Abstract:
Timber, a traditional construction material that was almost forgotten. Timber structure building got a qualitative leap in structure form, mechanized producing craftmanship and matching products, along with social progress and technology improvement. This paper will summarize modern timber structure forms by comparison with popular constructional material, like concrete and steel, in five aspects including life-cycle energy consumption, structure form, construction cost, construction period, seismic performance. Timber's advantages and disadvantages in architectural design will be listed, which may provide theoretical basis for diversified choice of construction materials in architectural design.

Abstract:
Before the advent of reinforced cement concrete and steel structures in the 20th century, structures like Arches, domes and vaults were being widely used worldwide. Arches were mainly used in span openings replacing beams. This was done based on the erstwhile cultural aesthetics and technical development in the prevailing construction methodologies. Nowadays, about 35 to 40 percentage of the total construction cost is being consumed by steel and concrete and therefore constructing a building without steel and concrete contributes to reduction in cost. Vaults and arches do not require concrete and steel but use only bricks and hence environment friendly. This paper deals with the design and construction procedure for structural members including the vault and buttress wall. It also highlights the reduction in cost when adopting vault method over conventional methods, in a residential building. The Vault prototype has been made with the studied design and concepts. The idea is to introduce this technique as a cost reduction approach and to preserve this ancient construction technique. Also, this method will be economical for construction of low cost houses up to two storeys.

Abstract:
From the first quarter of the 18th century, an expansion to European civilization was beginning in Ottoman Empire and with Tanzimat period, this westernization fact had transformed to a fundamental innovation act in the structure of the state and society. European capital image gained by İstanbul created a symbolic view of change. However, a contradiction of traditional urban tissue, consisted by the timber buildings, necessitated a fundamental change in the urban and architectural structure. According to this aim, new building types which were necessary for the Tanzimat reforms (a period of time of political reforms during the Ottoman sultanate of Abdulmecid (r.1839-61) began to be constructed by the European architectural design models, with modern building materials and production technologies. In this context, construction technologies like jack arches, steel framework, fer-concrete and reinforced concrete, which are formed with structural materials like modern brick, iron beam, and concrete, are the factors of formation of the historical development process of the Ottoman architecture after the first years of the 19th century. From the middle of 19th century, use of the “steel beam” was beginning in the building product technology, depending on the evolution of the industrial metal technology in European countries. Technological level of the steel construction after “Jack Arch”, which is formed with the iron beam, has brought new expansions to the building production. As from the first years of the 20th century, buildings constructed by steel construction technology began to take place in Ottoman architecture. In this paper, the place of the steel-framed building technology in Ottoman architecture, especially the steel frame construction in the Tanzimat period buildings and their architectural design criteria will be presented. Besides, the conclusions based on the comparisons of structural and architectural design with the European architecture buildings will be indicated. “Metro Khan”, dated 1914, is the first building that was erected with this construction technology. This building is constructed as an administration and station building of the under ground train, named “Tünel”, which connects Pera and İstanbul Seaport. This paper traces the importance of the building in terms of conservation and cultural values, while benefiting from its characteristic architecture and static projects.

Abstract:
Purpose This study evaluates the enablers and barriers for modular concrete construction in Lebanon. The purpose of this paper is to investigate various factors (time, cost, technical know-how, organizational, sustainability, etc.) and their influence on the choice of the construction method. The paper examines the different assessments of designers, manufacturers, and contractors regarding precast construction in comparison to traditional in-situ methods, and highlights the major differences in their views. Design/methodology/approach Structured face-to-face surveys were conducted with top management personnel of precast manufacturers, architectural and engineering firms, and contracting companies in Lebanon. In addition, a case study from the largest precast project in Lebanon was used to provide a deeper understanding of factors encouraging the use of precast concrete, and to highlight major onsite issues associated with its implementation. Findings On the one hand, the findings highlight technical, logistical, organizational, and cultural factors that inhibit the use of precast concrete as a construction method. On the other hand, results reveal that cost, time, sustainability, and flexibility factors are the main enablers for increasing the uptake of modular concrete construction. Originality/value The main contribution to knowledge is that this study presents different stakeholders’ perspectives on precast concrete construction. Moreover, this is the first research addressing precast concrete construction in the Middle East and Lebanon. The results of the study provide valuable global insights and recommendations that may help increase the uptake of precast concrete construction. They can also guide project stakeholders to properly match project characteristics and precast concrete as a construction method.

