Sustainable urban landscapes: a computation framework for enhancing sustainability in early-stage design
PurposeThis study uses computer-aided design to improve the ecological and environmental sustainability of early-stage landscape designs. Urban expansion on open land and natural habitats has led to a decline in biodiversity and increased climate change impacts, affecting urban inhabitants' quality of life and well-being. While sustainability indicators have been employed to assess the performance of buildings and neighbourhoods, landscape designs' ecological and environmental sustainability has received comparatively less attention, particularly in early-design stages where applying sustainability approaches is impactful.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose a computation framework for evaluating key landscape sustainability indicators and providing real-time feedback to designers. The method integrates spatial indicators with widely recognized sustainability rating system credits. A specialized tool was developed for measuring biomass optimization, precipitation management and urban heat mitigation, and a proof-of-concept experiment tested the tool's effectiveness on three Mediterranean neighbourhood-level designs.FindingsThe results show a clear connection between the applied design strategy to the indicator behaviour. This connection enhances the ability to establish sustainability benchmarks for different types of landscape developments using parametric design.Practical implicationsThe study allows non-expert designers to measure and embed landscape sustainability early in the design stages, thus lowering the entry level for incorporating biodiversity enhancement and climate mitigation approaches.Originality/valueThis study expands the parametric vocabulary for measuring landscape sustainability by introducing spatial ecosystem services and architectural sustainability indicators on a unified platform, enabling the integration of critical climate and biodiversity-loss solutions earlier in the development process.

An Urban Design Engineering Management Model Based on Data Analysis and Landscape Urbanism
The error brought by space syntax in modeling computation and auxiliary analysis decision-making process has not been fully studied. In response to this phenomenon, this paper introduces two typical examples of digital visualization, 2D and 3D maps obtained using GIS and computer-aided design techniques, to design a multiflow system with elements interacting. By looking at flow models represented by traffic and walking, we consider how new real-time social media can be used to represent small-scale interactions at the spatial and social network levels. Watch how real-time data is sent to designers through various forms of dashboard by choosing the optimal radius, moderate model expansion range, with the aid of multisource urban data, choosing the appropriate fineness and modeling software.

A low-cost spatial tool for transforming feature positions of CAD-based topographic mapping
In fact, Computer Aided Design (CAD) offers powerful design tools to produce digital large scale topographic mapping that is considered the backbone for construction projects, urban planning and landscape architecture. Nowadays local agencies in small communities and developing countries are facing some difficulties in map to map transformation and handling discrepancies between the physical reality and represented spatial data due to the need for implementing high cost systems such as GIS and the experienced staff required. Therefore, the require for providing a low-cost tool based on the most common CAD system is very important to guarantee a quality and positional accuracy of features. The main aim of this study is to describe a mathematical relationship to fulfil the coordinate conversion between two different grid references applying two-dimensional conformal polynomial models built on control points and a least squares fitting algorithm. In addition, the automation of this model was performed in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment to calculate polynomial coefficients and convert the positional property of entities in AutoCAD by developing spatial CAD tool. To evaluate the proposed approach the extracted coordinates of check points from the interpolation surface are compared with the known ones.

Sustainable Development of the Slope Lands of the Russian Arctic: Investigation of the Relationship between Slope Aspects, Wind Regime and Residential Wind Comfort
The land-use of slope terrain in the Arctic region is important and relevant, as vast territories that are reserved for proposed cities’ development have disturbed land relief. The relevance of the study is also associated with an increased interest in the development of settlements in the Arctic region, which has great territorial and resource potential. In addition to the complexity of the engineering support of such terrains, there are difficulties in organizing comfortable indoor wind comfort in the residential areas required for population well-being. The study focuses on specific conditions for residential areas design resilient to the harsh climatic conditions on difficult slope terrain to ensure the quality of life of the population in the Arctic region of Russia. The article focuses on the study of wind-chill parameters such as wind velocity and temperature for different slopes. The subject of this research is slope terrain aeration conditions of the Arctic zone in Russia. The research aim expresses the relationship between specific aeration of the slope area conditions and the layout design of residential areas to ensure comfortable living conditions for the population. The study was carried out using mathematical computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling of wind flows in the ANSYS Fluent program. The results of the study are graphs showing the distribution of comfort and discomfort zones in a residential area for different aeration conditions at different slope terrains. Implementation of the methodology for assessing aeration conditions for residential areas on slope terrains was carried out in the city of Murmansk. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that there are no similar studies for the Arctic region in Russia. Research results can be used as a practical tool for justification of residential areas through a sample plan addressing their wind comfortability.

2017 International Parking Institute’s Awards of Excellence
As the winners of the 2017 International Parking Institute's (IPI) Awards of Excellence illustrate, diverse parking challenges call for creative solutions. One pioneers full automation in a compact space and uses recycled plastic bags and milk jugs in its construction. Another incorporates sand dunes to buffer a Dutch town from the North Sea. Several feature public green spaces that invite community. And all employ state-of-the-art solutions. Today's winning facilities and systems showcase innovation and technology,\" said IPI CEO Shawn Conrad, CAE. \"Limited space for parking is balanced by innovative design that knows no boundaries. Beauty, efficiency, and sustainability go hand-in-hand. Technology both enables a seamless parking experience and provides a tool for predicting and managing complex parking demands and operations. Parking facilities double as canvases for art and stages for public events.

THEY BOX ROCKS
Nowadays gabion baskets are also increasingly being used in non-traditional applications by architects and landscape architects, because the baskets bring the natural colour and texture of the rock to the fore, the rocks can be packed in simple symmetrical forms, and the baskets can be used as dividing walls. The baskets are now even used as pots for plants and trees, as well as for school playground benches. Their use is in fact only limited by lack of imagination, as Clinton Cheyne of Gabion Baskets (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg puts it. The experts at Gabion Baskets have in-depth experience of the use and vast application possibilities of gabions. Cheyne says they offer full turnkey solutions to their customers, including complete civil engineering design of structures with AutoCAD drawings and Bills of Quantities. They can also provide experienced gabion installation trainers for construction sites.

The impacts of new technologies on urban transformations
This paper concerns the impacts of new technologies on urban morphology, structure and landscape. More specifically, it investigates two aspects of impacts: (a) the change of urban morphology in contemporary cities by means of computer-aided architectural design and construction techniques, and (b) the shift of the spatial core and the expansion of the CBD in the post-industrial cities by means of the emerging new clusters of technology intensive and knowledge based firms in inner city areas. The research documents these impacts of new technologies by illustrating examples of metropolitan cities located in both the economic core and the periphery of Europe, such as Milan, Barcelona and Athens.
