Sustainable Design

Nature has provided the fundamental structure for the survival of all living beings. Human beings did not create the sun, the air, the water, the soil, the forests, or the countless relationships that sustain life. Science and technology, despite their achievements, can only work with the resources and laws that already exist within nature. They do not create the foundation; they operate within it. Today, much attention is given to expanding human activity beyond the Earth. While scientific exploration may increase knowledge, the belief that humanity can solve its problems by seeking unlimited resources elsewhere may reflect something deeper than necessity. It may reflect the desires, fears, and ambitions that arise from the accumulated conditioning of the human mind. Development driven solely by desire can become detached from responsibility. The challenge before humanity is not the lack of resources alone. It is the lack of understanding of our relationship with the whole. Climate change, environmental degradation, social conflict, and unsustainable consumption are reminders that human actions cannot be separated from their consequences. In this context, the vision of sustainable development promoted by the United Nations deserves serious attention. It is not a fantasy or an abstract ideal. It is a practical recognition that the wellbeing of people, communities, economies, and ecosystems are inseparably connected. Sustainable Development is an attempt to restore balance between human aspirations and the limits of the natural world. The simple understanding that "nothing exists alone" applies not only to households, villages, nations, and ecosystems, but also to the wider universe itself. Every part exists through relationships with other parts. When these relationships are ignored, instability follows. When they are understood and respected, harmony becomes possible. We need not speculate about distant worlds to appreciate this truth. The evidence is already before us. The Earth is our home. The responsibility entrusted to our generation is to live in a manner that safeguards its resources, protects its relationships, and leaves a healthy and sustainable world for future generations. The vision of sustainability is therefore not merely a development agenda. It is a call to live consciously within the web of relationships that sustains all life. I particularly like your sentence: "Nothing exists alone in the world." This can serve as a bridge between your lifelong work on energy, the UN vision of sustainability, and your more recent reflections on sanity and conscious living. It is simple, understandable, and difficult to dispute because it applies equally to a stove, a household, a village, a nation, and ultimately to the universe itself.

Through the analysis of existing curricula and prior research, this study pinpoints key trends in green education that support sustainable architectural practices. The findings reveal a variety of green education approaches, incorporating diverse tools and practical strategies essential for preparing students to effectively adopt and implement sustainable practices across different levels of architectural development.

Accounting education is vital in equipping future accounting professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the modern business landscape. The accounting profession is undergoing significant transformations driven by rapid technological advancements, increasing globalization, and evolving regulatory requirements (Tharapos, 2021; Asonitou & Hassall, 2019). To effectively respond to the evolving landscape of accounting education research, a crucial first step is to analyze its trends, key influences, and seminal publications. In this way, bibliometric analysis offers a valuable tool, allowing researchers and educators to identify underresearched areas where novel knowledge and insights can be unearthed (Abdullah et al., 2023). Bibliometric analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating research growth, impact, and structure within a specific domain (Donthu et al., 2021). By employing various metrics such as publication counts, citation analysis, and cooccurrence of keywords, bibliometric studies offer valuable insights into the dynamics and evolution of a research field (Abdullah, 2022; Zupic & Čater, 2015). This study harnesses the potential of bibliometric techniques to explore the development of accounting education research and uncover trends, patterns, and gaps in the literature. The landscape of accounting education has undergone significant shifts in recent years, driven by the changing demands of the profession and the evolving expectations of stakeholders (Rebele & Pierre, 2019). Technological advancements, such as the integration of data analytics and artificial intelligence, have reshaped the skill sets required of accounting graduates (Sledgianowski et al., 2017). Furthermore, the incorporation of a sustainability accounting and reporting module into the accounting curriculum of a university has led to shifts in students' recognition of various facets of duties and prospects (Coville, 2023). These developments highlight the need for a comprehensive understanding of the research trends and influences shaping accounting education. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of accounting education research. By identifying the most prominent research themes, this study provides a roadmap for future research endeavors in accounting education. Understanding the evolution of research topics and methodologies will enable researchers to identify gaps and opportunities for further exploration (Abdullah & Sofyan, 2023; Apostolou et al., 2021). Furthermore, this study sheds light on the contributions of influential authors who have significantly shaped the discourse in accounting education research. By analyzing citation patterns and coauthorship networks, this study identifies scholars who have made seminal contributions to the field (Abdullah, 2022; Merigó et al., 2020). This analysis provides valuable Abstract Accounting education prepares future accountants for the challenges of modern business. Hence, this study has undertaken a bibliometric analysis focusing on accounting education to comprehend its research patterns, trends, source titles, authors, institutions, and research themes. The data employed in this study were collected from two databases, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). The collected data were analyzed via ScientoPy and VOSviewer. This study revealed significant growth in accounting education research over the past three decades. With respect to the source title analysis, this study revealed that "Accounting Education" and the "Journal of Accounting Education" emerged as the most prominent in accounting education. The co-occurrence network of author keywords depicted accounting education, accounting, accounting students, and management accounting, which were frequently used by previous authors. Another intriguing finding revealed that the most cited articles cover managerial accounting, structured literature reviews, and cross-sectional analysis. The findings show that accounting education adapts to 21st-century issues and that future educators must be prepared. The study also revealed that sustainability, accounting skills, and the curriculum could be complementary research areas that benefit academics, educators, and policymakers.

Os assentamentos urbanos alteram e agridem o ecossistema natural fazendo com que seja necessário criar diretrizes de planejamento socioambiental e econômico para a elaboração de projetos sustentáveis. A biodiversidade e o turismo regional são abordados como fatores essenciais para o fortalecimento da resiliência urbana nas cidades de Itu, Salto e Cabreúva; região com grande potencial turístico por pertencer ao Roteiro dos Bandeirantes, e um rico patrimônio natural e paisagístico, oferecendo condições de desenvolver propostas de planejamento urbano sustentável para colaborar com possíveis intervenções dos órgãos públicos estaduais e municipais na formulação e revisão de planos diretores e contribuir com a valorização das potencialidades dos municípios regionais.

