Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Architectural Programming: Current Status and Future Directions

Image
Architectural programming has long served as a vital pre-design phase that shapes the quality, efficiency and success of construction projects. As socioeconomic systems evolve rapidly, programming has expanded beyond its traditional architectural boundaries and increasingly interacts with diverse disciplines. This interdisciplinary expansion underscores the growing need to integrate technological, social, environmental and managerial dimensions into early project planning. The present study aims to capture this evolving landscape through a comprehensive scientometric analysis and systematic review, offering a deeper understanding of current trends and future opportunities within architectural programming research. Growth and Evolution of Architectural Programming Research The global research landscape on architectural programming has shown remarkable growth, with publications increasing exponentially between 1975 and 2024. This surge is especially pronounced in the past decade, refl...

Architectural Aesthetics, Cultural Interaction, and Local Agency in Rural In-Migration Contexts

Image
Rural in-migration is reshaping the visual and cultural landscape of many rural regions, often introducing new architectural aesthetics that influence the built environment. These changes have raised important questions about how local communities respond to the arrival of rural in-migrants and the architectural preferences they bring. Understanding whether locals adopt, resist, or reinterpret these external influences is vital for interpreting broader patterns of rural gentrification. This study positions architectural taste as a cultural indicator that reflects deeper social dynamics, offering a foundation for examining the complex interaction between migrants and long-term residents. Theoretical Foundation: Integrating Rural In-Migration and Acculturation To analyze the cultural consequences of rural in-migration, the study develops a two-dimensional matrix framework combining rural in-migration theory with acculturation theory. This integrative model helps clarify how aesthetic ...

Innovative Approaches for Assessing Energy Performance in Existing Buildings

Image
  Existing buildings often exhibit a notable performance gap between predicted and actual energy efficiency due to limited knowledge about their thermal envelope, physical characteristics, and hidden defects. Understanding these parameters is crucial for developing cost-efficient retrofit strategies that reduce operational costs and carbon emissions. This study emphasizes the importance of on-site measurements and advanced diagnostic methods to enhance energy performance evaluations and support sustainable building practices. Challenges in Assessing Existing Building Performance Accurately evaluating the energy performance of existing buildings is hindered by incomplete or unreliable structural data. Hidden defects, variations in material properties, and deterioration over time contribute to discrepancies between modeled predictions and actual energy usage. These uncertainties make it difficult to design effective retrofits, highlighting the need for more precise assessment tech...

High-Performance Glass Pervious Concrete: Material Innovation, Structural Optimization, and Sustainability Evaluation

Image
The recycling of waste glass presents a promising yet underutilized opportunity in sustainable construction materials due to challenges associated with alkali–silica reaction (ASR). This study introduces a comprehensive approach to developing high-performance glass pervious concrete (HPGPC), integrating material innovation, structural optimization, and multi-dimensional sustainability assessment. By combining waste glass powder in ultra-high-strength mortar and introducing a reinforced ternary composite cover, the research addresses both durability and load-bearing limitations typically found in pervious concrete applications. Material Design Using Waste Glass Powder for Enhanced Bonding A central focus of the research lies in the development of an ultra-high-strength mortar formulated with waste glass powder, aimed at improving aggregate bonding within HPGPC. This innovative material design strategy allows the integration of up to 20% waste glass aggregates while maintaining compre...

Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Architectural Design: Global Trends, Gaps, and Future Directions

Image
Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Architectural Design (AI4SAD) has emerged as a transformative force addressing global pressures such as resource depletion, climate vulnerabilities, and widening urban health disparities. As architecture shifts from experience-based to intelligence-driven methods, AI provides a powerful pathway toward evidence-based, optimized, and environmentally conscious design. This study synthesizes insights from 408 global publications to examine how AI contributes to sustainability goals across different stages of architectural design, revealing both the potential and challenges associated with its adoption. Global Spatiotemporal Landscape of AI4SAD A systematic review of existing literature highlights a rapidly expanding global research footprint, with notable growth over the past decade. The distribution of studies demonstrates significant geographical clustering, where technologically advanced regions contribute heavily to algorithmic development, whil...
