“…The building industry significantly contributes to global warming, prompting various suggested alternatives to mitigate its impact on the environment. However, comprehensive building development and redevelopment plans in different countries exacerbate construction-related issues, particularly with building demolition (2,3).…”

Concrete is one the most used material in construction. Considering its capacity to harden upon water contact, solidification, and acquisition of full strength, concrete becomes capable of withstanding significant stress. Over the past century, concrete structures have gained immense popularity and found extensive application in diverse architectural project. This prominence places concrete at the forefront of contemporary design and high-performance structure construction, due to its inherent structural benefits. Consequently, concrete production has witnessed a surge, facilitated by on-site production methods and straightforward construction processes. However, this heightened production has led to a significant generation of concrete waste, reaching up to 80 percent of the original produced volume in some regions worldwide. Recognizing the environmental implications, the reduction of concrete waste through recycling has emerged as a sustainable approach. Extensive research has been conducted to explore methods such as concrete recycling and the incorporation of other waste construction materials into concrete, thereby investigating their effects on concrete properties. This comprehensive review delves into the various material mixtures employed and their implications on the application of recycled concrete.

“…Designers are always concerned about the direct impacts of the environmental features, e.g. thermal comfort, on human beings' satisfaction (Mansourimajoumerd et al, 2020;Hoes et al, 2009); however, other indirect design strategies influence users specifically vulnerable ones like autistic users. Regarding the impacts of environmental features on autistic people's cognition, response and behavior (Mostafa, 2018;Nagib and Williams, 2018;Sheykhmaleki et al, 2021), Mostafa (2008), the pioneer in autism design, innovated Sensory Design Matrix.…”

PurposeAlthough some architects have found spatial order and proportion strategy effective in designing the environment for autistic children, it is not clear what spatial ratios are preferred for autistic people. Therefore, this study aims to find the desired ratio among autistic and non-autistic children.Design/methodology/approachThe scale model questionnaire was chosen to determine the difference in the ratio preferences for autistic and non-autistic children, whereas two access types between the space zones are also considered. The questionnaire was administered to 50 autistic children, with a half-and-half distribution of moderate and mild autism groups, while males are twofold. It was also administered to 50 non-autistic children, approximately equal in terms of gender division. The scale model was designed in the form of a dollhouse to be played with a doll in 6 varied rooms categorized by 3 different ratios (1:1, golden ratio, 1.6:1 and 5:2) and 2 access types (linear and radial access) to measure how many times each room was selected by each group to run numerical analysis.FindingsIt was shown that, although the golden ratio has been previously considered in space design for autistic children, they appealed to the ratio of 2:5 with high frequency. While there is a significant difference between the spatial ratios preferred by autistic and non-autistic children choosing the golden ratio, the same type of space access system is preferred by both groups in their results.Originality/valueDespite the prevalent use of the golden ratio in design for autism design, this research shaped an empirical study for autistic users concluding a different perspective in design for autism.