The design of new products is now influenced by shifting consumer demands and technological advancements. Products must satisfy high-quality standards and have a low environmental impact. New phenomena such as distributed and urban manufacturing are emerging to cope with this. A new manufacturing era is coming where methods that prevent waste, support small workshops and encourage do-it-yourself are crucial. In the early design stage, the process knowledge is minimal, and the decision taken is vital. For this reason, it is essential to support designers in anticipating the impact of decisions on the final product. This paper establishes the groundwork for decision-support methodologies for sustainable design in One-of-a-Kind additive manufacturing prototyping. Our proposed method is applied to a Fused Filament Fabrication case study, wherein we evaluate the impact of nine variables on factors such as process time, energy and material consumption, environmental footprint, and product...

Properly designed wooden truss bridges are environmentally compatible construction systems. The sharp decline in the erection of such structures in the past decades can be led back to the great effort needed for design and production. Digital parametric design and automated prefabrication approaches allow for a substantial improvement of the efficiency of design and manufacturing processes. Thus, if combined with a constructive wood protection following traditional building techniques, highly efficient sustainable structures are the result. The present paper describes the conceptual design for a wooden truss bridge drawn up for the overpass of a two-lane street crossing the university campus of one of Vienna's main universities. The concept includes the greening of the structure as a shading design element. After an introduction, two Austrian traditional wooden bridges representing a good and a bad example for constructive wood protection are presented, and a state of the art of the production of timber trusses and greening building structures is given as well. The third part consists of the explanation of the boundary conditions for the project. Subsequently, in the fourth part, the conceptual design, including the design concept, the digital parametric design, the optimization, and the automated prefabrication concept, as well as the potential greening concept are discussed, followed by a summary and outlook on future research.

Entrepreneurs play a critical role in the transition to circular strategies to maintain the value of their business's products, materials, and resources. In this sense, the objective of this article is to analyze the role of entrepreneurs in managing circular strategies for sustainability, drawing on authors such as Elkington (2023), the United Nations Global Compact, and Valenzuela, Dardón, and Perdomo (2024), among others. The design was bibliographic, descriptive, and documentary in nature. A systematic literature search was conducted in various sources, including academic databases (such as JSTOR, Scopus, and Web of Science), focusing on studies of entrepreneurs and circular strategies for sustainability. This facilitated the acquisition of theoretical and conceptual contributions within the context of the topic addressed. Based on the aforementioned findings, an analysis of the information was carried out from a descriptive perspective to offer reflections on the role of entrepreneurs in managing circular strategies for sustainability. Thus, it was found that, as a role, the entrepreneur must be able to identify and exploit opportunities, acting as the main driver for managing strategies that lead to sustainable models. Managing these strategies helps the entrepreneur reduce costs and eliminate waste, while simultaneously fostering economic productivity and green jobs.

Ecodesign in contemporary mechanical engineering has predominantly focused on the minimization of structural mass through material selection methodologies based on theoretical performance, such as Ashby's indices. This paper presents a critical analysis of this approach, confronting it with the operational, commercial, and maintenance realities of industrial plants. It is demonstrated that for stationary and industrial machinery, the combination of traditional (and recycled) steel with a modular design architecture offers a life-cycle efficiency, repairability, and commercial viability far superior to those of advanced lightweight engineered materials. Furthermore, this study highlights how modularity drives specialized outsourcing and the development of local industrial ecosystems. The manuscript proposes a paradigm shift toward "Sustainable Robustness.

The recent UN IPCC report on climate change gives us a narrow window of 12 years to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C and thus limit climate change catastrophe. According to the environmental advocacy organization Zero Code, the world is set to add 230 billion m² of buildings by 2060, roughly accumulating area equivalent to the City of New York to our planet approximately every 34 days. In this context, measures in buildings that reduce operational energy and carbon over the next 30-50 years, while meaningful, will only provide partial benefit when considering UN's 12-year narrow window. A more immediate impact comes from reduction of embodied carbon in buildings resulting from extraction, manufacturing and transportation of building materials and products coupled with the construction process. This paper outlines a qualitative step-by-step methodology for holistic carbon reduction in buildings that balances the short-term priority of embodied carbon with the long-term priority of operational carbon. The proposed methodology is supported by tools, resources and uses a case for illustration. Design strategies for embodied carbon reduction include reusing existing buildings where possible, choosing low-impact materials and structural systems for new construction, reducing material waste in design, and employing salvaged materials. Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) is proposed as a medium for assessing the collective impact of these strategies. Design strategies for operational carbon reduction include climate-driven passive architectural considerations, energy efficiency measures and a combination of onsite and offsite renewable energy. Whole building energy simulation is proposed as a medium for assessing the collective impact of these strategies.

This paper examines the sustainable design strategies of the Balkan vernacular architecture in the example of the traditional Ohrid house. The approach regarding the problem of resource conservation which is present in the selected examples of vernacular architecture offers the possibility of analysing and discussing the building strategies of the past, which are still considered to be relevant in terms of sustainability and environmental design. The subject of this research is the sustainable design strategies that refer to the reuse of building material and the measures regarding waste reduction in the form of its incorporation into new building materials. The research points to sustainable solutions regarding on-site minimisation of construction waste in the example of the traditional Ohrid house during the following three phases of the life cycle of both the material and the building: pre-building, building, and postbuilding phase. The applied on-site waste minimisation measures and the principle of using materials with low-embodied energy, identified in the example of the traditional Ohrid house, can be understood as the conceptual basis for finding more efficient solutions in today's material and energy conservation practices, proving that sustainable architecture could be achieved by a simple and thoughtful application of local materials and building techniques.

