This general edition of Architectural Science Review remindsme of the broad church for the application of science in architecture and the many countries in the world where architectural science is prospering. Increasingly we live in a world where the process of science and its outcomes are being ignoredor denied. So this edition brings to our attention some useful theories and practices which may serve us well into the future. The first paper is by Ayşegül Tereci is titled ‘Biophilic Wisdom of the 13th and 14th Century Seljuk’s Mosque Architecture in Beyşehir, Anatolia.’ This historical analysis examines two of the most well preserved wooden columned and roofed mosques in Turkey. Located in the central part of the country near lake Beysehir has numerous features using natural systems. It is noted that it was common practice for buildings to use timber columns from cedar and preserved through immersion in the lake for an extensive period prior to use in the building. Also buildings contain a snow pit, which is used in summer for cooling. Increasing the use of historical examples for studying Biophilia is becoming an important research direction. To help understand this concept it is important to point out the many features in the buildings, which indicate biophilic principles, which underlie the intent. In a world as it enters the anthropocene with significant human environmental impact, there are efforts to disconnect humans from their actions. Therefore it is important in this disconnected world to research places where there has been greater connectedness with natural systems, in addition to recognising places, which encourage engaging with natural systems. Architectural conservation therefore takes onboth a cultural andenvironmental perspective. The next paper is by Rana Ayman, Zaid Alwan & Lesley McIntyre. Their paper called ‘BIM for sustainable project delivery: reviewpaper and future development areas’, looks at howBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) relates to sustainable design. It is well known that the sustainable design is a complex area however an emerging hypothesis is that the use of BIM can assist with the translation of sustainable design principles into architectural practice. The paper reports on the research carried out to date on this issue. The next two papers use a typological approach to examine behavioural and environmental factors that affect design decisions. The behavioural paper is byAsyaNatapov, Saskia Kuliga, Ruth Conroy Dalton & Christoph Hölscher called ‘Linking buildingcirculation typology and wayfinding: design, spatial analysis, and anticipated wayfinding difficulty of circulation types’. The authors evaluate different types of building circulation systems from the wayfinding perspective. This area of architectural science has been well studied in recent years and is normally applied at the urban scale. However, this study examines thebuilding scale anduses. The authors havedeveloped the methodology accordingly. The environmental paper is by Hossein Omrany, Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini, Umberto Berardi, Ali Ghaffarianhoseini & Danny H. W. Li. They ask the question ‘Is atrium an ideal form for daylight in buildings?’ This paper reviews the literature of the atrium form and its suitability for bringing daylight in buildings. Atrium buildings are a well-studied area in ASR. This paper provides an update to the literature in this area, which is complemented with simulation studies. The study is focused however there is a wider set of issues outside the scope of this paper concerningwhether courtyards are better for daylighting than the atria form. There is increasing research around this broader question. The next paper is a simulation study and is called ‘Integrating building shape optimization into the architectural design process’ and is by Aram Yeretzian, Hmayag Partamian, Mayssa Dabaghic and Rabih Jabr. The paper examines architectural design priorities for buildings forwarmandhot climates from the environmental perspective. The evolution and development of software mean that it is now possible to examine the effects of insolation from both the thermal and visual perspective in the design process. This means both qualitative and quantitative data can be collected in the design process and used for decision making. Developing tools that can assist with this process means that in theory more effective shading management can be achieved. The penultimate paper by Ruth Tamas, Mohamed M. Ouf & William O’Brien presents ‘A field study on the effect of building automationonperceived comfort and control in institutional buildings.’ In recent years thequestionof how to improveof indoor environmental quality has become an important research topic due to the prevalence of sick building syndrome. Investigating occupant satisfaction through post-occupancy studies has been one method to investigate these issues. A prevailing principle is to allowoccupants control of their environment however there has been increasing automation on environmental controls in buildings. How this relates to occupant satisfaction is an increasingly important research question? This Edition is concluded by a parametric study by authors Ardekani, Amirreza, Iman Dabbaghchian, Matin Alaghmandan, Mahmood Golabchi, Mahmood Hosseini, and Rasoul Mirghaderi called ‘Parametric Design of Diagrid Tall Buildings Regarding Structural Efficiency.’ There has been ongoing research reported in ASR on this structural type. This paper looks at the issues of the form of this type of structure and asks questions about what is the optimum

社论

这期《建筑科学评论》普通版让我想起了广泛的将科学应用于建筑的教会，以及世界上许多建筑科学蓬勃发展的国家。我们越来越生活在一个科学过程及其结果被忽视或否认的世界中。因此，本版提请我们注意一些有用的理论和实践，这些理论和实践可能对我们的未来有益。第一篇论文由 Ayşegül Tereci 撰写，题为“安纳托利亚 Beyşehir 的 13 和 14 世纪塞尔柱清真寺建筑的亲生物智慧”。这份历史分析考察了土耳其两座保存最完好的木制圆柱和屋顶清真寺。位于该国中部靠近 Beysehir 湖，拥有众多使用自然系统的特色。值得注意的是，建筑物通常使用雪松木柱，并在建筑物使用之前通过在湖中浸泡很长时间来保存。建筑物还包含一个雪坑，在夏季用于冷却。增加使用历史实例来研究 Biophilia 正成为一个重要的研究方向。为了帮助理解这个概念，重要的是要指出建筑物中的许多特征，这些特征表明了其意图背后的亲生物原则。在一个进入人类世对人类环境产生重大影响的世界中，人们正在努力使人类与他们的行为脱节。因此，在这个互不联系的世界中，除了识别地点之外，研究与自然系统联系更紧密的地方也很重要，鼓励参与自然系统。因此，建筑保护需要从文化和环境两个角度进行考虑。下一篇论文由 Rana Ayman、Zaid Alwan 和 Lesley McIntyre 撰写。他们的论文名为“用于可持续项目交付的 BIM：评论论文和未来发展领域”，着眼于建筑信息模型 (BIM) 如何与可持续设计相关联。众所周知，可持续设计是一个复杂的领域，然而一个新兴的假设是，BIM 的使用可以帮助将可持续设计原则转化为建筑实践。该论文报告了迄今为止在这个问题上进行的研究。接下来的两篇论文使用类型学方法来检查影响设计决策的行为和环境因素。行为论文由 AsyaNatapov, Saskia Kuliga, Ruth Conroy Dalton 和 Christoph Hölscher 称之为“连接建筑循环类型学和寻路：设计、空间分析和循环类型的预期寻路难度”。作者从寻路的角度评估了不同类型的建筑流通系统。近年来，这一建筑科学领域得到了很好的研究，并且通常应用于城市规模。然而，这项研究考察了建筑规模和用途。作者相应地开发了该方法。环境文件由 Hossein Omrany、Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini、Umberto Berardi、Ali Ghaffarianhoseini 和 Danny HW Li 撰写。他们问的问题是“中庭是建筑中日光的理想形式吗？” 本文回顾了中庭形式的文献及其在建筑物中引入日光的适用性。中庭建筑是 ASR 中一个经过充分研究的领域。本文提供了该领域文献的更新，并辅以模拟研究。该研究的重点是，但是关于庭院是否比中庭形式更适合采光，本文范围之外还有更广泛的问题。围绕这个更广泛的问题有越来越多的研究。下一篇论文是模拟研究，称为“将建筑形状优化集成到建筑设计过程中”，作者是 Aram Yeretzian、Hmayag Partamian、Mayssa Dabaghic 和 Rabih Jabr。本文从环境角度研究了建筑在温暖和炎热气候下的建筑设计重点。软件的发展和发展意味着现在可以在设计过程中从热和视觉两个角度检查日照的影响。这意味着可以在设计过程中收集定性和定量数据并用于决策。开发可以协助这一过程的工具意味着理论上可以实现更有效的阴影管理。Ruth Tamas、Mohamed M. Ouf 和 William O'Brien 的倒数第二篇论文提出了“关于楼宇自动化对机构建筑中感知舒适度和控制的影响的实地研究”。近年来，由于病态建筑综合症的盛行，如何改善室内环境质量成为一个重要的研究课题。通过入住后研究调查住户满意度是调查这些问题的一种方法。一个普遍的原则是允许居住者控制他们的环境，但是建筑物中环境控制的自动化程度越来越高。这与居住者满意度如何相关是一个越来越重要的研究问题？本版由作者 Ardekani、Amirreza、Iman Dabbaghchian、Matin Alaghmandan、Mahmood Golabchi、Mahmood Hosseini 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 的参数研究得出结论，该研究称为“关于结构效率的斜肋高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 一个普遍的原则是允许居住者控制他们的环境，但是建筑物中环境控制的自动化程度越来越高。这与居住者满意度如何相关是一个越来越重要的研究问题？本版由作者 Ardekani、Amirreza、Iman Dabbaghchian、Matin Alaghmandan、Mahmood Golabchi、Mahmood Hosseini 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 的参数研究得出结论，该研究称为“关于结构效率的斜肋高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 一个普遍的原则是允许居住者控制他们的环境，但是建筑物中环境控制的自动化程度越来越高。这与居住者满意度如何相关是一个越来越重要的研究问题？本版由作者 Ardekani、Amirreza、Iman Dabbaghchian、Matin Alaghmandan、Mahmood Golabchi、Mahmood Hosseini 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 的参数研究得出结论，该研究称为“关于结构效率的斜肋高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 这与居住者满意度如何相关是一个越来越重要的研究问题？本版由作者 Ardekani、Amirreza、Iman Dabbaghchian、Matin Alaghmandan、Mahmood Golabchi、Mahmood Hosseini 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 的参数研究得出结论，该研究称为“关于结构效率的斜肋高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 这与居住者满意度如何相关是一个越来越重要的研究问题？本版由作者 Ardekani、Amirreza、Iman Dabbaghchian、Matin Alaghmandan、Mahmood Golabchi、Mahmood Hosseini 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 的参数研究得出结论，该研究称为“关于结构效率的斜肋高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 称之为“关于结构效率的斜肋式高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题 和 Rasoul Mirghaderi 称之为“关于结构效率的斜肋式高层建筑的参数化设计”。在 ASR 中一直有关于这种结构类型的研究报告。本文着眼于这种结构形式的问题，并提出了关于什么是最佳的问题
