In China, the rapid processof urbanisation and economic growth bring to people not only more opportunities for creating new life and pursuinghappiness, but also the challenge to face various and complex social, economical and environmental problems. Amongthem some are outstanding, like the shrinking plowland devoured by urbanisation, the withering of village abandonedby urbanisation, the inflating price of house and rent pushed by urbanisation, and the severe-completing and fightingfor public resources evoked by urbanisation. While local dwellers are moving out and the out-comers flooding in, thetraditional public context is heavily destroyed, and various environment issues are also emerging. Basing on a survey ofRo. Xihuangcun in Beijing, China, this article has made a near analysis on public space, trying to cast light on a modelin urbanisation, and to draw some constructive suggestion and solution to this selected area as well.

Consequently, neighborhood openspaces with their meaningful layout seem to be constituent elements of residential complexes. Although, architects anddesigners try to create qualitative areas among buildings, the function of open spaces has not fully been defined yet.As such, the current research aims not merely to elaborate on the role of open spaces, rather tries to propose designingcriteria for residential complexes. Based on previous researches, the paper has investigated open space characteristicsby taking into account Ekbatan residential complex in the west of Tehran metropolis, hence; proposed a model witheffective variables. A survey was done after randomly selecting household samples there. Findings demonstrated theprincipal role of open spaces in the attachment to neighborhood. Security and quietness were the two other importantcriterions for those residents. Based on these findings, it can be said that the physical attributes play two roles in theneighborhood attachment; first, they facilitate social activities and provide opportunities to develop social attachmentand second, enhance architectural attributes including aestheticism and density.

3 - Two Paradigms of Endogenous Development: Production Process & Supply-demand Relationship

They refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as afundamental relationship between phenomena. The history of differing values and attitudes presented inmanagement and design indicates the importance of this relationship.This sort of knowledge and some of the values and attitudes needed by built environment professionalscan be explored by the Endogenous Development Model and its associated internal paradigms ofproduction-process and supply-demand relationships. The first is responsible for the evolution of thoughtin a diachronous space-time dimension and the second causes the generation of typologies created in asynchronous three-dimensional space.Particular emphasis is placed on the meaning of development in the context of endogenous people-centreddevelopment. The paper addresses the fact that the means of production and the associated supply-demandmechanism are generated in the west. Indeed, for some today, what is seen as the historical process of“Westernization” may well be rejected outright as a goal for developing countries. Manuscript profile -

Thisarticle is concentrated on surveying the impact of in-between spaces on residential environments quality (REQ), to evaluatedifferent kinds of it and to determine interrelation of two main components: residents individual characteristics andcharacteristics of in-between spaces. Levels ofin-between spaces include empirical-aesthetic, performance and environmental characteristics to determine degreesof residents satisfaction (RSAT). Eighteen selected components of in-between spaces quality (ISQ) assess the RSATdegrees in three residential environments of Kerman. Needed data obtained from structured interviews with residents andobservation checklists. A direct relationship found between RSAT and ISQ in all three surveyed residential environments.The REQ index is highly and positively correlated with satisfaction of the three levels of in-between spaces and residentsindividual characteristics such as ownership and residential period.

The purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces indifferent climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. Wehave employed a multi-method approach which combines a “qualitative” and “quantitative” analysis. Three squareswere chosen as a setting for either a video observations, climatic measurement and interviews with the users. The wholeinvestigations were conducted one day in winter 2009 and one day in summer 2010. The result of the qualitative andthe quantitative analysis revealed that the climate variables played very different roles in predicting the use mode anddensity of the three squares in the two seasonal periods.

On the other hand, the case study houses have different builtarea from 80 t0 200 m2andoccupant number from 3 to 7 persons.It was concluded that the biggest and busiest housesdid not consume the maximum annual gas consumption and so the smallest and low occupant ones about minimumconsumption. Therefore, the samples heating consumption was not so related to the built area and occupant number.The occupant culture and behavior was more supposed to be related with energy consumption in residential sector ofthe city.

This thought can be analyzed, developed, experienced, and interpreted. Creativity is the onlydomineering force in the idea of designing which is in quest for freeing architecture from the routine methods, andalso finding the novel systems to answer the questions in architecture. Therefore, a special fixed and stable placeis considered for creativity. However, the background and history of research and clash of ideas in recent yearsexplains for the change in reconsidering the general ideas, and interpretations on creativity in the process of designing.Today, the approach that considers the process of designing an outcome of responding to the demand on creativity inarchitecture through logical and analytic methods is no longer credited. Instead, the process of designing is consideredin a creative and intuitive way which is metaphysical rather than argumentative. This change in attitude and the relevantinterpretations have introduced clear evidence; however, there remain many questions involving the identity and qualityof the creative occurrences in the process of designing. Therefore, the intuitive approaches and interpretations aboutcreativity have been so over generalized and complicated that have left a lot of obscurities behind. This article is anattempt to respond to some of these questions by identifying the ways the intuitive creativity occurs and also to presenta descriptive stream in the emergence of creativity which means creating ideas only happen according to intuition.

Acquiring all these information, it wouldbe possible perspective of how the space was shaped and know the prominent factors in this relationship. Also theirfunctions and relations would be completely clarified, in order to have a proper answer for how Sema had effected thesymbolic conformation of the complex. The results will classify the compartments and features which form Khanghahcomplexes in accordance with different levels of Islamic art, as well as the way function had modified the process ofbuilding formation.

Technology has been one of the most influential forces in changing the face of cities, leavingdifferent marks on the city form. In fact, technology has gained an increasingly more important and integrative rolein bringing changes to the urban form. In addition, recent plethora of developments and advances in various fieldsof technology more than before necessitates an examination of the relationship between technology and urban form.However, such an inquiry should be based on an understanding of the underlying philosophical and historical foundationsunderlying such a relationship. Throughout human history, a direct relationship has existed between the philosophicaloutlook on the world, the view on technology and its application, technological developments and consequently theireffects on the city. The first step in understanding the relationship between technological developments and urban formchanges and also in explaining the philosophical tenets, underlying urban form changes throughout history, is to realizethe nature and philosophy of technology per se. The present study aims to facilitate and present such an understandingin order to broaden the horizons projecting the relationship between technology and urban form. Manuscript profile