Abstract: The last ten years an increasing interest has raised in Ecodesign and Sustainable Design Research and Curricula Development in Europe and other parts of the world. Three years ago the Indian European Ecodesign Program (IEEP) has been initiated under the ...

The environmental impact of a manufacturing process is also dependent on the selection of the material and design of a product. This is because the manufacturing of a product is directly connected to the amount of carbon emitted in consuming the electrical energy for that manufacturing process. The difference in the general properties of materials such as strength, hardness and impact will have significant effect on the power consumption of the machine used to complete the product. In addition the environmental impact can also be reduced if the proposed designs use less material. In this study, an LCA tool called Eco-It is used. Evaluate the environmental impact caused by manufacturing simple jig. A simple jig with 4 parts was used as a case study. Two experiments were carried out. The first experiment was to study the environmental effects of different material, and the second experiment was to study the environmental impact of different design. The materials used for the jig are Aluminium and mild steel. The results showed a decrease in the rate of carbon emissions by 60% when Aluminium is use instead from mild steel, and a decrease of 26% when the-design is modified.

İç mekân hava kalitesi, kullanıcı sağlığı ve mekânsal konfor açısından mimarlık ve iç mimarlık disiplinlerinde önemli bir tasarım parametresi haline gelmektedir. İç mekânda kullanılan mobilya ve yüzey kaplamaları, uçucu organik bileşikler (VOC) açısından önemli emisyon kaynaklarıdır. Bu bileşiklerden biri olan formaldehit, ahşap esaslı levha ve mobilya üretiminde yaygın olarak kullanılmakta ve uzun süreli maruziyet durumunda ciddi sağlık riskleri oluşturmaktadır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) ve Uluslararası Kanser Araştırmaları Ajansı (IARC) tarafından yüksek riskli bir kirletici olarak sınıflandırılan formaldehit için güvenli bir maruziyet eşiğinin bulunmaması, iç mekânlarda kullanılan yapı ve donatı malzemelerinin emisyon davranışlarının deneysel olarak incelenmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, MDF Lam ve laminat yüzeyli mobilya panellerinin formaldehit emisyonlarının iç mekân hava kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini deneysel olarak değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında farklı kaplama türleri ve MDF sınıflarından oluşan sekiz adet 400×400 mm panel numunesi kontrollü laboratuvar ortamında test edilmiştir. Formaldehit ölçümleri, NIOSH NMAM 3500 metoduna göre UV spektrofotometresi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular, formaldehit konsantrasyonlarının 0,390-0,470 mg/m³ aralığında değiştiğini ve WHO önerileri ile EN 717-1 standardında E1 üst sınırının üzerinde olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca E0 ve E1 olarak etiketlenen ürünlerde dahi yüksek emisyon değerlerinin ölçülmesi, etiket sınıflandırmaları ile gerçek kullanım koşulları arasında her zaman doğrudan bir uyum bulunmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, yalnızca emisyon düzeylerini ortaya koymakla kalmamakta; kenar yüzey detayları, üretim sonrası bekletme/saklama süresi ve havalandırma stratejilerinin birlikte değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini de göstermektedir. Bu yönüyle çalışma, hem literatürde hazır mobilya bileşenlerinin gerçek kullanım koşullarına yakın değerlendirilmesine katkı sunmakta hem de üretim ve kullanım aşamalarında sağlık odaklı malzeme kararlarının geliştirilmesi için veri üretmektedir.

The building envelope functions as the primary interface between indoor and outdoor environments, which has long attracted the attention of building physicists and designers due to its dual role in performance and architectural expression. As the external layer of a building, the envelope conveys the design concept and visual identity of a project. Close collaboration with architects is essential to guide design decisions that enhance the thermal performance of the envelope, particularly by identifying and mitigating the dominant pathways of heat gain and heat loss through the building skin. Energy efficiency has become a central objective in the design and construction of numerous buildings. Some projects, such as those certified under the USGBC LEED framework, are formally classified as sustainable based on multiple criteria, including energy performance. However, a considerable number of these buildings fail to achieve optimal operational efficiency, often soon after completion. In this study, a proposed residential building in Erbil city was modelled, using the Park View project as a comparable case study for preliminary envelope design, to illustrate key considerations. Simulation outcomes demonstrated that optimising building orientation, together with an appropriate combination of glazing configuration, window-to-wall ratio, shading strategies, glazing specifications, and wall and roof insulation, led to a 53.6% reduction in annual energy demand. This investigation contributes to the growing body of research showing how simulation-based design can support sustainable building development and long-term energy efficiency. Furthermore, implementing such a high-performance envelope in conventional buildings, particularly high-rise structures, could yield greater energy savings and improved economic returns over the building lifecycle.

The rapid development of informational accessibility, virtual commutability, and their impacts on cities are becoming parts of the very core of concerns of contemporary urban design theories and methodologies. The level of access to the new means of cybermobility is becoming a formative factor for socio-spatial gradients and demographic patterns in urban and suburban settings. While the new hyper drive towards the ubiquitous virtual mobility is becoming the dominant mode of our being, it is exposing disparate consequences to cultural experiences, economic conditions, and socio-spatial networks of communities. The paper is devoted to elaborate the transformational role of cybernomadic experiences on social interaction for a resilient design of urban communities. The ultimate goal is to identify the applicability of new technological opportunities to empowering the urban poor and finding out the challenges facing urban design territories. The paper also reflects on Jane Jacobs' urban vision for the future and its specific lens.

