Future of Facility Management
What is Facility Management? Facility management is a multidisciplinary topic that requires the collaboration and coordination of different people. ISO 41011:2017 defines FM as an “organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the built environment with the purpose of
An Architecture of Visual Images
The ocular bias has never been more apparent in the art of architecture than in the past half century, as a type of architecture, aimed at a striking and memorable visual image, has predominated. Instead of an existentially grounded plastic
Retinal Architecture and the Loss of Plasticity 
It is evident that the architecture of traditional cultures is also essentially connected with the tacit wisdom of the body, instead of being visually and conceptually dominated. Construction in traditional cultures is guided by the body in the same way
Wind Effect as a Design Factor; Part II
Even though the effects of fluctuating wind influence the urban and architectural design, and reciprocally, the specific distribution of buildings and their shape alter the wind flow, this dynamic natural element is still not an integral part of architectural designing.
Concept of Biomimicry in Design and Architecture 
According to Feuerstein and Fred Otto biology and architecture are prerequi- sites of each other. Bioinspiration in architecture is understood as a practical methodology for answering the stakes of designs of forms and energy-efficient structures at the urban scale using
Biomimicry
Biomimicry is the design that is inspired by nature in terms of functional concepts of an organism or an ecosystem. According to Janine Benyus, bio-mimicry mimics processes in nature to create innovative and sustainable design solutions. She also describes biomimicry
What is Parametric Modeling
Parametric modeling is a modeling process with the ability to change the shape of model geometry as soon as the dimension value is modified. Parametric modeling is implemented through the design computer programming code such as a script to define the
Wind effects as a design factor
The wind is an important element influencing and shaping the nature, eroding the soil, transporting sediments. Architecture represents an obstacle to the wind flow, affecting the flow pattern and the speed. Among all the environmental factors that affect architecture, the
Interior Design and Artificial Intelligence
With the rapid social and economic development, people's requirements for the comfort of the living environment are also increasing. When people choose an interior design plan, they need to use a comprehensive evaluation system to obtain reliable evaluation results, so
