Abstract Suichang County, Zhejiang Province, China, boasts a complex geographical setting and a long history, housing 25 national-level traditional villages with distinct spatial morphologies. However, previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of single factors (e.g., terrain) on village spatial morphology. Drawing on cultural ecology, this study selected 25 national traditional villages in the county as subjects and developed an indicator system encompassing 11 environmental, 4 cultural, and 10 spatial morphology indicators. Using methods including spatial design network analysis and Spearman correlation analysis, this study uncovered the mechanisms through which environmental and cultural factors influence the spatial morphology of traditional villages. The results indicate that environmental and cultural elements jointly shape traditional villages’ spatial morphology through distinct pathways. Terrain geomorphology constrains the regularity of architectural clusters and the complexity of alley networks. Climatic characteristics and hydrological conditions drive alley network connectivity and affect the coefficient of variation of direction. Population and transportation elements promote the expansion of traditional villages. The proximity of ancient roads is related to alley network connectivity and betweenness, while the ancestral hall centroid deviation affects the village’s morphological base. These findings provide technical support and planning guidance for the improved protection and utilization of similar traditional village heritage in southwestern Zhejiang.

ObjectiveThe low-altitude economy covers low-altitude manufacturing, flight operations, support services and comprehensive service industries, and has the characteristics of spatially three-dimensional, regional dependence, digital ecology, industrial integration and radiation driving. With the continuous development of digitization and informatization, these characteristics increasingly affect the interaction between low-altitude activities and urban and natural environments, which provides new ideas for the development of landscape architecture, and the coordinated development of the two is an important issue in the transformation of landscape architecture.MethodsThe knowledge map method was used to analyze the research status of environmental low-altitude economy at home and abroad. By combing and reading relevant literature at home and abroad, the research trends of low-altitude economy in logistics, aviation, ecological monitoring and other fields were systematically analyzed by reviewing literature research, case studies and comparative analysis. ResultsBy analyzing the domestic and foreign research, the internal mechanism of the cross research between landscape architecture and low-altitude economy is revealed four aspects. In the aspect of technology application, low-altitude aircraft tend to be transformed from perception tools to "design intelligence" which can guide ecological design and space construction. In the aspect of spatial planning, landscape architecture will realize the spatial transformation from plane extension to three-dimensional reconstruction under the development of low-altitude economy. In the aspect of ecological impact, the research focus has changed from identifying environmental risks by using low-altitude facilities to systematic assessment and control of ecology. In the aspect of humanistic experience, the combination of low-altitude economy and cultural narrative has further stimulated the vitality of landscape architecture discipline. It is found that under the influence of low-altitude economy, the development of landscape architecture faces some new problems, such as imperfect policies and regulations, insufficient adaptability of spatial planning system, systematic lack of ecological protection, technical bottleneck restriction, homogenization dilemma of cultural and tourism integration, including lack of unified standards for low-altitude facility design, traditional two-dimensional planning being difficult to meet the needs of air-space coordination, ecological destruction caused by noise and habitat disturbance, lack of ecological protection system, etc. There are technical bottlenecks in data processing and flight stability; homogenization of tourism products, focusing on tourism over cultural innovation. In order to promote the coordinated development of the two, this paper puts forward the implementation path of the integration of low-altitude economy and landscape architecture: to ensure the adaptation of policies and regulations, to improve policies and regulations and technical standards, to formulate low-altitude greening design and ecological evaluation standards, and to lay a foundation for the integration of landscape architecture and low-altitude economy; Conduct spatial value evaluation, clarify the use, development subject and income distribution mechanism of each low-altitude area, promote the market-oriented operation of public resources, and use unmanned aerial vehicles to carry out ecological background analysis and evaluate the ecological carrying capacity of low-altitude activities; Conduct functional compound planning, make landscape architecture break through the limitation of traditional ground perspective, bring low-altitude airspace into the vertical space system of landscape architecture, add low-altitude related infrastructure in the garden, and realize efficient coordinated utilization of airspace and ground resources; In ecological service monitoring, we should increase the investment in R&D of UAV technology, low-altitude aircraft noise reduction technology, flight safety guarantee technology, etc., improve the intelligent level of landscape architecture monitoring and management, and establish a new ecological assessment mode; Promote the integrated development of culture and tourism, break through the homogenization dilemma from three dimensions of cultural empowerment, spatial differentiation and experience depth, and integrate garden cultural elements into low-altitude experience links, to improve the overall operation effect. ConclusionBased on the research, we have drawn conclusions in three aspects. 1) The global low-altitude economy industry will become the next development hotspot, and it should accelerate the integration with transportation logistics, cultural tourism and other formats, expand more application scenarios, promote the integration of landscape architecture and related industries, and activate the new vitality of landscape architecture. 2) Green space and parks in cities will become important carriers for low-altitude transportation in the future, and planning and design of low-altitude composite public space will be the focus of research, and research will move from two-dimensional garden aesthetic space to three-dimensional traffic spatial pattern. 3) The development of unmanned aerial vehicle and related technologies provide refined intelligent solutions for intelligent garden management, and low-altitude monitoring data provide new tools for ecological value assessments of gardens, significantly improve ecological monitoring and management levels.