Abstract:
Folded structures are three-dimensional structures - spatial structures and they belong to the structural systems. The term folded structure defines a folded form of construction, including structures derived from elements which form a folded structure by their mutual relationship in space. For very long time this type of construction has been realized in practice only in of reinforced concrete and made on site, which conditioned the use of a very complicated shell. Development of prefabricated building led to improvements of this type of construction so that the folded structures could be derived by assembly of prefabricated elements and their relationship - monolithization on site. Development of the research of folded structures, starting from their earliest days to today, followed the innovations and latest developments in terms of applied materials and methods of connection. The tendency for the cost effective and quicker construction pushed the folded structures made in reinforced concrete, and led to the construction realized in wood, steel and other modern materials that eventually experienced expansion.

Abstract. In Fayoum, the largest oasis in the Egyptian western desert, the modern Lahun village was developed close by the ancient mud-brick Lahun Pyramid in the 19th Century. The architecture of Lahun village followed its ancestors’ architecture. Until 2003, a mix of mud and stone vernacular houses were dominant in the village. In 2010, 35% of the houses at Lahun main street, which leads to the pyramid site, were of mud brick/stone houses, the rest was replaced by high-rise concrete buildings. By 2019, little traces of the traditional vernacular dwellings survived a massive movement to concrete construction. In the last 15 years, the skyline of the village has completely transformed. Lahun’s loss of its vernacular architecture is not an exception, except in one case: Tunis village where a pottery school for locals, started 30 years ago, to change the future of Tunis, where traditional architectural techniques have taken an important place in contemporary constructions. What are the local needs when they decide to replace their traditional houses with concrete? What is the impact of the pyramid’s recent re-opening on the village? What should be learned from Tunis village? Could what remained from the aspects of the Lahun vernacular heritage be used to reverse the loss of the tangible architectural aspects? Is new architecture that is sympathetic to the traditional vernacular character of the village a solution?

Glass fibre reinforced concrete is a material which found its undisputable place in architecture and construction industry. Architecture has been using its creativity potential at building atypical elements of a specific building and the needed detail. This specific material enables unusual geometrical shapes, curves and surfaces. It is able to create custom-made original works. It is not a material which is used to make the products competitive with their price and serial production etc. It wants to be original, offers new challenges and provide new forms of its application to the people. The paper describes selected glass fibre reinforced concrete products which can serve as examples of new components creation to the producers and architects.

Abstract:
<p> Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world, and Portland Cement is the most commonly used cement in the industry. The manufacturing of materials is dependent on research and industry specification standards. This report focuses on current innovations in concrete developments, with a specific emphasis on Aluminosilicate or &lsquo;geopolymer&rsquo; cements and their possible implications on the evolution of a sustainable architecture in the United States. </p><p> Aluminosilicate cements are currently being researched worldwide and have been implemented in various countries as a replacement for portland cement. It is one of many sustainable cement solutions, but unlike others, provides enhanced characteristics while remaining in the same price range as ordinary portland cement mixtures. This technology uses no limestone or water, thus eliminating the need for high amounts of energy use in the production of its initial ingredients. </p><p> Introducing new construction materials is challenging, especially to a well-established concrete industry such as that of the United States. Precast concrete offers an ideal medium for new concrete materials and their introduction into common practice due to the ability for tight controls. As more sustainable and durable materials are becoming available, construction processes can change and have the ability to affect the future evolution of architectural design. This report articulates these advancements and the importance of architectural involvement within the United States construction industry.</p>

