“…A sunscreen can also be produced artificially, e.g., with covered footpaths or galleries (Ali-Toudert & Mayer, 2007), double-skin façades (Baldinelli, 2009), membrane structures covering semi-closed spaces (He & Hoyano, 2010) and canvas blinds or parasols. The reduction of radiation temperature can be substantial, improving the thermal comfort of the occupants and, by reducing the daily temperature range, countering the fatigue of material located in the shade.…”

“…Without explicitly aiming at completely enclosed cells, the authors discuss possible bounding constructions. Many architectural design papers operate with such types of spaces to improve residential and building micro-climate and reduce cooling or heating energy requirements [4,5,71,72]. Typically, three main spaces are identified: semi-indoor, semi-outdoor and connection/transition/buffer and an attempt is made to provide definitions (Table 2).…”

“…Covered streets are regarded in this category. Furthermore, semi-enclosed space [5,78] or semi-open space [79] are used to name the space that is not enclosed entirely and has some settings including human-made structures that moderate the effects of the outdoor conditions.…”

“…Imaginary boundaries can be used to distinguish between space units outdoors for landscape planning. Combination of imaginary and physical boundaries can be used to partition spaces for leisure, drying laundry, growing plants [4], sheltering from the sun and wind [5] and similar activities [6][7][8]. Cells have been introduced in different disciplines related to urban applications ( Figure 1, such as positioning and navigation [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] (indoor [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], outdoor [30][31][32]), building micro-climate and thermal comfort [4,[33][34][35][36][37][38], landscape, urban planning and design [39][40][41][42][43][44], urban heat island [45][46][47], interior design…”

In spatial science and urban applications, “space" is presented by multiple disciplines as a notion referencing our living environment. Space is used as a general term to help understand particular characteristics of the environment. However, the definition and perception of space varies and these variations have to be harmonised. For example, space may have diverse definitions and classification, the same environment may be abstracted/modelled by contradicting notions of space, which can lead to inconsistencies and misunderstandings. In this paper, we seek to investigate and document the state-of-the-art in the research of “space” regarding its definition, classification, modelling and utilization (2D/3D) in spatial sciences and urban applications. We focus on positioning, navigation, building micro-climate and thermal comfort, landscape, urban planning and design, urban heat island, interior design and planning, transportation and intelligent space. We review 147 research papers, technical reports and on-line resources. We compare the presented space concepts with respect to five criteria—classification, boundary, modelling components, use of standards and granularity. The review inventory is intended for both scientists and professionals in the spatial industry, such as companies, national mapping agencies and governments, and aim to provide a reference to better understand and employ the “space” while working across disciplines.

“…In addition, extensive studies on indoor thermal environment of fabric membrane structures mainly focused on public buildings. He and Hoyano 16,17 conducted field measurements in a semi-enclosed space, analyzed the vertical distributions of air temperature and velocity, and established a simulation method to improve the thermal environment. Kim et al 18,19 researched indoor environments in arcade-type markets with wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations.…”

In recent years, the application of membrane structures in industrial storage buildings has been widely praised due to its light weight, high transparency, self-cleaning, and other advantages. The textile membranes consist of polyester fiber substrate and polyvinyl chloride or polyvinylidene fluoride flame-retardant coatings. It occupies the main market of architectural membrane materials in China. However, the fabric membrane material has high heat transfer coefficient, poor thermal insulation, and high light transmittance performance, being affected significantly by solar radiation intensity. These thermal optical properties are lead to a poor indoor thermal environment of industrial storage buildings. This article aims to overcome the difficulties in analyzing the fabric membrane materials solar radiation heat transfer. The complexity of heat transfer is mainly caused by the hourly solar radiation and the curved roofing of fabric membrane structure industrial storage building. Therefore, a solar radiation heat transfer model was established using MATLAB program. In this article, the different directions hourly heat gained of an actual membrane structures storage building located at Wuhan in China was calculated. The calculation results of solar radiation heat gained between the grid generation method with MATLAB and the projection method were compared. This study may provide a reference for analyze the solar radiation heat transfer and design of the practical fabric membrane structures building application.
