new architectural trends have emerged to meet human needs at the present time, including architecture that is responsive / adaptive to the surrounding conditions such as climate to maximize the efficiency of the building and human comfort. Accordingly, adaptive façades aim to change the shape of the building skin to meet users 'needs and maximize the efficiency of building's operation. This research aims to work out a methodology to evaluate the effect of adaptive facades on daytime performance, by studying the principles and methodology of designing climate adaptation interfaces that are inspired by the biological nature, and applying the evaluation methodology to buildings that follow the principles of conditioning. The study concluded to; Buildings did not achieve the level of the ecosystem as this level should be applied to the urban design rather than architectural In case study; Al Bahr Towers achieved 86% of the day lighting performance, while Council House2 achieved a 69% of day lighting performance. The Syracuse University Research Center achieved 92% of day light performance. The One Ocean Expo achieved a day performance of 83%.
Remote societies often have a local economy that depend on natural resources, which attract tourists, but the problem lies in the difficult accessibility to remote areas and lack of interest in its infrastructure, so they have become unexploited areas and wasting wealth.The research aims to provide a methodology for assessing the most appropriate ways to develop remote areas and to apply this methodology to different remote areas in Egypt to measure their effectiveness.The methodology of the research depends on the theoretical, analytical and applied approach; the theoretical approach reviews the definition of remote areas, and then studies the elements of sustainable infrastructure in remote areas, concludes criteria for assessing sustainable infrastructure in remote areas, then uses the analytical approach to analysis three remote areas in Egypt, which are Shali in Siwa Oasis, Basaysa in South Sinai, and the village of Wadi Rayyan in Fayoum, then applies approach to apply the checklist on these areas.The research concludes that the new Basaysa village achieves the highest infrastructure sustainability assessment, Rayan Valley has the lowest infrastructure sustainability rating as a remote area. As for Siwa Oasis -after the success of the Al-Babenshal Hotel experience, and Adrère Amellal -infrastructure sustainability has been published in all service buildings, such as Banque du Cairo. Although from the Wadi Al-Rayyan region is a research tourist area like Siwa Oasis, it found no attention from investors, the government or researchers, many remote areas in Egypt are in the same condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
