The interaction of humanity with nature and the use natural spaces in line their needs have directed people toward spatial solutions that are compatible surrounding environment while meeting requirements. In this context, landscape design, which aims to develop outdoor design proposals align ecological characteristics address both functional aesthetic needs, has become a significant sub-discipline within architecture. process involves translating decisions made during planning into most suitable solutions. Nature-compatible designs, place importance on preserving areas prevent degradation, provide by considering features spaces. These nature-compatible essential urban areas, developed today through designs large spaces, open green or protected zones. Particularly, development utilization integrated connected contribute significantly cities users. Based premise, study an approach for identifying uses cause minimal harm environment. Within scope study, detailed proposals, including site plan visual support, were presented selected area Muğla province. project sample was revealed forest borders

Producing food in an environmentally sustainable way for the growing human population is a challenge to global system. Vertical farm (VF) as part of solution portfolio attracting interest since it uses less water, pesticides, and land which are scarce many parts globe. Despite these positive factors, energy demand vertical farms high, often remain separate excluded from cities where most lives. City-level system solutions exist empower efficiency increase share variable renewable sources, but their potential has not yet been estimated urban that includes large farms. Accordingly, this study, we simulate practices farming with large-scale energies flexibility measures. For first modelled farm's response control maximize electricity cost savings. To evaluate response, analysis carried out different crops (lettuce, wheat, soybean), price profiles. The result can be reduction 5% 30% consumption costs. Further, sensitivity analyses highlight effect variations photoperiod on outcomes. In second part, operation (Helsinki, Finland) was analysed through two scenarios. These scenarios represent emission-free Helsinki 2050 wind power implementation. As VFs use outside peak hours, inclusion VF right configuration improve within by up 19%. show connection exogenous market important support future systems. key points integration systems highlighted, including role markets, increasing local power, importance crop selection reducing VF's costs response. city-level high share, thus recommend side strong sectoral coupling design maximise consumption.

Consistent urbanization and global warming escalates the summer temperatures of urban, significantly impacting daily lives endangering well-being. It is difficult to balance urban construction increasing blue-green space. Hence, understanding impact changes in spatial patterns different spaces on thermal environment beneficial rational layout patterns. Drawing from case study Shanghai, by employing bivariate autocorrelation multiscale geographically weighted regression, interplay between distribution modifications land surface temperature grades scrutinized, thus unraveling underlying mechanisms their mutual influence. The findings reveal following: (1) transformation pattern exhibited substantial discrepancies northern southern sectors. (2) alteration Shanghai varies spatially characterized a decrease grade southwestern suburbs, an increase east, almost no change central region. (3) Furthermore, correlation extent manifested unevenness. (4) Finally, mechanism alterations city emanates primarily influence heat exchange areas. instability can provide implications for planners.

The has been carried out within Subtask C—Case Studies Action Research International Energy Agency Solar Heating Cooling Program Task 51 “Solar Urban Planning”. Three different hosting active passive systems (existing areas, new agricultural/rural areas) have investigated attain lessons learned recommendations. Findings suggest that (a) it is important consider from early stages design process onwards achieve satisfactory levels integration; (b) a higher level awareness regarding potential at beginning project permits acting its morphology, achieving best solution terms gains; (c) when properly designed, photovoltaic can act as characterizing elements distinctive architectural material able valorize aesthetic entire intervention; (d) further significant outcomes include importance supporting decision strategies with quantitative qualitative analyses, institution coordinating bodies facilitate discussion between stakeholders, need for deep renovation projects fully impact existing buildings’ stock; (e) large installations are planned ground level, landscape approach should be chosen, while ecological reduced by carefully planning adoption alternative solutions (e.g., agrivoltaics) compatible land use.