Abstract:
Bâtir de villes face à la surpopulation tout en prenant en compte les changements climatiques, demandera de faire appel à des solutions concrètes pour répondre aux besoins sanitaires, sécuritaires et biophiliques de leurs habitants. Le but de cette thèse est d'évaluer la possibilité d'avoir un système de mur vivant qui soit durable, écologiquement juste, non limité par la localisation et la typologie du bâtiment et plus abordable que les systèmes actuellement disponibles. L'hypothèse de cette thèse est le béton, en raison de sa durabilité, son coût et son ubiquité, a le potential pour être utilisé comme un moyen de croissance pour la vie végétale et qu'il s'agit actuellement du matériau le plus réaliste pour étendre la portée de la nature dans le milieu urbain.La thèse est pluridisciplinaire et il faudra combiner les connaissances des sciences de la botanique et des matériaux, connaissances qui seront appréhendées au travers d'un prisme architectural. Ce point de vue influencera la trajectoire de la conception future du système, par exemple pour déterminer si le système pourrait être structurel et utilisé pour l'intérieur et l'extérieur des bâtiments bas, moyens et hauts, ou encore quelles ambiance architecturales et urbaines il est susceptible de créer. Cette thèse de doctorat déterminera la faisabilité des systèmes de murs vivants en béton et, si elle est validée, fournira la base pour des solutions durables de murs vivants en béton<br>Cities facing overpopulation amid shifting climates will require practicable solutions to meet the biophilic, health, and safety needs of city dwellers. The goal of this thesis is to determine the possibility of having a living wall system which is durable, environmentally sustainable, unlimited by location and building typology, and more affordable than currently available systems. The hypothesis of this thesis is that concrete,due to its durability, cost, and ubiquity, is capable of being used as a growing medium for plant life and is currently the most realistic material choice to significantly extend nature’s reach into the urban milieu. The thesis is multi-disciplinary and combines botany and material science, but architecture is the lens throughwhich the inter-disciplinary work is validated. This architectural lens will influence the trajectory of future system design, e.g., in determining if the system would have the potential of being structural and used for the interiors and exteriors of low, mid, and high-rise buildings. This doctoral thesis would determine the feasibility of concrete living wall systems and if validated provide the foundation for sustainable concrete living wall solutions