The fashion industry is among the most resource-consuming sectors globally and contributes significantly to environmental pollution, textile waste generation, and resource depletion. Sustainable wastemanagement approaches and the use of circular economy solutions have

This research paper addresses the calibration of an energy simulation model for a naturally ventilated hospital building located in Mangalore, Karnataka, India, in a warm, humid climatic zone. The study aims to enhance the accuracy of energy consumption calculations through a calibration process by developing the energy model of a reference hospital building using EnergyPlus software. The required architectural design data, construction details, occupancy and schedule data and services are collected through documents, energy audits and documentation, measured drawings, and semi-structured interviews. Calibration parameters are systematically identified and adjusted through an iterative process. The monthly electricity bill is used to validate the simulation model. The simulation model reached during the validation process has an excellent Coefficient of Variation-Root Mean Squared Error of 4.24% and a Normalized Mean Bias Error of-4.42%, both of which meet the ASHRAE-approved accuracy standards. The paper also discusses the challenges and emphasizes the need for a nuanced approach to modeling healthcare facilities. Notwithstanding the challenges faced, the study offers insightful information about how to calibrate simulation models for hospital energy usage with the significant influence of scheduling for artificial lighting and equipment usage. By pioneering a manual calibration approach tailored to hospital simulation models in the warm humid climate of India, this paper offers a novel and practical solution to address the challenges of energy performance analysis in resource-constrained environments. The calibrated simulation model presented in this study is a valuable tool for assessing and improving the energy performance of naturally ventilated healthcare facilities. By creating alternative space layouts, the research findings aim to foster the development of hospital infrastructure that is both ecologically friendly and energyefficient in a specific climatic context. This research is assured to make a substantial contribution to the advancement of sustainable hospital design in warm-humid climates, with implications for both academia and industry.

Whilst the current debates on sustainable architecture is dominated by a conversation about energy performance and abstract certification—each easily manipulated to serve commercial gain—I argue that a philosophical reconsideration of relationality is key to a sustainable built environment, examining sustainable architecture through the perspective of Luce Irigaray’s philosophy of beingtwo. Defining sustainable architecture is a notoriously difficult proposition. Ambitious claims abound, demanding a critical distance, but equally important and necessary self-criticisms are heard. Edward Mazria (2013) founder of the Architecture 2030 Challenge, argues that “life depends on design.” Whilst the building sector as a whole, a major emitter of greenhouse gases, is currently making a significant negative impact on the natural environment, it can also be a solution to climate change. Roger Platt, President of the U.S. Green Building Council, recognizing the limitations of the LEED rating to...

In this paper, I will explore the work of two contemporary environmental philosophers: Gernot Böhme, celebrated for his philosophy of architectural atmosphere although less known for his work on ecological aesthetics, and Luce Irigaray, a French philosopher renowned for her work inspiring a generation of feminist scholars but less well discussed for her work on environmental ethics. For Böhme, our designed environments are experienced through atmosphere; we feel our own presence in a built environment and feel the environment in which we are present. His approach to design depends on feeling experienced through being in space rather than seeing space or imagining it. Irigaray, on the other hand, now in her eighties, distinguishes experience as different between the sexes, not as already cultural, but rather to be cultivated. Her philosophy is provocative and challenged by many; while on the margins of Parisian intellectual society, she still works, teaches, and writes prolifically a...

Direct involvement of the user in the assembling process of his/her own products or even entire house is a reality among low-income populations in developing countries. Nevertheless, there are a limited number of products that have actually been designed from a do-it-yourself (DIY) perspective, which results in several problems, such as poor user safety while the product is being assembled or inadequate results from an improvised assembling. Hence, the main goal of this paper is to analyse barriers to and opportunities for developing DIY products for low-income housing in developing countries. The research method utilises a case study of a DIY product consisting of a hybrid solution that acted as both a partition wall and a wardrobe. The identified opportunities included more systematic use of existing craft competencies among low-income families and the possibility of cost reduction through DIY concepts. Major barriers included the perception of the DIY product as inferior and the difficulty of communicating the DIY assembly process to users who quite often are illiterate.

In the management of the change/transformation processes of historical cities, the conservation plan approaches produced in line with traditional planning tools; On the one hand, the inability to respond to the changing needs/demands, and on the other hand, not having enough information and inventory on the historical city layers in the decision-making process causes the protected areas to become run-down, abandoned and their original identities to be lost. The “historical urban landscape approach”, which is used as a comprehensive tool for the protection of historical urban and natural environmental values and managing change, is discussed as a method/methodology for a sustainable urban conservation. In order to protect and ensure the sustainability of cultural heritage sites, which are faced with large-scale urban technical infrastructure projects that came to the agenda especially after 1980; It creates a need for transparent approaches that are based on detailed and scientific methods, based on an inventory containing all layers, created by sharing with the society, where the public lands are open to the public use of the citizens, and that will increase the quality of life of the citizens. In order to respond to this need, the “Historical Urban Landscape Approach” has been discussed as an accepted methodology and created a discussion agenda in the conservation literature by revealing the principles and steps related to the management of change in the sensitive decision processes between conservation and development.
Focusing on the questions of why the conservation plans, which are an
important tool in the provision of protection in the Historical Peninsula, cannot solve the problems and manage the change, the phenomenon of management of change in the urban landscape of the Historic Peninsula is based on the evidence-based cultural heritage effect of 9693 decisions of Committee taken between 2005 and 2017 for the Historic Peninsula. The classification of the regional board decisions (9 main themes and 30 categories) was made and examined. Afterwards, layer information of the Historic Peninsula was produced by focusing on the archaeological layers that make up the Historic Peninsula urban landscape.
As a result, starting from the problems related to the protection and
development (sustainability) of the Historic Peninsula, which is driven by
traditional planning tools and is faced with the pressure of dynamic and constant change; Emphasis is placed on the importance and necessity of addressing the historical urban landscape with the methodology and tools offered by the approach.

