Hydraulic characteristics of emerged rigid and submerged flexible vegetations in the riparian zone

Flow resistance, velocity distribution, and turbulence intensity are significantly influenced by aquatic vegetations (AV) in riparian zones. Understanding the hydraulics of flow with planted floodplains is of great significance for determining the velocity distribution profile and supporting the fluvial processes management. However, the...

Why Factory: The spatial significance of Architectural Education Buildings

The educational space of Architecture faculty is used to cultivate architects. At the same time, it becomes the carrier of architectural ideas and teaching methods. The type of architecture and its spatial organization reflect the architectural education philosophy and attitude. Back in history, as early as the Renaissance, there had emerged...

乡村体验视角下特色田园乡村景观空间分析与优化研究——以苏州市树山村为例

Under the background of coordinated development between urban and rural areas, rural revival is a hot topic. The research focuses on the landscape spatial form under the Characteristic and Idyllic Village. From the perspective of rural experience, it uses settlement space and landscape space analysis method to construct the renewal strategy of...

Impacts of problem scale and sampling strategy on surrogate model accuracy: An application of surrogate-based optimization in building design

Surrogate-based Optimization is a useful approach when the objective function is computationally expensive to evaluate, compared to Simulation-based Optimization. In the surrogate-based method, analytically tractable “surrogate models” (also known as “Response Surface Models — RSMs” or “metamodels”), are constructed and validated for each...
