Abstract Color of the sky serves as a direct indicator haze, while also exerting substantial influence on human physiological and psychological well-being, well overall environmental scenery. However, quantifying color changes is quite challenging. This research develops quantitative approach for evaluating atmospheric aerosol pollution appearance sky. We first calculated aerosols sky’s diffuse radiation, which source color. Then, we mapped radiation onto perceptually uniform space to quantify alterations in The results reveal that relationship between concentration change follows logarithmic-like distribution: higher concentration, weaker per unit increase concentration. Consequently, during early phases air control implementation, there may be minimal observable these measures are further enforced, discernible bluing effect will become evident. Based quantification color, blue-sky index (BSI) was established. find concurrent with improvements quality resulting from emission reduction measures, BSI has significantly decreased recent years China. trend indicates an frequency occurrences.

Tarihi çevredeki yeni yapı yaklaşımlarından zıt yaklaşım koruma dünyasında önemli tartışma konularından biri olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Geçmişten günümüze tarihi çevrelere/binalara modern eklemeler tasarlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda hangi mimari unsurların daha fazla dikkat çekeceği konusu olmuştur: unsurlar mı yoksa mı? İnsan/kullanıcı bir görüntü (manzara, bina cephesi vb.) ile karşılaştığında, dikkatini tam neyin çektiğine dair bilinçaltı anında karar vermektedir. Bilişsel Mimarlık teorisine göre bilinçaltında insanlar tarafından tercih edilen ilkeler vardır. dikkate alındığında geleneksel binaların binalara çektiği varsayılmaktadır. Araştırmada çevrede içeren ek ve etkileri görsel doğrultusunda incelenmiştir. Görsel için göz takibinden elde deneysel veriler kullanılarak geliştirilmiş yapay zekâ uygulaması olan 3M VAS Göz Takip Yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İzleyicilerin görsellere vereceği tepkileri tahmin etmek farklı (İsveç’teki Malmö Modern Müzesi; Almanya Dresden’deki Askeri Tarih Paris Louvre Hollanda Fundatie Kanada Royal Ontario Müzesi Prag’daki Dans Eden Ev) görselleri analiz edilmiştir. Hangi mimarinin neden ilgi çekici olduğunu açıklamak diyagramlar analizler sunulmuştur. Sonuçlar; olumlu kontrast etkiler olduğu gibi olumsuz de yaşandığını göstermektedir. çalışma, ilgili literatüründeki öznel tartışmalara karşın sonuçlarının konuya nesnel bakış kazandırabileceğini

The challenge of campus design, like other aspects contemporary environmental reveals a serious problem in education and practice. foundational design theories century ago have been exposed as an obsolete way thinking about cities, human nature, biological even the nature mathematical physical structures. Yet practice, these discredited models persist, obscured by new theoretical language extravagant “neoplastic” forms, but embodying persistent though untested ideologies driven systems inertia. This paper considers typology (including business campuses, commercial districts, hospitals, schools) paradigm for pedestrian public space with implications flourishing well-being. We propose specific human-oriented method to encourage well-being occupants improve outcomes creative development, education, health.

Cities face growing challenges from stormwater: flooding, pollution, and habitat loss. Green infrastructure offers solutions, yet the aesthetic dimension is often overlooked. This study introduces Buras Beauty Scale for objectively assessing beauty of wetland configurations emphasises its integration into green projects. Our methodology involved surveying diverse groups, including non-architecture students non-traditional architects, who perceived higher in compared to traditional architects architecture (mean scores: 7.8 7.5 vs. 6.2 6.4, respectively). Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation (r = 0.731, p < 0.05) between assessments Shannon-Weaver entropy, highlighting importance topographic diversity. We also observed that scores correlated with greater consensus among respondents, as evidenced by decrease coefficient variation 0.52 0.34. Multicriteria analyses, integrating functionality, identified optimal urban landscapes.