A great share of buildings' energy consumption in Iran is consumed in school buildings where the students' efficiency is highly dependent on thermal and visual comfort conditions. By considering the local microclimate and its influence on building performance, this study proposes an innovative methodology utilizing external redirecting transparent louvers applied to the external part of windows, to enhance the indoor visual and thermal comfort of school buildings in different climatic regions of Iran. Daylight Autonomy and Radiation are optimized as key factors for visual and thermal comfort, respectively, while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. The study focuses on simulated case studies of south-facing and north-facing classrooms located in four distinct climatic regions in Iran. The installation of louvers involves a constant parameter (number of louvers) and variable parameters (angle and width). The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach across all four climatic conditions in Iran, emphasizing its potential to significantly enhance thermal and visual comfort. Specifically, the results indicate a substantial increase in visual comfort (up to 45%) in Sari, along with a notable improvement in thermal demand (40%) in Yazd.

The fashion business is one of the most prominent economic sectors on a global scale, and it has a significant impact not only on society but also on the environment. The juxtaposition of zero waste fashion pattern methodology with conventional pattern approaches is the primary focus of the emphasis that is being placed on the promotion of sustainability within the fashion industry. A significant reduction in the amount of waste that is generated by the garment industry during the manufacturing cycle can be achieved through the utilization of zero waste pattern cutting. Furthermore, this method offers an alternative to traditional pattern creating processes that is more environmentally conscious, which helps to develop higher ecological sustainability that is more environmentally responsible. There are two techniques that make up the design process in traditional pattern-making. These methodologies include drafting patterns and draping patterns. A similar approach is taken in the zero waste fashion design process, which incorporates both the "design to pattern" and the "pattern to design" methodologies. In order to investigate the design process, analyze its potential, and assess its applications and influence within the fashion sector, a comprehensive comparison of different techniques is carried out. It is important to note that the zero waste fashion pattern is a technique for the creation of garment templates that aims to reduce the amount of textile waste produced during the manufacturing of apparel to less than 15%. In order to investigate and evaluate the differences between zero waste fashion patterns and standard fashion patterns within the fashion business, this study makes use of qualitative research methodologies, specifically literature reviews and simulations. After doing this research, the researchers came to the conclusion that the Zero-Waste pattern technique has emerged as a more sustainable solution for fostering environmental responsibility within the fashion sector. It is projected that the fashion industry will undergo a transformative change toward more sustainable practices on a broader scale. This shift is anticipated to occur as a result of the increased awareness of zero-waste design patterns and their capacity to positively influence the environment and generate better social progress.

Over the long course of human history we have relied primarily on ecocomposite materials to meet our needs. We can learn a great deal from our ancestor's experiences and discoveries. New research is also exploring the fabulous ecocomposites of nature -- like spider silk.

This paper explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform Arts-Based and Participatory Research (ABR) by expanding accessibility, inclusion, and creativity in education. Building on the evolution of the FotoDialogo Method©, originally developed by the author in the 1990s, it examines how AI-generated imagery can function as a dialogic tool for reflection and meaning-making in multilingual and multicultural contexts. Rather than replacing human creativity, AI is reframed as a visual co-storyteller-a collaborative instrument that democratizes access to participatory visual inquiry. Grounded in Paulo Freire's Thematic Investigation Model and Henry Murray's Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), the FotoDialogo Method integrates visual "codifications" and narrative dialogue to help participants examine their lived experiences and social realities. The method originated in communitybased research with Latina women in Springfield, Massachusetts, where hand-drawn charcoal sketches inspired collective reflection, self-expression, and empowerment. These early studies confirmed the potential of visual storytelling to reveal hidden narratives and promote consciousness-raising in marginalized groups. However, the method's replication was limited by the researcher's artistic skill. The current study investigates whether AI image-generation tools can extend FotoDialogo's reach while preserving its interpretive and ethical integrity. The AI-enhanced FotoDialogo employs a four-stage process: (1) narrative collection through interviews; (2) crafting descriptive text prompts; (3) AI image generation and cultural validation; and (4) group dialogue and collective interpretation. This hybrid process merges digital literacy, visual semiotics, and participatory reflection, enabling researchers and educators without artistic training to apply ABR methods effectively. Comparing hand-drawn and AI-generated images reveals both tensions and opportunities. While artistmade drawings convey empathy and contextual depth, AI imagery introduces accessibility and scalability, making participatory research more inclusive. Yet, ethical vigilance remains essential to prevent cultural distortion and ensure participant authorship and consent. The paper situates this innovation within the theoretical frames of Freire's dialogic pedagogy, Bruner's meaning-making theory, and Eco's semiotics, emphasizing that meaning arises through the interaction between image, viewer, and context. A pilot application with educator's groups demonstrated that AIgenerated visuals-though sometimes perceived as "too perfect" or "too Western"-stimulated emotional engagement and intercultural dialogue. Ultimately, the AI-supported FotoDialogo Method illustrates how technology can serve as a partner in participatory knowledge creation. By fusing artistic imagination with machine learning, this approach broadens the scope of visual inquiry in education and social research. It contributes to ongoing debates on equity, digital transformation, and inclusion, inviting educators and researchers to reimagine dialogue, authorship, and creativity in the age of AI.

Globally, design is increasingly being perceived as a strategic tool for community development, well-being and innovation, both in theory and in practice. In the last few years, Finland has brought this notion to its northernmost regions through their emerging Arctic Design concept. While the concept has gained a lot of momentum, it remains, at this time, mostly Finnish-bound. Through a case study methodology, this thesis examines the ideas and visions underlying the concept of Arctic Design, and assesses its relevance for other northern regions, and in particular the province of Quebec, Canada. The data was collected through semi-directed interviews, conducted in northern Finland with leading actors involved in the concept’s strategic development. The theoretical framework employed draws on the perspectives of strategic design, sustainable design, and Nordicity (Hamelin, 1975). This study shows that design professionals are increasingly acting as key members within transdisciplinary projects and strategic areas, in order to address complex issues related to policy-making and broader societal change. This, in turn, opens up new avenues for both design practice and research in the topic of “northern design”. In particular, these findings suggest that design could play new roles in addressing northern and Arctic issues, by acknowledging local specificities (i.e. climates, socio-political frameworks, cultures) and allow the development of place-based solutions. By doing so, the province of Quebec could better use design as a catalyst of transitions towards sustainable futures among all its communities.

