This book examines a range of subjects with a specific focus on architectural and technological advancements. Architecture is the constant innovation in designing for high efficiency in the performance of buildings, in terms of planning, construction and energy, while maintaining creativity in its form. Moreover, the field of architecture goes hand in hand with that of technology. Nowadays, engineering technology has to cope with the rapid industrialization and urbanization seen in most countries. Furthermore, creative design and construction practices are challenging tasks to the architects and engineers to meet the ever-growing demands of society. Therefore, this book on "Advances in Engineering Science and Architectural Design" is provided to cover a wide range of topics in architecture, engineering, and technology.

This book incorporates a wealth of research focused on the more and more urgent challenges that urban planning and architectural design all over the world must cope with: from climate change to environmental decay, from an increasing urban population to an increasing poverty. In detail, this book aims at providing innovative approaches, tool and case study examples that, in line with the agenda of 2030, may better drive human settlements toward a sustainable, inclusive and resilient development. To this aim, the book includes heterogeneous regional perspectives and different methodologies and suggests development models capable of limiting further urban growth and re-shaping existing cities to improve both environmental quality and the overall quality of life of people, also taking account the more and more close relationships among urban planning and technological innovation.

This book introduces a model for the built environment, designed to incorporate sustainability at every level. It emphasizes the integration of environmental, social, and economic factors to create resilient urban spaces. Also, it presents a decision support system that optimizes energy management for sustainability, enabling real-time adjustments and reducing carbon footprints. It discusses innovative strategies for managing water and wastewater in swampland areas, offering insights from UIN Raden Fatah Palembang's adaptation efforts.Also, this book provides a thorough review of bio-based business models, examining their agility and adaptability in fostering sustainable innovations that respond to market and environmental changes. Moreover, the book explores a novel approach to renewable energy, this chapter assesses the feasibility of using vortex bladeless wind turbines for energy generation at airport runways, offering both conceptual and economic analyses. In addition to discuss the creation and role of multi-actor forums in promoting a sustainable blue economy in the Black Sea region, emphasizing collaborative efforts to preserve marine resources.This book investigates the use of halophyte biochar as a sustainable soil amendment for sandy soils, demonstrating its potential to improve soil quality and promote sustainable agriculture. Also, the book aims to assess the sustainability of food-energy-water systems at the household level, advocating for integrated solutions that enhance resource efficiency and sustainability. This book delves into societal perceptions of climate change adaptation, using interaction analysis to better understand public attitudes and their implications for policy and communication strategies. This book presents a case study from Istanbul, offering insights into how local identity can strengthen community resilience and sustainability efforts. Finally the book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing sustainable practices across various sectors, from energy management and water resources to food systems and environmental education. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and innovation agility in addressing global sustainability challenges.

This book explores adaptive strategies that integrate Anthropogenic principles into architectural and urban design, particularly in low-income contexts like East Africa. It examines urban revitalization through case studies, such as Benghazi’s smart indicators, the use of public spaces for climate resilience, and transformative projects like reclaiming Lebanese quarries and understanding micro-segregation in Thessaloniki. Moreover, it emphasizes the role of eco-communities, post-pandemic urban design, and advanced spatial tools like BIM technology and robotic assembly. It also explores the potential of blockchain and 6G networks in advancing urban planning. This book also investigates AI-driven solutions for traffic management, accident prediction, and energy-efficient automated vehicle systems. It also envisions integrating autonomous aerial vehicles into smart city frameworks and explores collaborative platforms for research innovation. Last but not least, this book focuses on distributed energy systems, the electrification of transport, and innovative governance models like the Urban Climate Transition Governance Prism. It concludes with advanced techniques for environmental monitoring, such as cropland mapping using time-series data.