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture and Planning, 1997.<br>Includes bibliographical references (v. 3, leaves 470-517).<br>This dissertation is an historical inquiry into the role played by new building materials in the formation of architectural modernism in France. It proceeds on the theoretical assumption that a "material" is not a technical given -- a securely defined entity in the physical and linguistic senses -- but an architectural construct whose "inherent properties" are a matter of interpretation. It suggests that within a specific architectural culture, the conceptions and uses of a material are defined by concerns that are not only constructional but involve architectural doctrines, building practices, aesthetic projects, and cultural strategies. Since the publication of Sigfried Giedion's Bauen in Frankreich. Bauen in Eisen. Bauen in Eisenbeton (1928), reinforced concrete has been commonly accepted as the common denominator of French modernism. The dissertation questions this interpretive assumption, focusing on the changing conceptions of the material as an index of transformations in French architecture and architectural culture. It covers a period that spans from the Universal Exhibition of 1889 to the early 1930s, a period which saw the development of reinforced concrete in French architecture, from its emergence within architectural discourses to its inscription within early modernist historiography. Through a close examination of contemporary books and periodicals, unpublished sources, and graphic documents, the dissertation explores the theories and works that framed the critical relationship of new material to French modernism. Inaugurated with the late nineteenth-century demise of metal as the leading material in architectural theory, the preeminence of reinforced concrete in French architecture was marked by the dispersion of rationalist tenets into competing architectural programs. The First World War was a pivotal event in this process. Of principal importance were the positions of Auguste Perret and Le Corbusier. While Perret insisted on continuity with prewar practices, emphasizing the role of craft production, Le Corbusier embraced the rupture brought about by the societe machinique, shifting towards the idea of industrialized construction. These positions were key to the technical and aesthetic definition of the modem house, from the function of the concrete frame to the nature of external revetments. They also led the way to the cultural and ideological debates that ensued on the nationality of the material and the sources of modem architecture. In the late 1920s the return of metal merely underscored the "rhetoric of materials" in the definition of French modernism.<br>by Réjean Legault.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:
Investiga-se através da atuação de grandes firmas construtoras no Brasil o desenvolvimento de novos sistemas construtivos, em particular do concreto armado, como um dos fatores protagonistas da modernização da arquitetura entre 1922 e 1937. Intenta-se examinar os diversos programas construtivos, através da premissa da técnica, e suas inferências na realização arquitetônica. Busca-se tomar conhecimento de uma práxis calcada na verdade construtiva e no diálogo entre o arquiteto e o engenheiro. Parte-se do entendimento de novo fenômeno que interferiu na forma de projetar a arquitetura, alterando sua concepção e provocando a cisão entre a técnica e a arte. A modernização urbana teve como características: a concentração das principais atividades modernas nos núcleos urbanos, a reforma dos espaços das cidades para adequá-las aos novos labores e a mudança da percepção ambiental através de novos meios de comunicação, transporte e infraestrutura. A fundamentação desse cenário permite nos abarcar o processo de inserção das construtoras estrangeiras no Brasil. Para tanto, pretende-se compreender a constituição do conhecimento sobre o concreto armado seja no âmbito da engenharia brasileira, seja na da arquitetura. Sabe- se que três temas correntes faziam parte do repertório dessa cultura técnica: a racionalidade, o uso diferenciado dos sistemas modernos de construção e a criação de novas formas. Essas firmas especializadas no sistema construtivo eram verdadeiros campos de experimentação e, consequentemente, de formação de profissionais capazes de criar nova estética advinda da técnica. A atuação de alguns desses profissionais vem sendo tratada por outros trabalhos, mas uma lacuna permanece: o papel das empresas construtoras na modernização da arquitetura brasileira. Com base no estudo de acervos, como o da construtora de origem dinamarquesa Christiani & Nielsen e de empresas construtoras de origem alemãs atuantes na Argentina e no Brasil, esta tese incorpora, além dos objetivos já revelados, também a identificação de profissionais da construção pouco reconhecidos e suas ações nas atitudes modernizadoras do Brasil do século 20.<br>It has been investigated, through the performance of the largest construction companies in Brazil, the development of new building systems, particularly of the reinforced concrete, as a major contributing factor for the modernization of architecture between 1920 and 1940. The objective is to analyze the various construction programs, their technical premises, and their interferences in the architectural achievement, seeking the awareness of a practice based on the constructive truth and on the dialogue between architect and engineer. The starting point is the understanding of a new phenomenon, which has interfered in the way of designing the architecture, changing its notion, and inducing the division between technology and art. The urban modernization had as characteristics: the concentration of the main modern activities in the urban core, the restructure of city spaces to fit them to new labors and changes in environmental perception through the new media, transportation, and infrastructure. The fundamental principals of this scenario allow us to embrace the process of insertion of foreign construction companies in Brazil. For this, the intention is to understand the nature of the knowledge about reinforced concrete in the scope of either, Brazilian engineering or architecture. It is known that three current themes were part of the repertoire of this technical culture: the rationale, the differential use of modern building systems, and the creation of new forms. These specialized firms in the building system were real fields for experimentation and, consequently, of formation of professionals capable of creating a new aesthetic emerged from the technique. The performance of some of these professionals has already been addressed by other works, but a gap remains: the role of construction companies in the modernization of Brazilian architecture. Based on studies of collections, such as the one from Danish contractor Christiani & Nielsen, and construction companies originated in Germany and operating in Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, this thesis includes, besides the already revealed objectives, the identification of construction professionals barely recognized, and their actions towards the attitudes for Brazilian modernization in the 20th century.