À l’échelle mondiale, le design est perçu de plus en plus comme un outil stratégique pour le développement communautaire, le bien-être et l'innovation, tant au plan pratique que théorique. Au cours des dernières années, la Finlande a décidé d’introduire cette notion dans ses régions les plus septentrionales en développant le concept d’Arctic Design. Bien que le concept se soit beaucoup développé, il demeure, pour le moment, essentiellement limité à la Finlande. À l'aide d'une méthodologie d'étude de cas, ce mémoire examine les idées et les visions qui sous-tendent ce concept et évalue sa pertinence pour les autres régions nordiques, en particulier la province de Québec. Les données de cette étude sont constituées d’entretiens semi-dirigés, menés dans le Nord de la Finlande avec les principaux acteurs impliqués dans le développement stratégique du concept. Le cadre théorique utilisé ici s'inspire des perspectives du design stratégique, du design durable et de la Nordicité (Hamelin, 1975). Cette étude démontre que les professionnels en design peuvent occuper un rôle clé au sein de projets transdisciplinaires et de secteurs stratégiques, afin d’aborder des enjeux complexes concernant l'élaboration de politiques et des changements sociétaux plus profonds. Ceci ouvre de nouvelles avenues en design pour la pratique et la recherche en « design nordique » . Plus spécifiquement, ces résultats suggèrent que le design peut jouer un nouveau rôle dans la résolution des enjeux nordiques et Arctiques, en reconnaissant les spécificités locales (climats, contextes sociopolitiques et culturels) et permettre le développement de solutions adaptées au milieu. Ce faisant, le contexte québécois pourrait mieux utiliser le design comme catalyseur de changements vers un avenir durable pour l’ensemble de ses communautés

he paper reviewed the trending topic of climate change. It x-rayed its causes, T progression and effects on our environment, especially as it affects indoor thermal comfort in buildings in south eastern Nigeria. The paper agreed to facts from scholars on the issue that our globe has been going through a warming period, and that the action is most likely to continue. Climate change was concluded to be responsible for present environmental degradation in our societies, especially those arising from increase in temperature, ocean surge, desert encroachment acid rain and heat stroke to mention a few. These unholy occurrences have left sad memories in our minds and environments, and should be discouraged. The paper assessed the thermal effects on buildings especially in south eastern states of Nigeria, and called on architects and other professionals in the challenge and come up with architectural solutions that will ameliorate presently felt thermal discomfort in buildings and bring sustainable healing thermal healing in indoors of our buildings. The paper then enumerated architectural design and developmental guidelines that will lead to reduced in indoorheating, and attainment of acceptable thermal comfort status.

This research investigates the strategic application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to optimize the architectural design and energy performance of mosques in Saudi Arabia's hot arid climate, while preserving Islamic cultural and spiritual authenticity. Employing a mixed-methods approach combining Building Information Modeling (BIM) simulations, energy audits, and stakeholder engagement, this study examines 17 mosques across diverse geographic and typological contexts. Quantitative analysis reveals that AI-driven design methodologies can reduce annual energy consumption by 29%, decreasing the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) from 87.5 kWh/m²/yr to 61.8 kWh/m²/yr. LED lighting optimization alone achieves a 9% energy reduction while improving illumination uniformity (E₀ = 0.69). Smart occupancy-based control systems demonstrate 16.2-21.2% additional energy savings through adaptive HVAC management. Qualitative findings indicate strong stakeholder support for technology integration, provided core cultural elements-including Qibla orientation, Islamic ornamentation, and acoustic requirements-remain inviolate. This study contributes a validated framework for culturally-sensitive AI implementation in sacred architecture, offering actionable strategies for architects, policymakers, and religious authorities. The results, supported by precedent studies (Abdallah, 2023; Abdou et al., 2013), suggest broad applicability to other hot arid climates and culturally significant building typologies globally.

Sustainable development issues are currently the driving forces of many building projects. The building façade is critical for the architectural expression and has a large affect upon large parts of the building's environmental performance. This study investigates the advantages of using multidimensional computer aided modeling and simulation to produce a sustainable façade design. A first step towards green building design is to establish a list of parameters which can then be used as design criteria, e.g. environmental performance, thermal visual and acoustic comfort, etc. Computer simulation and an analysis of recent projects in Hong Kong can help to determine the performance according to these design parameters whilst environmental impacts due to energy consumption are considered to be an important design parameter, it is also important for comfort criteria to be considered.

Property owners across Christchurch are increasingly choosing window film solutions to improve comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency without making major structural changes. Professional window film installation offers a practical way to create a more comfortable indoor environment while also protecting valuable interiors from sunlight and glare.

Bu makale, kamu ve yerel yönetimlerin kentsel ve çevresel politikalar üzerindeki
etkilerini, sürdürülebilir kent yönetimi bağlamında incelemektedir. Küreselleşme ve
kentleşme süreçleri, doğru yönetilmediğinde iklim değişikliği ile birlikte küresel ölçekte
ciddi riskler doğurabilmektedir. Bu nedenle, yerel yönetimlerin yenilikçi ve kapsayıcı
politikalar geliştirmesi kritik önem taşımaktadır. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımı ve
karşılaştırmalı vaka analizi yöntemiyle, Hamburg’un %40 yeşil alan artışı sağlayan yeşil
altyapı projeleri, Kopenhag’ın %40 emisyon azaltımı hedefleyen iklim eylem planları,
San Francisco’nun sıfır atık politikası ve Kerala’nın %30 halk katılımı sağlayan
bütçeleme modeli analiz edilmiştir. Türkiye’de Kadıköy ve Nilüfer gibi belediyeler, yeşil
altyapı ve toplum katılımı projelerinde ilerleme kaydetse de düşük toplumsal güven ve
finansman kısıtlamaları başarıyı sınırlamaktadır. İyi Yönetişim ve Sosyal Kapital Teorisi
çerçevesinde, finansman, altyapı ve toplumsal katılım gibi zorlukların aşılması için
şeffaflık, dijital katılım platformları ve yeşil tahvil gibi hibrit stratejiler önerilmektedir.
Yerel yönetimlerin sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerine ulaşması, bu çok yönlü yaklaşımların
yerel koşullara uyarlanmasına bağlıdır.

