The development of sustainable iconic projects is becoming a global phenomenon in recent years. These projects are producing attractive and convincing environmental images which serve globalization goals. Sustainable iconic projects are oriented to become an ecologically friendly tool that supports economy investments and tourism, by using the pote...

Development should take into account the needs of the present generation as well as the environment, economic, social and culture. The onslaught of globalization and technology impacts the development of a developing country, resulting in changes in culture, traditions and social life.

The aesthetic of our built environment is perceived as an important aspect to consider for the design of human-centred cities, but a problem quickly arises in the presence of clashing conceptions of what we understand to be aesthetically pleasing. This paper adds to this discussion, by exploring architects' aesthetic preferences in façade design, a...

This study aimed to examine the association between the neighborhood environment and domain-specific physical activity and sitting time in Brazilian adults. This cross-sectional study included 1803 adults (53.7% women) from Brazil’s five regions (North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and South). The perception of the environment was evaluated via a...
The paper aims to study the applicability of Lefebvre's everyday life theory “production of space” in Sheraton's in-between spaces upon local residents' daily practices. Space as Lefebvre said is a result and cause, product and producer. Sheraton District, Cairo comprises lots of underutilized spaces between buildings. The in-between spaces have gr...

... Importantly, design and project planning also touch the domain of monumental (i.e., iconic) architecture (Nicolai, 2013;Aatty & Slik, 2019;Elhagla et al., 2020). Projects of magnitude involve the design of iconic, visually striking structures that often utilize unique architectural and construction systems. ...
The development of information systems and technologies is important in ensuring the growth of countries. The construction industry, which is a kind of multiplier of living standards and economic development, must be provided with innovative technologies. The high quality of finished buildings plays a determinate role in defining the comfort and livability of properties, serving as key benchmarks for assessing real estate values per capita. Similarly, the development of commercial facilities holds significant sway over entrepreneurial activity and industrial infrastructure. These elements serve as barometers of a country’s economic growth and its competitiveness on both domestic and international scales. The introduction of information technology involves automated design, automation of operational processes directly during the construction and commissioning of the object, digitalization of management processes, and further maintenance of property already in operation. This chapter considers the principles of construction of automated design acceptance systems, which include visualization and automation of calculations in order to increase their accuracy and reliability. Mathematical modeling through the use of automated systems is performed in terms of practical engineering tasks, which allows an increase in accuracy of their quantitative estimates and qualitative characteristics. This is paramount when calculating building structures using modern software to provide design automation. The chapter is central to the postwar reconstruction of Ukraine, as it provides an overview of the software used in construction and analyzes specific projects that have provided solutions to complex engineering and architectural problems throughout the country. As such, the utilized application holds immense potential for aiding the country’s recovery once hostilities have ceased.
... The term "Bilbao effect" is widely used to describe the potential for iconic objects designed by famous architects to serve as catalysts for economic revitalization and transformation of the surrounding space (e.g., a housing estate, district, or even an entire city). Iconic buildings can act as stimuli for economic and cultural development [52], and even become models for good practice and current trends in construction, such as combining sustainable development with iconicity [53].

The practice of promoting an image of the city using architectural objects, and the need to identify or create architectural icons in urban spaces, outlined in this article, occurs in many cities worldwide. The city of Szczecin in Poland, the subject of this research, is no exception. The turbulent history of the city, which for years remained within the borders of Germany, makes it particularly worth analyzing in these terms because it shows the shifting popularity of architectural objects in the context of changing political, cultural, and economic conditions. The research presented here aims to identify iconic objects commonly exploited to build an image of Szczecin, assess their prominent features, and analyze changes over time in their popularity and use for these purposes. The historical and interpretive research was based on a detailed analysis of old and contemporary architectural objects of Szczecin depicted in postcards from the last hundred years, from the period spanning 1920 to 2023. The analysis covered several digital databases containing archival and contemporary postcards. This analysis enables the identification of the most popular objects, suggests the key characteristics of iconic buildings, and identifies four basic types of buildings, which are distinct in terms of purpose, message, and the specific image of the city to which each contributes. The duration of each type as a popular object, the strength of its impact on the city’s image, and its importance for the urban landscape are also identified. The research revealed that: architecturally iconic buildings are created concerning political, economic, and social conditions and the need to promote a specific image of the city, certain features contribute to a building’s potential as an architectural icon, and the strength of the building’s impact, its importance for the city landscape, and the possibility of creating a specific image depending on its iconic type.
... Contemporary, leading architects, following this trend, are articulating their architecture in the context of sustainability (Butera, 2005). Since 2000 there has been a trend for iconic architecture to attach its meaning to sustainability (Aatty and Slik, 2019). As such, it is also important to analyse and synthesise great architectural works from the past, like the JSB, in the light of sustainability. ...
Designed by American architect, Louis I. Kahn, the Jatio Sangsad Bhaban (JSB) or National Assembly Building of Bangladesh is a world-renowned iconic building situated in Bangladesh. Louis I. Khan was commissioned to design the JSB during the period before the term ‘sustainable’ was coined. In sustainable term it has controversial standing due to its cost, social and participatory aspects. However, it still stands as one of the masterpieces that represent hope and aspiration of the people of Bangladesh. This paper intends to look at the JSB through the lens of ‘sustainability’ to ascertain the degree of sustainability it has or has not achieved considering three tenets of sustainability, namely environmental, social and economic.