Abstract:
La thèse porte sur l'industrialisation du logement en France (1885-1970), de la construction légère et démontable à la construction lourde et architecturale. L'objet de cette thèse se place à l'interface de quatre grands sujets : l'existence de l'industrialisation avant la seconde guerre mondiale, la politique technique du ministère de la Reconstruction et de l'Urbanisme (MRU), les projets réalisés après la seconde guerre mondiale dont on applique les méthodes d'industrialisation imposées par l'Etat, et les principes de la charte d'Athènes. La période d'étude s'étend de 1885, premier témoin européen de l'industrialisation du bâtiment, à 1970 année de remise en cause de ce type de construction. l'industrialisation du bâtiment a des racines très anciennes, elle croît d'abord parmi les militaires, pour les besoins de la conquête coloniale, des campagnes, des guerres qui enflamment l'Europe. La cabane de plage ou la baraque de villégiature, la tente de toile, l'auvent de marché, sont autant de figures constructives qui prolifèrent en fin du XIXe siècle. Surtout, les expéditions coloniales menées tambours battants exigent rapidité, sécurité, capacité : la baraque est la solution industrielle. L'industrialisation se poursuit, non plus légère mais lourde. Elle est pour l'Etat la principale voie car elle diminue le prix de revient de la construction, réduit les interventions et améliore le confort des logements. A partir de 1945, l'Etat français nouveau investit dans la partie la plus sinistrée, encourage les innovations basées sur l'emploi de matériaux et de techniques en instituant l'agrément technique des " matériaux nouveaux et des procédés non traditionnels de construction ". Dans la première partie de cette recherche, nous avons essayé de montrer qu'il y a bien une industrialisation du bâtiment avant la seconde guerre mondiale. L'industrialisation occupe " brutalement " la construction légère dans les années 1890. La baraque démontable et transportable, militaire, ambulante devient l'objet de compétitions, de confrontations, d'intérêts guerriers en Europe de l'ouest. Des dizaines de modèles sont préfabriqués et montés en arrière des champs de batailles ou en prévision des conquêtes territoriales. Dans un second temps nous avons choisi de continuer l'histoire de la construction lourde dans l'après guerre, spécifiquement la construction du logement. Par conséquent nous avons choisi d'étudier deux projets remarquables de la période juste après la seconde guerre mondiale. 1- Le projet de la cité expérimentale de Noisy-le-Sec : au travers de ce projet l'Etat a essayé de tester les procédés et matériaux nouveaux permettant d'utiliser moins de matières premières et d'énergie, de simplifier la mise en œuvre, de faire connaître ces nouveautés pour faire de la technique une technologie et contribuer à l'amélioration de l'habitat (confort intérieur, équipement). Pour ce faire, il importe des procédés et impose des changements de rythme et d'échelle. 2- le projet des Grands Terres : Le chantier des Grands Terres doit être considéré comme le premier chef d'œuvre de préfabrication lourde de logements. Ce projet affirme aussi une nouvelle façon de penser la ville et son rapport à l'habitat, il est une des applications réussies de la Charte d'Athènes, bible de l'urbanisme de Lods, et une référence pour les évolutions urbaines des décennies 60 et 70. Enfin, pour élaborer cette recherche académique j'ai pris le parti "chronologique" " : 1885-1940 "la construction légère et démontable", 1940-1970, "la préfabrication lourde et indémontable", 1945-1953 " la cité d'expérience de Noisy-le-Sec", 1952-1956, "le modèle achevé le plus réussi des grands opérations, le projet des Grandes Terres".

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture; and, (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. [153]-155).<br>What can a building material tell us about a city? As the most widely used structural building material in the world, reinforced cement concrete shapes the urban form of several of our largest megacities Sao Paulo, Cairo, Karachi and Mumbai, to name a few. The predominant building form concrete takes in these cities, is of the concrete frame. This dissertation traces the emergence of the concrete frame as the preferred form taken by reinforced concrete in widespread urban applications, over a myriad of sculptural possibilities that the material offers. Proceeding from the assertion that the manifestation of form reveals to us the condition of its production, in other words the built environment of the city can tell us about the society that inhabits it - I investigate what I call the ethos of concrete in Mumbai as a way of understanding the state of some aspects of the city's society. It must be emphasized that I look specifically at ethos of production rather than reception of concrete framed buildings in the city of Mumbai. The findings of this thesis are both its method of investigation and its discoveries. The frame is seen as the form concrete takes in Mumbai; hence for the scope of this thesis, the frame is concrete in Mumbai. Using the concrete frame as a heuristic device to investigate the production of urban form in the city, the thesis constructs a narrative of the physical formation of buildings that make the urban form of Mumbai. The frame is investigated at two scales, the terrain of the city, and level of the singular building. The ethos of concrete here is its spatial ethos and its productive ethos, each of which are seen at the scale of the city and the building.<br>(cont.) The spatial ethos at the building level tell us about the evolution of the space between individual buildings and the genesis of gatedness in concrete apartment buildings in India, as well as well the development of bye laws which govern the form buildings can take in the city. The spatial ethos at the scale of the city tells us about the relation between land subdivision and the spread of the frame on older patterns of land holdings in the city. We find that the Concrete frame buildings occur in areas that have previously had larger plots, or on reclaimed land, while dense areas in the central part of the island city with small individual land holdings do not have many concrete buildings. The ethos of production at the scale of the city characterizes it as a "topological field" utilized for the serial production of the concrete frame as a lucrative commercial entity. This field of the city's plan on which the extrusion of concrete buildings takes place is seen the basis of the "chaotic" appearance of the city. And the productive ethos at the scale of buildings, seen as the generation of aesthetic design, shows us how the planimetric basis of the city is overcome by its buildings to invent new visual orders. Finally the productive ethos at the scale of the building is seen as the work of architects, developers and labourers involved in the construction of the concrete buildings in the city. While the vast availability of informal labour perpetuates the use of concrete at the level of the structure of the building - I have found that a hybrid practice of professional architectural design and informal artisanal labour enables the reinvention of the generic concrete frame in the city - hence allowing it to periodically reappear in new incarnations.<br>(cont.) In conclusion the paradox of the material of concrete is that it enables both perpetuation and reinvention, Its plasticity enabling newer facades to be applied to the same underlying frame, and its labour conditions facilitating upward mobility for the middle classes while reinforcing its own entrenchment at the bottom of the productive order.<br>by Priyanka Shah.<br>M.C.P.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
Abstract3D concrete printing (3DCP) has been successfully and widely applied in the fields of civil structure, infrastructure, architectural decoration etc.,due to its unique advantages of automation and flexibility, and has shown great potential for development. One of the key steps in the execution of 3DCP is the tool-path planning process. However, 3DCP typically utilize the flowable composite materials which changes with time, and it is easy to induce interface joints or filling defects due to uneven path distribution when constructing the irregular-shaped construction. To solve the problem of printing path planning in 3DCP, this paper proposes tool-path planning based on mapping method, which integrates the rheology and necessary continuity of concrete materials into the printing process parameters, improves the mutual adaptability of printing process and material characteristics, improves the continuity of printing, the compactness of filling, and then ensures the stability and durability of printing structure.

