Toward the formulation of a proposed frame for the formal and structural specifications of the modern parametric digital architecture
Background
This research paper contributes to presenting a proposed framework for the formal and structural specifications of parametric digital architecture in order to increase knowledge and know-how in this field closely to specialists and those interested in it through the research methodology, which is divided first into the theoretical background to include a presentation of the definition of digital architecture and the most important pioneers of digital architecture, digital building materials and construction mechanisms parametric digital and what are the most important computer software used in parametric digital architecture in terms of design and construction implementation and identifying the most important digital specifications and characteristics that were mentioned in previous studies in this field and what are the unconventional digital esthetic values, then comes the role of the applied study in formulating a comprehensive matrix of parametric design modern and its impact on the development of traditional architectural models in digital architecture.
Results
The research study found that both (unrealistic shape) and (typical interaction) ranked first with the highest percentage reaching 100% in all study cases. The ratio of the volume of each to the total volume of all elements of morphological characteristics and non-traditional esthetic values was 8%, the most important characteristic of buildings in parametric digital architecture, in most of them, is the lack of realism to a very significant degree, and we always find a clear increase in the interaction, vitality and dynamism of buildings with the surrounding environment.
Conclusions
The most important characteristic of buildings in parametric digital architecture, in most of them, is the lack of realism to a very significant degree, and we always find a clear increase in the interaction, vitality and dynamism of buildings with the surrounding environment. While we conclude that the least characteristic of the parametric digital buildings is the simulation of nature or the tendency to everything that is traditional, as well it is often inclined to everything strange and unfamiliar.

Iterative Analog–Digital Multi-User Equalizer for Wideband Millimeter Wave Massive MIMO Systems
Most of the previous work on hybrid transmit and receive beamforming focused on narrowband channels. Because the millimeter wave channels are expected to be wideband, it is crucial to propose efficient solutions for frequency-selective channels. In this regard, this paper proposes an iterative analog–digital multi-user equalizer scheme for the uplink of wideband millimeter-wave massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. By iterative equalizer we mean that both analog and digital parts are updated using as input the estimates obtained at the previous iteration. The proposed iterative analog–digital multi-user equalizer is designed by minimizing the sum of the mean square error of the data estimates over the subcarriers. We assume that the analog part is fixed for all subcarriers while the digital part is computed on a per subcarrier basis. Due to the complexity of the resulting optimization problem, a sequential approach is proposed to compute the analog phase shifters values for each radio frequency (RF) chain. We also derive an accurate, semi-analytical approach for obtaining the bit error rate (BER) of the proposed hybrid system. The proposed solution is compared with other hybrid equalizer schemes, recently designed for wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. The simulation results show that the performance of the developed analog–digital multi-user equalizer is close to full-digital counterpart and outperforms the previous hybrid approach.

Learning FPGAs : digital design for beginners with Mojo and Lucid HDL
\"Learn how to design digital circuits with FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), the devices that reconfigure themselves to become the very hardware circuits you set out to program. With this practical guide, author Justin Rajewski shows you hands-on how to create FPGA projects, whether you're a programmer, engineer, product designer, or maker. You'll quickly go from the basics to designing your own processor. Designing digital circuits used to be a long and costly endeavor that only big companies could pursue. FPGAs make the process much easier, and now they're affordable enough even for hobbyists. If you're familiar with electricity and basic electrical components, this book starts simply and progresses through increasingly complex projects\"--Publisher's description.

