🌞 Machine Learning for Smart Solar Building Performance Analysis

Image
 As the demand for sustainable energy solutions continues to grow, photovoltaic-integrated buildings (PIBs) have emerged as an effective approach to combining renewable energy generation with modern architectural design. These buildings incorporate solar photovoltaic systems directly into building structures, enabling clean energy production while reducing dependence on conventional power sources. However, maintaining accurate performance records over long periods can be challenging due to missing, incomplete, or inconsistent data collected from monitoring systems. Machine learning-driven data reconstruction offers a powerful solution to this challenge. By utilizing advanced algorithms, researchers can identify patterns within historical datasets and accurately estimate missing information. This process enhances the quality and reliability of performance records, allowing building operators and researchers to gain deeper insights into energy generation, system efficiency, and opera...

Performativity of Design Artefacts in Architectural Decision-Making Processes

Image
Architectural design is not merely a sequence of technical decisions but a complex process shaped by interactions among actors, tools, and representations. This study investigates how design documents, understood as visual artefacts, actively influence decision-making processes within architectural practice. Moving beyond traditional views that treat drawings and models as passive outputs, the research positions them as dynamic agents capable of mediating conflicts, aligning perspectives, and guiding outcomes. By focusing on the development of an urban university campus masterplan, the study frames design artefacts as critical instruments in navigating complexity and uncertainty in contemporary architectural projects. Theoretical Foundations: Actor-Network Theory and Architectural Ethnography The research builds upon Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and architectural ethnography to conceptualize design processes as networks of human and non-human actors. Within this framework, design artef...

Building Lift-Up Design as a Climate-Responsive Strategy for Urban Ventilation and Microclimate Optimization.

Image
Building lift-up design, a vernacular architectural strategy commonly found in tropical climates, involves elevating structures above ground level using columns. Traditionally used to improve ventilation and reduce heat gain, this feature has also been incorporated into modern buildings in tropical and subtropical cities. Despite its long-standing presence, only recent research has systematically examined its influence on urban microclimates. This study reviews the environmental performance of lift-up design across multiple scales, from individual buildings to complex urban configurations. Vernacular Origins and Contemporary Applications Historically, lift-up structures were developed as adaptive responses to hot and humid climates, allowing airflow beneath buildings while reducing exposure to ground moisture and heat. In contemporary architecture, this strategy has been reinterpreted in large-scale urban projects and landmark buildings. However, the transition from vernacular to mod...