Abstract:
With the advancement of full scale 3d printing technology, industrialized building construction is rapidly moving towards a highly process-idiosyncratic and expressionist architecture of material sausages. Drawing connections between local vernacular (ancient modern) earth construction techniques and automated additive manufacturing strategies, this paper explores the potential for 3d printed architecture across the Americas, dissecting the technology’s ecological advantages and architectural possibilities in the process.

Abstract:
The following critical text proposes a series of notes and reflections on the reinforced concrete architecture, not on the material itself. Since its invention, concrete has combined two potentialities, deriving from the two materials of which it is composed: the ‘elastic’ potential, which has been developed and has reached a consolidated form and tradition, and the ‘plastic’ one. The last one has been little experienced at the beginning and, in the course of recent history of architecture, has found space in architectural criticism in the meaning of "expressive", "brutalist", "sculptural", ending up to influence 'superficially' (related to the surface) of architecture. The 'plastic' architecture, instead, is three-dimensional and unifies the construction and spatial qualification in a single design gesture. This critical approach not only allows reconsidering the history of modern/contemporary architecture starting from the necessary collaboration between space and construction that unifies the final judgment on the works, but allows influencing the project, adhering to a formative process of those geographic-cultural areas that possess those certain characters, the masonry one. The Spanish "plastic" architecture is, in that sense, a clear example: in many buildings this "masonry" character is clearly identified, due to the architectural exploitation of the reinforced concrete plastic potential.

Abstract:
The need to conduct complex operations over time results in U.S. forces remaining in deployed locations for long periods. In such cases, more sustainable facilities are required to better accommodate and protect forward deployed forces. Current efforts to develop safer, more sustainable operating facilities for contingency bases involve construction activities that redesign the types and characteris-tics of the structures constructed, reduce the resources required to build, and reduce resources needed to operate and maintain the com-pleted facilities. The Automated Construction of Expeditionary Structures (ACES) project was undertaken to develop the capability to “print” custom-designed expeditionary structures on demand, in the field, using locally available materials with the minimum number of personnel. This work investigated large-scale automated “additive construction” (i.e., 3D printing with concrete) for construction applications. This document, which documents ACES energy and modeling, is one of four technical reports, each of which details a major area of the ACES research project, its research processes, and associated results, including: System Requirements, Construction, and Performance; Energy and Modeling; Materials and Testing; Architectural and Structural Analysis.