Navigating CLIPedia: Architectonic instruments for querying and questing a latent encyclopedia
This paper introduces CLIPedia, an entirely local, highly scalable, multimodal search engine that integrates the structured knowledge of Wikipedia into the latent embedding space of OpenCLIP. Alongside its technical development, the paper offers a theoretical framing, positing AI not merely as a tool for information access but as an architectonic instrument for invention and discovery. Built on a two-tiered Self-Organizing Map (SOM) architecture—comprising toroidal and ring-shaped layers—CLIPedia organizes over 30 million data points for fast unimodal and cross-modal retrieval. It achieves sub-second response times on standard hardware with minimal working memory footprint, delivering local performance comparable to cloud-based vector search systems and excelling on queries that return many relevant results. Beyond queries, CLIPedia enables latent journeys—termed quests—across high-dimensional embedding space. For this, the paper introduces a set of navigational metaphors and computational mechanisms—termed Orthodromes, Diadromes, Archidromes, and Thelodromes—to trace both linear and non-linear trajectories through the latent space of digitally encoded encyclopedic knowledge. The paper is accompanied by an open-source code repository.

IoT-based cyber-physical communication architecture: challenges and research directions
In order to provide intelligent services, the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates millions of smart cyber-physical devices to be enabled with network connectivity to sense, collect, process, and exchange information. Unfortunately, the traditional communication infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber attacks and link failures, so it is a challenging task for the IoT to explore these applications. In order to begin research and contribute into the IoT-based cyber-physical digital world, one will need to know the technical challenges and research opportunities. In this study, several key technical challenges and requirements for the IoT communication systems are identified. Basically, privacy, security, intelligent sensors/actuators design, low cost and complexity, universal antenna design, and friendly smart cyber-physical system design are the main challenges for the IoT implementation. Finally, the authors present a diverse set of cyber-physical communication system challenges such as practical implementation, distributed state estimation, real-time data collection, and system identification, which are the major issues require to be addressed in implementing an efficient and effective IoT communication system.

Beauty of Nature’s Forms in Classic Approach in Modern Architecture
The author attempts to answer the questions, what is beauty in architecture and how the canon of beauty has changed in view of extending the possibilities of geometric control and the development of digital technology. The basis of classical beauty was the aesthetics of forms based on the belief that there was an objective beauty that the ancients understood mathematically. Using the achievements of predecessors gives us the opportunity to develop their thoughts using the principles originally laid the base for further research, or to widen the field of the methods used.The modern science of beauty studies forms that come from nature. Studying the laws governing these shapes and proportions, we encounter the mathematical and geometric conditions in which Pythagoras and Plato found the secret of beauty. The subject of the article is to formulate the problem of searching for and creatively shaping an architectural form in a complex relationship to the generally understood nature through a research analysis of the theoretical foundations of the concept of classical beauty from a philosophical, artistic, mathematical and social point of view. The analysis of this issue shows nature as the main instrument in shaping the pattern of perfection and beauty to the present times.

Innovative method for designing architectural plans and constructing prefabricated structural components using digital design solutions
The growing complexity of urban development and the demand for faster, more efficient construction have led architects and engineers to explore new design paradigms. Among these, modular construction and prefabrication have emerged as promising solutions for high-rise buildings, offering advantages in speed, quality control, and material efficiency. Modular systems rely on the off-site production of standardised units, later assembled on-site using various installation techniques, reducing construction time and minimising waste. Parallel to this, advancements in digital design—especially parametric and algorithmic modelling—have transformed architectural work-flows. These tools allow real-time simulation, spatial analysis, and iterative optimisation, enabling architects to create spatial configurations that are both functional and adaptable. Yet, a gap remains in integrating digital design logic with modular systems, particularly in high-rise residential architecture. This research addresses that gap by introducing a computational method for generating and optimising modular floor plans. The approach integrates algorithmic design, adjacency validation, and multi-objective optimisation within a parametric workflow. It supports rapid floor plan generation while responding to user preferences and functional requirements, site conditions, and architectural criteria. Unlike catalogue-based modular systems, the proposed method automates floor plan generation and evaluates performance across multiple objectives. It also offers scalability to larger urban contexts, contributing to more adaptable, sustainable construction. The aim of this study is to develop a computational design methodology that enables the generation, evaluation, and optimisation of modular floor plans using algorithmic logic and spatial constraints. It seeks to bridge the gap between conceptual digital design and practical implementation in high-rise modular architecture.