İnsanlık uzun süre boyunca "yer" ve "gök" kavramlarını birbirinden ayrı sistemler gibi değerlendirdi. Ancak modern fizik, elektromanyetik davranışlar ve atmosfer araştırmaları; Dünya ile atmosfer arasında sürekli bir enerji alışverişi olduğunu göstermektedir.

O ingresso neste Mestrado foi um investimento numa área em que acredito ser uma aposta no futuro e para a qual faz sentido trabalhar. Este relatório de estágio foi o culminar de uma etapa que está a terminar mas que não seria possível sem o apoio de todos aqueles que me acompanharam e incentivaram. Gostaria assim de agradecer à minha orientadora, a Professora Doutora Cristina Chaves pelo seu apoio, orientação e esclarecimento de todas as dúvidas que foram surgindo. À Eng.ª Alexandra Mouta, minha orientadora do estágio, pela oportunidade para a realização deste trabalho, pela sua disponibilidade e partilha de conhecimento. Agradeço a toda a equipa da Amorim Cork Composites que me apoiou no desenvolvimento deste trabalho, ao Eng. João Carvalho, ao Eng. Álvaro Baptista, ao Sr. Joaquim Leal e toda a equipa de I&D, ambiente e de planeamento de produção. Também gostaria de agradecer a todos os professores do Mestrado pela sua dedicação e também aos meus colegas do Mestrado pelo apoio, em particular à Lúcia Buson pela sua amizade. Aos meus amigos, em particular à Vanessa Ramos por toda a disponibilidade, boa disposição e apoio ao longo destes meses de trabalho. Por último à minha família, aos meus pais e irmã pelo apoio incondicional em qualquer lugar, em qualquer situação, em qualquer decisão. iii A economia circular surge como um modelo económico alternativo ao modelo linear, considerando os aspetos ambientais no desenvolvimento económico. Neste contexto, as empresas apresentam um papel fundamental na concretização desta transição. Uma das medidas é a implementação de Simbioses Industriais, onde duas ou mais empresas trocam resíduos ou subprodutos entre si para a criação de novos produtos. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no âmbito do estágio curricular desenvolvido na empresa Amorim Cork Composites, que teve como objetivo a procura de novas fontes de resíduos ou subprodutos para o desenvolvimento de novas redes de simbiose industrial. Assim, através do contato com várias empresas foram identificadas várias fontes de resíduos/subprodutos, nomeadamente o de EVA de Alta Densidade. Este foi o principal resíduo identificado pelas quantidades disponíveis significativas e pela possibilidade de processamento com a tecnologia atual da empresa. Para o caso de estudo deste resíduo foram criadas parcerias com oito empresas em Portugal e, chegou-se à conclusão que a sua recolha é viável em Portugal e Espanha. Pensa-se que este trabalho contribuirá para a literatura existente, pois trata-se de um caso concreto de implementação de Simbiose Industrial, temática onde as experiências e o respetivo enquadramento teórico ainda escasseiam, estabelecendo, além do mais, a relação entre vários tópicos, desde, por exemplo, questões regulatórias/legislativas e eco inovações, até benefícios ambientais e económicos, barreiras e fatores determinantes, passando por questões específicas de proximidade geográfica. .

The construction of buildings and other infrastructure contributes to climate change. Over time, reducing the embodied carbon in structural materials, such as steel, has become a primary target for meeting climate change goals within this sector. Steel column base plate assemblies, which include steel plates, anchor systems, and concrete pedestals, are critical components of load transfer mechanisms; however, they remain quasi-ignored in environmental impact assessments. This study assessed the impact of concrete pedestal compression on the design efficiency and embodied carbon of steel base plate assemblies. Concrete with a compression range of 21-35 MPa was used in the parametric analysis of three typical column sizes: H300, H250, and H200. The AISC Design Guide was used to determine the base plate sizes, whereas the cradle-to-gate approach in BS EN 15978 was used to calculate the embodied carbon. The study results indicated that when the concrete strength was increased from 21 MPa to 28-32 MPa, there was a notable reduction in the base plate areas, ranging from 30-40%, and the associated embodied carbon decreased principally owing to the reduction in carbon-intensive steel. However, beyond 32 MPa concrete, further reductions in plate size are insignificant, whereas the concrete embodies more carbon. Sensitivity analysis confirmed that these trends remained steady despite changes in the carbon factor. Steel continues to be the main contributor to the total embodied carbon. This study provides practical advice for structural engineers. Selecting a concrete strength between 28 and 32 MPa and properly sizing the base plates can significantly improve the design of low-carbon-steel-framed buildings.

In the last few decades, sustainable buildings and incorporating renewable energy become crucial to preserve life for current and next generations. Photovoltaics (PV) are widely used to produce energy for buildings which it can be seen worldwide and in Iraqi Kurdistan too. However, their integration into buildings, including residential buildings, become problematic for architectural quality of the buildings in general and residential buildings specifically as it is not integrated well and most of the times seem as it is not belong to it because they were not designed in congruence with the architectural form. Based on this, the researchers explored different innovative architectural integration approaches in developed world and innovative products that enable them to architecturally integrate it that can improve architectural quality besides generating solar energy in Iraqi Kurdistan. PV products have been divided for roofs and façades (with all it is parts) so that it can architecturally integrate better. An analysis for the rate and quality of used PV in Kurdistan has been done through set of criteria's so that to specifically determine the problems, and through the analysis creating a residential (house) prototype and applying potential BIPV on it. Recommendations have been presented for how it can be architecturally integrated besides it is energy production.

