy that which person or organization will conduct the project and with whichkinds of resources. The aim of this study is to develop a strategic planning framework for the Islamic-Iranian cities. The present article is an inter-religious study; its strategy is interpretive. The method isbased on the accuracy of the contents and tips of religious texts using the method of content analysis. Itsstrategic approach is based on heuristic approach. The results of this research include the development ofIslamic values in Iranian cities through some theoretical bases; visions and missions of the study involvea statement on the values of Islamic- Iranian cities. Regarding to the value statement and the strategicplanning process, the main and the consequential objectives of realization of the Islamic- Iranian citiesare to be proposed.

As buildings are the biggest consumers of energy, reducing the total energy consumption inthis area may have a significant role in preserving non-renewable resources. Appropriate use of daylightmay decrease the need for electric lighting which may lead to reduced energy consumption and costs inlighting. Moreover, in the Iranian traditional architecture, there have been various passive strategies totake advantage of the renewable resources to provide thermal and visual comfort for users. Using daylightis one of these methods and strategies. The present study aims at analyzing the lighting condition of thesebuildings. Therefore, four buildings in Qazvin city, which belong to Qajar period (1785-7925 A.D.), wereselected as the case studies. Then, the elected buildings were simulated as three-dimensional models.Finally, the analysis of daylight factor and illuminance was conducted using Ecotect Analysis, EnergyPlus and VELUX Daylight Visualizer Software. After the analysis of data obtained from the respectivesimulations and their comparison with the extant standards of lighting, it was found that the averagedaylight factor at all under-scrutiny rooms was acceptable; in addition, 76 percent of rooms requiredno artificial light during the daytime. The reason for appropriate lighting in these spaces is positioningalongside the sunlit side of the building as well as use of big windows. In addition, the analysis ofilluminance shows that the distribution of light in interior spaces is even. Moreover, although muchamount of light enters the space, the use of light color prevents contrast and daze while enhances visualcomfort.

Each society provides the suitable context for the development and progress by means ofresearching; because research shows strength and weakness, desirability and undesirability, effective andineffective factors and so on. Nowadays, the design and maintenance of green spaces in urban areas isone of the fundamental strategies which is adopted by city planners in order to provide human’s healthby means of organized connection to nature. In a neighborhood full of multi-storey buildings, existenceof public parks and green spaces provides the suitable solution to man’s relationship with nature, in thisway the physical and mental health of man will be provided. Architects, landscape designers and urbanplanners have reached some conclusions about the nature of human’s thoughts and behaviors by studyingspeculative philosophy and behavioral science. On the other hand, architecture, landscape and urbandesign theories in recent years indicate that designers and people’s beliefs about the ideal environmentare different. Many environments where have been considered appropriate by designers, had been boringand dead and without respect to human from users’ perspectives. Therefore, it is important to assesspeople’s opinions about the quality of environment. The research was based on qualitative method usingthe approach of casual-comparative to investigate the factors which effect on residents’ satisfaction inShafagh Park. The sample size is consisted of 60 local residents who are frequent users of the parkand most of them have lived near the park for many years. The influences of physical, natural, sociopsychologicalfactors and utility service factor on satisfaction were asked of all respondents. Finally, theLikert scale was used to obtain residents’ satisfaction level. According to findings, physical factor, naturalfactor and socio-psychological factor have been effective in increasing the satisfaction level, but utilityservice factor has little impact on the satisfaction.

Selection of appropriate method and developing models and writing new rules for dataanalysis in an architectural project in order to achieve the design idea are some of the factors that influencethe course of the design process. If the design is based on philosophical theories and phenomenologicalapproach, perceptions and senses and at the same time, deals with the issue of conversion of phenomenonto matter, there will be a need for a process that is designed, new and responsive to the issues of thedesign. In this regard, the cognition and selection of method and selected techniques is done accordingto the new models, but on the basis of the documentation and basic information related to the principaltheories. The design process will be based on several main parts and specific subgroups. The purpose ofthis study is to evaluate two main parts of the process and design approach. These two parts and the roleof each in the design process with a phenomenology approach has been analyzed and reviewed. Andfinally, the operation of one of the strategic techniques in the design process with a phenomenology viewcalled “mapping technique” is considered. As a result of this study, a model for the design process withphenomenology approach has been presented, the main basis of which is dealing directly with phenomena.

