Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing thermal and acoustic comfort in outdoor open spaces through survey questionnaires and on-site measurements. Results show that the acoustic environment affects thermal sensation, with reducing noise levels and increasing physiological temperature enhancing comfort. Decreasing physical activity and maintaining a sense of pleasantness also contribute to overall comfort.

Summary: Confucianism has had a significant impact on traditional Chinese urban patterns and sustainable housing development, leading to a fusion of architectural styles in China and neighboring regions. This study examines the importance and influence of Confucian narratives in urban streets and courtyard houses in the Mingfucheng area of Jinan, Shandong Province. Through interviews with residents, the study explores the impact of Confucian concepts on residents' lives and spatial behavior, as well as the challenges and opportunities in urbanization and rural revitalization. The research provides a narratological perspective on the sustainability of culturally influenced traditional architecture and offers suggestions for sustainable strategies in architectural culture and heritage conservation.

Summary: Virtual heritage offers new possibilities for education, interpretation, preservation, and management of cultural assets, but more consistent theoretical-practical debates are still needed. This study investigates the influence of different levels of detail (LOD) configurations on the construction and interpretation of three-dimensional models of historic buildings. The experiment findings show that models with higher LODs lead to more comprehensive comments on the architecture, and elements such as the building's surroundings, the humanization of the scenery, and the temporal depth of the 3D models should be considered in the virtual reconstruction process.

Summary: This paper proposes a method that combines shape grammar with BIM technology for floor plan designs. It uses the example of a mass modular housing project to illustrate how to create plan module libraries. Shape grammar is used to manipulate the graphics and functions of component modules, enriching the combination relationship between them. The size relationship that affects the module form is coded through rule-making and the mapping relationship between the shape graph and module attributes is established. The BIM platform can then establish the module library using Autodesk Revit. Additionally, generative experiments in Revit software confirm the feasibility of shape grammar in generative design and spatial diversity of modular buildings.

Summary: One of the main functions of mortars is to protect walls in-service conditions. However, there are common pathological manifestations associated with mortars that not only affect substrate strength and other properties, but also the comfort and healthiness of buildings users. There has been a growing trend towards rehabilitating existing buildings instead of demolishing them in recent decades, driven by economic, urbanistic, ecological, and sustainability reasons. Lime-based renders were commonly used in traditional buildings, but inappropriate coating solutions have led to anomalies in building walls. It is increasingly important to use coatings that are compatible with traditional substrates. The research presented in this paper aims to assess the behavior of lime mortars applied on traditional substrates and to discuss how substrate properties affect mortar behavior.

Summary: This research aims to investigate the sustainable development of rural tourism by establishing a sustainability evaluation model that takes into account the needs of villagers and tourists. The study finds an imbalance in satisfaction between villagers and tourists in the villages of the Fuchun River Basin in China, and a lack of momentum in the sustainable development of rural tourism. Efforts should be made to strengthen construction and meet the different needs of villagers and tourists.
