This paper aimed to develop a multisensory approach in university campus, based on quantitative and qualitative approaches, investigating sense walk experiences (thermo-visual sound walk) under interactions of luminous, thermal, auditory environments. The study was conducted October 2021, Chetma campus Biskra city, southern Algeria, which remains famous oasis settlement arid regions over the country. A comparative correlation analysis performed between physical dimensions collected through...
In the last few decades, sustainability had been introduced as one of major concepts design. It is key to preserve a safe future for our communities. This concept introduces many techniques that change way read urban configuration heritage search main parameters in space manage relation between designers think; it changes also and architectural environment. First we try behavior. study has aim create model analyzing support behavior generator social through preserving traditional values. The...
In the early stages of building design, decisions are made about building’s form and envelope, but designers rarely base their on sophisticated energy simulations, even though these features critical to a performance. This paper employs three methods—empirical, parametric, uncertainty—to assess interconnectedness form, orientation, occupancy regarding thermal comfort consumption for heating cooling residential across regions: Gdyel (mediterranean climate), Oum El Bouaghi, Constantine...
La morphologie des villes coloniales au Maghreb se caractérise par certaines similarités liées à leur histoire commune. On y trouve une Médina, ayant souvent subi quelques altérations, ville coloniale établie selon un tracé haussmannien, et extensions nouvelles constituées de grands ensembles. Cette agrégation trois types tissus urbains bien distincts contribue caractère discontinu fragmenté ces villes. Notre étude vise analyser cette configuration urbaine dans le contexte spécifique d'une...
The object of our study is to evaluate the effect urban geometry on microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort. In this context, “the RayMan pro 2.1” software was adopted define UTCI index applying in hot arid climates, exactly, fabric Ksar Red Village, El Kantara Biskra city, Algeria, most efficient term summer comfort by studying real impacts form solar control microclimatic conditions. correlation between street estimated ratio H/L, sky view factor (SVF), its orientation evolution physical...
Abstract Medieval mosques in Algeria represent an important architectural heritage that deserves to be identified, studied and preserved. Considering the period spanning 7th 15th centuries, this study investigated medieval Algeria, spatially socially, identify genotype establish whether such present same topological model governs their spatial properties. This adopted a new approach analysis of could applied improve understanding other religious buildings. Space syntax as tool can used...
The bioclimatic architecture considers the local climatic conditions in order to reconcile maximally comfort condition of occupants. Through several simulations effectuated by TRNSYS software, this paper shows that new produced south Algeria following northern cities tendency is not fully adapted hot dry climate southern regions, such as city Biskra. In these passive techniques design influence strongly on thermal architectural space performance. regard, diverse vertical shading devices size...
Vernacular urban configurations still constitute sources of inspiration for architects and designers. However, in most cases, instead extracting ideas processes, designers, order to create an architecture that respects identity cultural values while meeting environmental economic requirements, tend favour the imitation older end up with frozen copies from past. This paper suggests approach based on abstract concepts drawn past experiences filtered refined through physical design variables....
The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact horizontal shading devices on thethermal performance promotional apartments in city Biskra. In regard, various sizesof which allow making an adequate choice were proposed guaranteethe best thermal comfort level for apartment type. simulations performed by usingthe TRNSYS© software estimate objectively indoor studied apartments.The comparative analysis between simulation results existing and theshading scenarios shows that appear be unsuited...
Abstract Thermal comfort is regarded as the most important issue in residential buildings. To verify thermal performance of envelope components used for promotional apartments Algeria, whether they are adapted to hot and dry southern climate, or Mediterranean understand effect fixed combined horizontal vertical shading devices different dimensions (12 cm, 25 50 cm) on indoor these apartments, two main climatic zones have been considered this study, first a desert climate (Biskra, Ghardaïa,...
The aim of this research is to develop a material that will improve indoor comfort by eliminating the effect hot walls during summer and lowering amount energy consumed air conditioning.It also aims promote enough thermal autonomy maintain in arid areas, such as Biskra's climate southeastern Algeria, well provide designers with healthy, durable, long-lasting material, solid, low-cost option.The properties including proposed combination manufacturing procedure for these compressed stabilized...
À l’instar des autres villes algériennes, Bou-Saâda a connu une importante croissance démographique et un exode rural sous la pression évènements politiques socio-économiques marquant l’histoire de ville nation. Le rythme construction logements officiels n’a pu faire face à cette situation. Des quartiers d’habitat spontané ont donc vu le jour, tel que Maïtar. Ce dernier s’est implanté dans site périphérique, enclavé entre parcs production matériaux construction, montagne Moubakhera, dunes...
We report on the modeling and initial results from first national-scale integrated assessment of costs benefits different climate adaptation policy approaches affecting built assets at statistical local area resolution.In this study we simulated damage incurred coastal inundation hazard under three outlooks.At all stages, inception to review results, our key stakeholders were involved notably as sources innovation, guides logic action; enabling codification responses according stylized...
Biskra is one of the Algerian cities that has undergone a very accelerated evolution through different periods its history. It confronted with serious problems related to various dysfunctions in particular planned urban structure and social suffering from several ills, whether in: housing spaces, equipment or public spaces. The latter present many anomalies depending on consumption space, identification, orientation behavior. objective this work seeks read analyze quality permeability...
Building Information Modeling, often referred to as BIM, is considered an essential part of the design and construction process in many countries. The aim this study test application system relation traditional computer aide (CAD) characterize possible contribution BIM architectural quality. analysis model consists modeling through exercise proposed student architects. solutions were subjected a detailed statistical order elements results show that out five evaluation criteria, four are...
Architecture quality is complex due to a number of factors. Some these factors implicitly engage in deep reflection on architectural space, then they end up having significant impact the user’s experience. For purposes this paper, experience considered as any contact between user and built environment through where will be result both objective subjective Among aspects, we focus emotional dimension user's This theoretical article address issue using an inductive approach. The main purpose...
The urban landscape of Algerian cities features a mix traditional and contemporary architectural forms, offering diverse range experiences perspectives. heterogeneous nature this terrain motivated us to investigate the cognitive representation scenery in minds inhabitants Ain Beida.The study emphasizes map, which manifests as visual representations, such drawings or images, well sensory memories that are gathered stored over period time. perception mental image varies among individuals...