By the beginning of the third millennium, environment has become an issue of globalimportance. Changes arising from globalization has led to the formation of concerns that have inevitablybeen effective in the field of urban planning /design. New paradigms pertaining to urban policieshave become pervasive all over the world, ignorant of the country’s local context. Lack of attentionto contextual compliance underlying some of these paradigms have caused extremes in some casesthat intensifies local-global dualities. This is especially evident in developing countries: there areoccasionally some proposals to employ international architectural consulting services with innovative/new approaches to design or plan for large cities with great local backgrounds. In these circumstances,the adaptability of international planning/design paradigms to local context is highlighted as a point ofconcern. In this research, firstly, ‘contextualism’ is reviewed as a theory underlying urban development.Secondly, three recent international urban development paradigms: New Urbanism, Urban Villages andUrban Renaissance and the adaptability of their proposed solutions to urban context will be analyzed. Ananalytical method for comparative research is used to describe the main ideas of research. In each section,with an overview of the most important related literature, a multi-step process and logical reasoning,the strategies of each paradigm are compared within a model (multiple dimensions of urban design). Tocompare the adaptability of strategies to the context, ‘contextualism’ conceptual framework has beenutilized. It is concluded that each paradigm has more emphasis on a specific dimension of contextualismwhich traces back to specific economic, political, cultural circumstances from which that paradigm hasbeen originated. Thus, when applying an international planning/design paradigm to a new environment, itwill bring about practical changes only if it is calibrated to the local area’s context initially.

A northern open space (NOS) is built in some residential buildings to enhance daylightperformance of indoor spaces which do not access to yard or other open spaces. Compliant with the urbanstandards of Iran, NOS must be partitioned from the adjoining yard by a tall wall. Economically, forincreasing the usable residential area, the NOS width is often limited to the minimum of urban standards.A typical residential building located in the densely-built Mardavich area was selected as a case. Thispaper, using daylight simulation, calculates and compares the impact of two variables on the illuminancelevel of indoor spaces: the NOS width and the angle of NOS southern wall. For this end, the illuminancelevels of the indoor space were measured and at different conditions: three widths of NOS (2, 3, and 4m) with the vertical southern wall, minimum width of NOS (2 m) with four tilted southern walls (5, 10,15, and 20 degree). The daylight simulation at winter solstice was conducted for estimating the minimumdaylight level and the daylight simulation at summer solstice was conducted for predicting the potentialglare. The results of this study show that tilting the southern wall of NOS (facing to indoor space),allocating a smaller area to the NOS, increases the total usable space area of residential buildings andimproves its daylight performance; Based on these results, this paper recommends a novel strategy forarchitects to enhance the daylight performance of NOS by creating semi- funnel shape for NOS.

From the beginning of the urban history, the public realm has been the territory of thesociable people and has had diversity of form in different situations. The public urban space, which hasa prominent historical background, is not exclusive for an extreme activity or specific form: but, it is thepresence of the human being that not merely gives the meaning and identity to the urban spaces, but alsoprovides some functional aspect for it. The communal rituals which play an important and crucial role ineveryone’s social life, for the most part, happen in the public urban spaces which are regarded as people’spublic territory. However, recently, the public spaces that were special for communal rituals are adverselyaffected by technology and numerous corollaries of modern life. Accordingly, the research is going tospell out the contemporary urban places bonded to communal rituals. In the first step of this research,some sundry types of contemporary public spaces and some diverse ritual activities are presented. Thenext step is about introducing some striking and telling rituals of world and their related urban spaces. Themethodology used in the research is a combination of observational-descriptive method and qualitativecontent analysis. The most important resources of this research are existing documents which have writtenin term of the main topic or have published recently about it. Finally, taken as a whole, the most profoundrituals of the worldwide are recognized based on contemporary urban spaces and analyzed according tourban framework factors affecting the mentioned rituals.

When a designer is dealing with organizing urban blocks in designation of districts inthe projects of urban design (particularly ground preparation plans), there are numerous guidelines andpatterns for the order of blocks from different views such as energy, efficiency, permeability, security,social interaction, etc. However, there is no guideline and pattern available to the designer regarding theorder of blocks from the perspective of environmental perception. A designer, facing organization of theorder of urban blocks, does not have access to required comments from the environmental perspective andhas no idea about which kind of order is appropriate for the blocks from this perspective. According to thedefined problem, the question arises that which type of order (simple or complex) is more appropriate inthe process of designing a district and from the perspective of environmental perception. Has Mardavijdistrict, with its simple order, acquired functionality from the perspective of environmental perception,or is this functionality more highlighted in Khaneh Esfahan district, with its complex order? To reach ananswer for the research question, thorough examination has to be done so as to which one of the abovementioneddistricts has provided the required perceptions for a district. Therefore, this study is aimed atidentification of proper order for the purpose of designing a district from the perspective of environmentalperception of 2 districts, namely Khaneh Esfahan and Mardavij, by utilizing descriptive-analysis method,and with the help of using cognitive map drawing technique as well as interviewing inhabitants of bothdistricts. The conclusion was reached that Khaneh Esfahan district, with its complex order, featuresconcepts such as coziness, calm, and friendliness; and therefore, this complex order is more appropriatefor a district from the perspective of environmental perception.