Contemporary nomadism is not limited to digital nomads, and can be motivated by work, monetary and social circumstances that do not cancel the need for a home: a physical and spatial context, foreign to the material detachment imposed by digitalism. The article will address the opposite of this later stance, in which dwellers struggle with the lack of identity when they deal with the absence of a home in which their personality is reflected (in the spatial layout and objects defining it). Something absent in digital nomadism, in which detachment is an inherent feature. This identity is anchored in the possibility of choice – space, objects, affections – which collides with the nomadic need for impermanence and ephemerality. We will dwell in architecture, design and art in search of a methodology capable of subverting the anonymity underlying nomadism and together defining a home: mobile spaces that move with the dweller or static spaces that suit different uses and expectations in the practical and sensory use of space; furniture encased in architecture or collapsible and portable; dematerialization and alternative media in contemporary art as means of expression. The purpose is to define a joint intervention practice which will allow the contemporary nomad to benefit from a physical but also sensory home, as in a sedentary dweller’s house, whose life remains as a legitime reference to those who need to be on the move.

ObjectiveAt this stage, Beijing’s urban development has entered an era of stock renewal, and urban landscaping has also shifted from “incremental expansion” to “stock quality improvement”. In this context, the concept of the capital as a “Garden City” has emerged. It is a new idea and strategy for the high-quality development of the capital, pointing out the direction for Beijing to build itself into a “world-class, harmonious and livable capital”. To better achieve the goal of “building the capital into a large garden”, Beijing has, based on its green resource endowments, designated 15 essence areas for Garden City building. The “Xiaoxishan – Three Hills and Five Gardens” area is one of the 15 essence areas designated in Beijing. With the continuous deepening of the “government affairs guarantee function” in recent years, the “Three Hills and Five Gardens” area has entered a new stage of stock optimization. At present, a new round of environmental improvement and upgrading actions is being promoted in this region. How to align with the current requirements for Garden City building and explore pathways for the renewal and quality enhancement of green spaces in the essence areas is of great significance for protecting and inheriting historical and cultural context, optimizing ecosystem service functions, improving the overall environmental quality, and enhancing the attractiveness and vitality of the essence areas.MethodsThis research interprets the content of Garden City building and analyzes the natural and humanistic advantages that make the “Xiaoxishan – Three Hills and Five Gardens” area designated as an essence area. On this basis, this research focuses on three types of green spaces in the essence areas that are closely integrated with recreational functions, namely Yuanwaiyuan, historical gardens, and greenways, and takes them as the research object. Corresponding strategies for renewal and quality improvement are proposed in a problem-oriented manner from three aspects: overall planning of the area, meticulous shaping of nodes, and linear connectivity.ResultsBy implementing the spatial coordination strategies of “overall area planning, meticulous node shaping, and linear connection”, the research aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of regional green spaces in essence areas. The objective of overall area planning is to achieve the integration and optimization of the Yuanwaiyuan area. It primarily adopts the following four strategies. 1) Shape landscape characters in different areas according to their respective landscape characteristics. 2) Dig deep into historical and cultural information in light of the current site conditions by methods of reproducing historical features and marking historical memories to realize the expression and presentation of historical cultural information. 3) Proceeding from ecological service functions and the actual usage needs of visitors, implement the “quantity reduction and quality improvement” strategy within green spaces. 4) Improve the recreational functions to enrich visitors’ experience. Meticulous node shaping, aiming at the green rebirth of historic famous gardens, mainly adopts the following three strategies. 1) Take the surrounding environment of historic gardens as an integral part of the green base of the “Three Hills and Five Gardens”, and ensure that such surrounding environment is consistent with the overall landscape of the “Three Hills and Five Gardens” in terms of spatial pattern and landscape style. 2) Enhance the quality of the historic gardens themselves. 3) Promote the activation and utilization of historic gardens to realize the transformation from a single “garden scene” to multiple “scenes”. The goal of linear connection is to energize greenway networks, and it primarily adopts the following three strategies. 1) Upgrade and enhance existing greenways. 2) Establish a greenway network system. 3) Create distinctive brand travel routes.ConclusionThe development of green space in the “Xiaoxishan – Three Hills and Five Gardens” essence area needs to break the traditional concept of “garden” and regard different types of green spaces as organic components of the green base. By establishing a three-level spatial strategy system of “surface-point-line”, we can promote the transformation of project practice from the mindset of “protection and development of a single garden” to “integration and optimization of regional green spaces”, thus enhancing regional landscape quality and cultural value to foster the synergistic coexistence of historic preservation and contemporary urban development.

