Explaining the characteristics of these two aspects leads to various structures that include the main objectives of this study. With the help of product-driven and process-driven approaches, it can be achieved with varying qualities of building industrialization. In this regard, several experts' views have been reviewed studied, and a five-step quality is extracted. Finally, employing interface tools to two product-driven and process-oriented approaches, a good choice concerning the five-step quality has been made for designers in building industrialization.

Lean construction (L.C.) is an advanced manufacturing approach that could potentially bring novel developments in the construction industry and seeks to elevate the value of the building, diminishing waste. Off-site construction (OSC) techniques have numerous advantages. Recent research studies have outlined the advantages of bringing together L.C. and OSC. This research aims to identify the elements of blending L.C. and OSC for the Industrialization architecture framework. The core ideas that are integrated into the framework are addressed and discussed. This research employed a 3-step bibliometric review of industrialization research within the construction and manufacturing sectors. A comprehensive systematic literature review technique to review the literature on L.C. and OSC for industrialization architecture identified factors of integrated L.C. and OSC for industrialization architecture and arrived at a conceptual model by recognizing these components. To refine AEC performance toward industrialization construction, The increased efficiency of the enhanced production system is taking a more prominent place. The introduction of automation and robotic systems into the construction process, pre-fabrication technique, construction 4.0 and use of information communication technology and digital technology (BIM, RFID,...), use of DFMA technique (design for manufacture and assembly) and sustainability ability for the elimination of construction waste are factors for integrating L.C. and OSC for industrialization architecture. This document provides a reference for future construction direction to achieve industrialization construction. Manuscript profile -

But what is truly submitted here is but the reassertion and reaffirmation of the language of the Iranian architects of the past and the buildings they left behind where myriads of lessons are to be traced, fathomed into and learned by the generations to come. The multitudes of buildings that have lived to this day reveal the very heed paid by their architects and the knowledge they possessed. And we, as the recipients of centuries of experience and innovations are bequeathed with a body of wealth that should be fully examined, evaluated and fathomed in details in order to be used in the best and the most appropriate manner. IntroductionThe Iranian architecture has always attracted most attentions onto its positive aspects such as logic, principles, stability, technical and scientific issues of the buildings, humanistic criterion, and the use of local materials, frugality and so forth.Trial and error, frequent experiments, long-lasting experiences, proper use of the principles of geometry and proportions, paying heed with precision and care and intelligent approach towards issues were amongst the many platforms upon which the Iranian architects stood to view the broader scopes in solving the problems methodologically and perform mastery. ....

Removing such problems is one of the necessities in the development plan of architecture and urban development. Providing flexibility by the possibility of creating compatibility or by changing the frame and space for various uses shall lead to the qualitative improvement of the residence space and the satisfaction of many of the needs. By such an approach, it is possible to present solutions for optimizing the space and a suitable response to some of the issues in the field of housing; accordingly, the research was conducted with the purpose of evaluating the effect of each flexibility strategy on solving the housing problems. The current study is an applied study from the purpose viewpoint, and is a combination of documentary and survey methods, from the method viewpoint. To determine the relation between the strategies and the issues, the qualitative method of interview is used and to evaluate the effect of strategies on the issues of the housing field, a questionnaire is used based on the Likert scale. According to the analyses and the findings obtained from the interview and the survey, among the nine existing issues in the field of housing design, seven issues with different rates are solvable using the flexibility strategies. On the one hand, the results indicate that considering the obtained rates, the flexibility strategies are able to solve many issues in the field of housing design. Manuscript profile -

Whereas the predominant approach of third and fourth-generation universities is professionalism. And although the Bachelor of Architecture course is defined in the curriculum as a professional course; However, scientific and professional expectations in the undergraduate course have not been met; Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the architectural engineering curriculum; And it seeks to answer two questions: What challenges does the curriculum of architectural engineering face from the perspective of the Architecture teachers? And what steps are needed to review and modernize the architectural engineering curriculum in order to vocational education? The approach of the present study is quantitative. This research is applied research and in terms of data collection and control of variables is a descriptive survey. Library studies were used to formulate theoretical foundations and a questionnaire was used to collect data, which is based on Klein curriculum model and consists of 9 components and 71 items. Analysis of data based on a one-sample t-test in SPSS software showed that the curriculum in all nine components is challenged based on Klein's model; So that in 49 out of 71 items, that is 69% in the curriculum, there is a challenge. In the presented paradigm, all the elements of the curriculum are interconnected around the objectives. The low quality of each element casts doubt on the whole and the existence of the curriculum. Therefore, it is necessary to review the curriculum in a completely balanced, proportionate and coherent manner. Manuscript profile -

The tradition of building construction is a dynamic outcome where structure builders consciously yet gradually and progressively put their efforts into action for the development and improvement of their methods and shapes. If the new structures be built with modern stuff and materials they will be of more favorable and accepted, but there should be no reason to hesitate in finding innovative solutions in using traditional building materials such as soil, rocks and pottery clay suitable in certain cases. The use of soil in housing projects was not only a prevalent fashion in all over the world but also in Iran since ancient times. Masons and architects knew the significance role that this substance plays in building construction. However, people are today more habituated to other types of environments involving concrete and metal buildings and thus demands materials according to time requirements that are also abundantly available and easily acquirable. Experts as well as lay people have become rather ignorant and estranged from a true, beautiful humanistic lifestyle based on human interests and values. But if they can be exposed to such lifestyle, they will surely become attracted. The answer to the question that why soil is used as an element of value in buildings, should be sought in the facts and premises determining its manifold applications. The main focus of this article is to present these qualities as well as the innovative methods with which many problems in construction can be solved. Manuscript profile