Apesar de discutida há mais de meio século, a decisão sobre a localização e construção do Novo Aeroporto de Lisboa (NAL) continua a ser um dos processos de política pública mais desafiantes e complexos das últimas décadas. A saturação estrutural do Aeroporto Humberto Delgado (AHD), que em 2019 ultrapassou os 30 milhões de passageiros, muito acima da capacidade originalmente projetada, compromete a eficiência estratégica e operacional, a segurança e a qualidade de vida das populações expostas ao ruído e à poluição gerada pelas aeronaves. A manutenção do modelo aeroportuário atual representa, por isso, um risco elevado para a competitividade económica nacional, para o turismo, para as exportações comerciais e para a sustentabilidade ambiental.

Esta investigação propõe-se analisar as fases do ciclo das políticas públicas correspondentes à identificação do problema público, ao desenho e formulação da política pública, bem como aos principais desafios que emergem ao longo do processo de tomada de decisão sobre o NAL. Contudo, não serão abordadas as fases de implementação e avaliação, uma vez que a política pública em estudo ainda se encontra em desenvolvimento, não existindo condições para uma análise sustentada dessas dimensões. Assim, será realizada apenas uma análise preditiva do impacto que esta decisão poderá vir a ter a nível nacional, caso se concretize.

Com recurso a uma metodologia teórica, baseada na consulta, interpretação e análise de diversos documentos de fonte primária, conclui-se que esta decisão aeroportuária não se restringe à escolha da sua localização, mas envolve também a capacidade do Estado português para planear e executar grandes projetos de infraestrutura.

This article develops an ethical comparison between industrial production and craft, arguing that the future of production lies not in choosing between them but in creating ethically optimized hybrid forms. Drawing on thinkers such as Hesiod, Marx, Ruskin, Morris, Schumacher, Sennett, Fromm, and Goleman, it examines production through three dimensions: standard of living, quality of life, and environmental ethics. Industrial production provides efficiency, abundance, accessibility, and economic security, yet often generates exploitation, alienation, overconsumption, ecological destruction, and moral detachment from production processes. Craft production, by contrast, fosters autonomy, meaning, material intelligence, transparency, and ecological responsibility, though it is limited by lower productivity and economic insecurity. The article argues that the ethical significance of craft lies not in nostalgia or manuality itself, but in preserving agency, responsibility, and meaningful engagement with labor and materials. Contemporary developments such as maker culture, FabLabs, repair cafés, and regenerative design are interpreted as emerging efforts to combine technological efficiency with humane and environmentally responsible production.

המאמר מציע השוואה אתית בין ייצור תעשייתי לבין קראפט, וטוען כי עתיד הייצור אינו טמון בבחירה ביניהם אלא ביצירת מודלים היברידיים של ייצור מיטבי מבחינה אתית. בהסתמך על הוגים כגון הסיודוס, מרקס, רסקין, מוריס, שומאכר, סנט, פרום וגולמן, המאמר בוחן את הייצור דרך שלושה ממדים: רמת חיים, איכות חיים ואתיקה סביבתית. הייצור התעשייתי מספק יעילות, שפע, נגישות וביטחון כלכלי, אך גם כרוך לעיתים קרובות בניצול, ניכור, צריכת יתר, הרס אקולוגי וניתוק מוסרי מתהליכי הייצור. קראפט, לעומת זאת, מטפח אוטונומיה, משמעות, אינטליגנציה חומרית, שקיפות ואחריות אקולוגית, אך מוגבל בפריון נמוך יותר ובחוסר ביטחון כלכלי. המאמר טוען כי חשיבותו האתית של הקראפט אינה נעוצה בנוסטלגיה או בעצם העבודה הידנית, אלא בשימור סוכנות, אחריות ומעורבות משמעותית וישירה בתהליך העבודה. התפתחויות עכשוויות כגון תרבות המייקרים, פאב-לאבז, סדנאות תיקון ועיצוב רגנרטיבי מוצגות כניסיונות לשלב בין יעילות טכנולוגית לבין ייצור אנושי ואחראי מבחינה חברתית וסביבתית.

Este proyecto fue realizado por un pequeño equipo de investigadores afiliados al Transition Design Institute de la Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, EE. UU. Es un “trabajo en progreso” compartido con un grupo específico como una introducción al enfoque de Transition Design y su conjunto de herramientas emergentes para abordar “problemas perversos” y no debe considerarse una investigación concluyente. En marzo de 2020, cuando COVID-19 estaba emergiendo en los EE.UU. decidimos utilizar el enfoque de Diseño para la Transición para rastrear y analizar la propagación y la respuesta a la pandemia en los EE.UU. Este alcance de la investigación tiene la intención de servir como un “ boceto ”para orientar la investigación cualitativa adicional que involucre una variedad de métodos tales como: entrevistas a las partes interesadas (1) y a expertos (con expertos como epidemiólogos, sociólogos, historiadores, formuladores de políticas, políticos, funcionarios de salud, organizaciones sin f...

El siguiente documento tiene como objetivo proporcionar algo de la historia y la teoría del diseño que se está utilizando en la Escuela de Diseño de la Universidad Carnegie Mellon en su esfuerzo por constituir la práctica del Diseño para la Transición. Explica cómo la profesión y la disciplina del diseño están experimentando una rápida expansión y transformación que permiten un rico conjunto de marcos para el Diseño para la Transición. Este artículo argumenta que los diseñadores no solo pueden y deben aprender de los estudios para la transición, sino que el diseño puede contribuir recíprocamente a través de nuevos enfoques para enmarcar problemas relacionados con el cambio sociotécnico dentro del contexto de ecosistemas complejos.