This paper presents the development and structure of a geospatial (work in progress), architectural heritage database designed to document, interpret, and valorize Second World War military fortifications in Sardinia. Currently hosting over 1800 georeferenced entries—including bunkers, artillery posts, underground shelters, and camouflage systems—the database constitutes the analytical core of an interdisciplinary research framework that interprets these remnants as a coherent wartime palimpsest embedded in the contemporary landscape. By integrating spatial data, archival sources, architectural features, conservation status, camouflage typologies, and both analog and digital graphic representations, the system operates as a central infrastructure for multiscale heritage analysis. It reveals the interconnections between dispersed military structures and the wider territorial fabric, thereby laying the groundwork for landscape-based interpretation and site-specific reactivation strategies. More than a cataloging tool, the database serves as an interpretive and decision-making interface—supporting the generation of cultural itineraries, the identification of critical clusters, and the design of adaptive reuse scenarios. While participatory tools and community engagement will be explored in a second phase, the current methodology emphasizes landscape-oriented reuse strategies based on the perception, spatial storytelling, and contextual reading of wartime heritage. The methodological synergy between GIS, 3D modeling, traditional drawing, and archival research (graphic and photographic documents) contributes to a holistic vision of Sardinia’s wartime heritage as both a system of knowledge and a spatial–cultural resource for future generations.

With the impact of urbanization and other factors, the vernacular architectural heritage faces the problem of how to carry on and innovate for sustainable development with originality and authenticity in the process of redesigning and planning. Therefore, this study uses the visualization method of quantitative analysis to analyze the research trends and hot spots of domestic vernacular architecture and explore new ways of coexistence between vernacular architecture, subject perception and cultural ecology. The critical challenge of this study is to analyze the theoretical coupling action rule between the socio-cultural structure of emotions and the cultural ecosystem of vernacular architecture, drawing on the concept of cultural ecology and the reasoning method of transmission relations in logical deduction. The main contribution of this study is to propose the concept of a subjective-cultural ecological design system for the sustainable development of vernacular architecture, to establish a three-dimensional structural analysis design paradigm and an evaluation analysis matrix, and to make vernacular architecture present the self-renewal ability of continuous exchange and revision in the dynamic cycle of this design system. This study aims to provide a standardized and flexible design research framework for contemporary vernacular architecture’s innovation and sustainable development.

This paper critically examines the impacts of social media-based business on urban residential architecture in Dhaka, Bangladesh and joins the growing body of work in critical HCI. Based on a seven-month-long qualitative empirical study in Dhaka, this paper reports how Facebook commerce (F-commerce) drives many local women to actively engage in home-based businesses, which in turn, challenges the inherent spatial regulations of modern residential architecture. This paper also documents how F-commerce mediated transformations in residential spaces are promoting heterogeneous functions, re-surfacing traditional values, and altering orders and rationales that define modern housing. Drawing from a rich body of literature in urban housing architecture, critical theories around modernism, South-Asian feminism, and postcolonial computing, we explain how these spatial transformations and alterations are “appropriating” architectural design vocabularies. Our findings further explain how negligence toward such emerging needs often marginalizes the women spatially and economically, who are involved in F-commerce. We conclude with design implications to architecture and HCI to address these issues, and connect our findings to the broader agendas of Postcolonial HCI around diversity, inclusion, and global development.

This study investigated the current design circumstances of an office as well as employees’ perceptions of the office environment in relation to their perceived health, drawing on sense of coherence theory (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness). Previous studies have related the physical office environment to employee health. However, most studies have focused on alleviating negative effects, while health-promoting potential, including employee sense of coherence, has been overlooked. This study adopted a mixed method case study approach, combining semi-structured interviews with employees, structured observations, and analysis of architectural drawings. The results indicated that employees’ perceptions did not always align with the ideas behind the architectural design and that employees understood the environment differently. The study also highlighted the interrelations (and contradictions) among the different components of sense of coherence. The findings imply that organizations may need to prioritize which components of coherence should be supported most by the office environment. It also suggests that case-specific design aspects should play a more central role in studying and conceptualizing healthy office design and that design solutions should be continuously modified during the use phase, while ensuring employees’ participation. The study concluded that an ‘ideal’ office environment should not be the goal. Instead, office design should provide an environment in which employees are able to cope with challenges in comprehensible, manageable and meaningful ways.