It is crucial to improve the quality of life in marginalized areas, which are the result ofunequal urban and regional development and include many problems and shortcomings in terms ofinhabitants’ satisfaction of life. This study is aiming to utilize the existing capacities and capabilities ofthe region and to improve the quality of life in the town using development stimulus projects throughdescriptive- analytic investigation of quality of life’s current indicators in Dizaj town of Hamedan. Thestatistical society of the study includes all the population of Dizaj town and according to Morgan table351 of them were selected for the sample. It has used literature review for the theoretical framework andmultivariate regression method to evaluate the quality of life in the neighborhood. In addition, Pearsoncorrelation coefficient has been used to measure the correlation between quality of life factors by usingMicrosoft Excel and IBM SPSS softwares. The results showed that the desirability status of the indicatorsin Dizaj town is in order of the quality of transport, physical, economic and social environment. Amongindicators of the quality of life, the betterment of the social environment quality has the greatest necessityand share with the weight of 0.7. Other factors are effective in enriching the quality of life in the orderof 0.5 (physical environment), 0.37 (transportation) and 0.35 (economic environment). As a result,the injection of the development stimulating projects with socio-cultural approach would be the mosteffective factor in improving the quality of neighborhood life in the area.

The serious environmental challenges that the human settlements are faced with, suchas climate change, resource crisis, greenhouse gas emissions and water crisis are necessitated changingthe perspectives and adopting the adaptive policies of guiding and controlling the human settlementstowards responsiveness of the above challenges. Accordingly, the present research aims at investigatingthe effective aspects of urban form on environmental performances while focusing on urban opennessas one of the important general factors of built form. The methodological framework of the researchhas been founded on the analytical-comparative studies of the impacts of urban form on the theoreticalenergy demands according to the specific morphological units in the general morphological context ofthe Isfahan. On this basis, five tissue types (morphological units) have been selected arising from urbanmorphological approaches and methods as the comparative and analytical basis of the study. The resultsand findings demonstrate that there is a strong and significant correlation between energy demands andurban openness in general while the two classes of measures in terms of levels of complexity are classifiedas the analytical basis of the research. Results demonstrate that geometrical and configurational aspectsof urban form are in compliance with the climatic conditions in environmental performances studies.Finally, indicating the paradoxical behaviors of heating energy demands in cold seasons and coolingenergy demands in hot seasons especially in the case of hot and arid climate conditions in relation withurban morphological characteristics (focusing on urban openness factor) has been considered as the mostimportant achievement of this research.

Mega redevelopment projects based on partnership planning approach and mixed-usedevelopment are considered as solutions for distressed and blighted areas. Despite some public benefitsof such projects, they usually result in many challenges including cost overrun, failure to meet the timeschedule, social segregation, and social tensions or negative environmental impacts. Megaprojects asextensive physical interventions lead to a space reproduction for that neoliberalism request, throughprivate investment, attraction of creative class and creation of a variety of economic activities. Theprojects mostly offer four general promises including economic prosperity, place promotion, social,environmental and infrastructure improvement. However, the projects are not always successful inrealization of the promises. The mega redevelopment of Shohada Square in the City of Mashhad beganin 2002 to solve the challenges of the partly distressed area. But it seems that after more than a decade,from the beginning of the project, the challenges of the distressed area have been increased in someaspects. This paper assesses the success of the great project of Shohada Square in dealing with the generalpromises of megaprojects. In this paper, after reviewing the related literature about megaprojects andthe space reproduction resulting from megaprojects, different aspects of the Great Project of ShohadaSquare are analyzed through mixed method. Necessary information has been gathered through the citystatistics, interview and field observations. Findings show that although the project has led to physicalimprovement, it produced a functionally distressed area and it was not successful in dealing with thegeneral promises.

By the beginning of the third millennium, environment has become an issue of globalimportance. Changes arising from globalization has led to the formation of concerns that have inevitablybeen effective in the field of urban planning /design. New paradigms pertaining to urban policies havebecome pervasive all over the world, ignorant of the country’s local context. Lack of attention tocontextual compliance underlying some of these paradigms have caused extremes in some cases thatintensifies local-global dualities. This is especially evident in developing countries: there are occasionallysome proposals to employ international architectural consulting services with innovative/new approachesto design or plan for large cities with great local backgrounds. In these circumstances, the adaptabilityof international planning/design paradigms to local context is highlighted as a point of concern. In thisresearch, firstly, ‘contextualism’ is reviewed as a theory underlying urban development. Secondly, threerecent international urban development paradigms: New Urbanism, Urban Villages and Urban Renaissanceand the adaptability of their proposed solutions to urban context will be analyzed. An analytical methodfor comparative research is used to describe the main ideas of research. In each section, with an overviewof the most important related literature, a multi-step process and logical reasoning, the strategies ofeach paradigm are compared within a model (multiple dimensions of urban design). To compare theadaptability of strategies to the context, ‘contextualism’ conceptual framework has been utilized. It isconcluded that each paradigm has more emphasis on a specific dimension of contextualism which tracesback to specific economic, political, cultural, etc. Circumstances from which that paradigm has beenoriginated. Thus, when applying an international planning/design paradigm to a new environment, it willbring about practical changes only if it is calibrated to the local area’s context initially.