When the dominion of the sacred is read against the light, what are the morphological and urban implications of spaces, architecture and religious presences that must give way to logics and policies that dominate them? As an interesting key study, we can analyse the demolition of the cathedral in Mondovì, a flourishing cultural centre in Piedmont, when it was decided to transform the magnificent temple into a military structure in 1573. The overall architectural and urban dimension of the building was totally transformed. The civil and religious architecture, that was consolidated in the post-Tridentine period, underwent disruptive transformations when the city was the seat of Bishop Michele Ghislieri (later Pius V). Mondovì was characterised by exceptional intellectual vivacity, if compared to other Piedmontese centers, with the university, an avant-garde typography, the Jesuit college. At a time when the choices and priorities regarding the urban vocation were renewed, new real estate and demographic dynamics were defined, linked to the resilience of religious orders and new social groups. This paper deals with the analysis and comparison between different documentary and iconographic sources, which are not a homogeneous corpus but allow the study of the religious presence in the city and the verification of urban policies. The essay also tries to focus on dynamics not yet explored and by direct comparison with other cities, in particular with Savona and its transformations after the loss of autonomy in 1528.

Sustainable Development Goals have become a key factor in the design in the twenty-first century. The relationship between the architectural and structural systems is becoming a matter of relevance for sustainable design. The search for minimum material consumption can be seen by drawing inspiration from the solutions found in Nature. The high efficiency of natural forms, has become a contribution to research on tree-like structures. The purpose of the research was to identify the main aspects of arboreal supporting structures shaping and optimization at the early state of design. The methodology is to optimize the geometry of dendriforms, based on optimizing the shape of the bending moment diagram and adjusting it to the shape of the final bar structure. The primary conclusion of the studies indicates that the structural and architectural optimization, implemented in an early stage of designing might significantly improve material consumption without substantial changes in architectural appearance.

Abstract This paper endorses the idea that the right to contest provided for by art. 22, § 3 GDPR, actually is the apex of a progressive set of tools the data subject has at his disposal to cope with automatic decisions and it should work as an architectural principle to create contestable systems. But in order to achieve that important role, it cannot be reduce to the right of human intervention, also provided for by art.22, § 3, nor to a generic opposition to the outcome of the automatic processing. Thus, drawing from a thorough analysis of the relationships among the rights included in art. 22, § 3 GDPR as well as from the juridical proper meaning of “contestatio”, it is concluded that the right to contest has its own proper nature as a hybrid substantial-processual right that is able to give concrete shape to all the other rights indicated in art. 22, § 3, included the much discussed right to explanation.

Mansard roofs get only an occasional mention in modern Dutch works on the history of building construction. The successful spread of mansard roofs came in two waves: in the seventeenth century, with an extension into the eighteenth, and in the second half of the nineteenth century. This article deals with both periods and addresses the question of how the development of this roof type in the Netherlands compares with that in neighbouring countries, concluding with its application in private houses in Amsterdam in the second half of the nineteenth century. Although the country of origin cannot be definitively determined, France’s leading part in the development and spread of this roof, in both the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is undisputed. The earliest documented example dates from 1546, long before the birth of François Mansart (1598-1666), who popularized the roof and so gave it his name. The reasons for preferring mansard roofs to the much older saddle roofs are both functional and architectural in nature. In the seventeenth century, large buildings with mansard roofs started to appear in England and Scotland, possibly under French influence; in Germany, after one or two early examples, the mansard roof gained ground from 1700 onwards. From the very beginning there was a wide variety of structures and roof pitches. Interestingly, the Germans preferred a steeper upper slope than the French and their roofs were often structurally heavier than their French counterparts. The mansard roof appeared early on in the Netherlands; it is possible that the broken roof on the Amsterdam Bushuis from 1550 is the earliest example. Under the Republic, despite a few seventeenth-century specimens, the mansard roof only really started to take off in the course of the eighteenth century, notably on large and prominent buildings. In the nineteenth century the mansard roof was used on a large scale on urban residential buildings. Once again, France was the instigator of a wave of mansard roofs that on this occasion spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In Paris in particular this resulted in a roofscape dominated by the mansard roof. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the first rapidly and cheaply built housing blocks started to spring up in Amsterdam. In many of the urban expansion schemes such blocks were given continuous roofs with a ridge line parallel to the building line. Although a light-weight structure was used for the mansard roof in the second half of the nineteenth century, probably to save on material and costs, there were many variations in appearance. Characteristic features of the mansard roof gradually disappeared between 1860 and 1920, until a virtually vertical structure with a flat roof remained.
