Summary: Production-rate assessment is crucial for the success of a construction project, and the use of construction-standard-production-rate (CSPR) in South Korea is limited to individual equipment. This study aims to generate data on production-rates of different equipment combinations and test the feasibility of using such data for optimized fleet management and scheduling methods. The research uses discrete event simulation and regression analysis based on CSPR equations and information to achieve these goals.

Summary: This paper presents the historical development of vertical extensions in unreinforced masonry buildings in the Eixample district of Barcelona and their impact on seismic behavior. The study found that despite the low to moderate seismic hazard of Barcelona, the existing masonry buildings in Eixample pose significant seismic risk due to their average height and slender walls. Vertical extensions were a common solution to meet the increasing population demand, but they add structural irregularities that negatively affect seismic performance.

Summary: This paper explores various spatio-temporal mechanisms and proposes "makeshift" as a mechanism to expand the idea of temporalities in urban spaces. Through a case study, it identifies makeshift of functions and objects and suggests their application in urban space programming.

Summary: This paper discusses the concept of metabolism as an organic analogy in architecture and the built environment. The literal imitation in interdisciplinary studies of urban metabolism provides a new perspective for sustainable cities, while the historical reference of Japanese Metabolism offers a metaphorical example with a poetic humanist spirit. Viewed through the prism of infrastructure, the organic analogy of metabolism is discussed through various themes.

Summary: The research aims to verify the factors that form space value in shopping malls in Indonesia using scoring techniques. The results show that spatial layout, accessibility of space, and visitor visibility are the three factors that contribute to space value. These findings provide an evaluation tool for implementing space value in shopping malls and offer insights for researchers interested in the retail property sector.

Summary: This article proposes a 35D form index system for quantitatively describing the 3D form of urban blocks. Using cluster analysis, the visually complex and disordered urban 3D texture is translated into distinct form clusters, allowing for recognition of the overall urban form structure from the block perspective. The research conducted experiments in Nanjing and comparative analysis in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of form parameters and cluster analysis in achieving sound recognition. The number and distribution structure of clusters differ significantly among the four cities. Correlation analysis reveals a negative relationship between the number of cluster types and the level of urban socioeconomic development in similar areas. This research suggests that neighborhood morphological types can be utilized by governments and urban planners to devise customized spatial management and renewal strategies, thereby improving the overall urban structure by strategically minimizing the quantity and distribution of neighborhood morphological types.

Summary: The study investigates the issue of monotonous and lengthy corridors in Chinese elderly facilities and aims to evaluate the influence of different spatial forms on the emotions of the elderly. The findings suggest that arc corridors are associated with higher satisfaction, while folded corridors are associated with the lowest satisfaction. The study establishes a correlation between spatial form and occupant perception, indicating that moderate spatial variations contribute to a better experience for the elderly.

Summary: This article discusses the significance of the Centro Interamericano de Vivienda y Planeamiento (CINVA) in the historical context of the Cold War. It explores the development and global deployment of the CINVA-Ram machine, a technology for producing rammed-earth blocks, and highlights the role of governmental and non-governmental actors in fighting poverty and housing shortage. The article shows how this self-help initiative was intertwined with the larger ideological framework of combating Communism.

Summary: Vertical greening systems (VGS) have the potential to address urban resilience issues by mitigating high temperatures and air pollution. This research develops a conceptual framework to understand the effects of VGS on thermal performance and air quality improvement in hot, humid climates. The framework highlights key factors that impact VGS' environmental performance and provides recommendations for future research and practice.

Summary: Access to green spaces in urban areas is important for improving health conditions and enhancing well-being, public health, and environmental justice. This study uses GIS technology to assess the accessibility of green spaces in the new residential neighborhoods north of Riyadh city. The results show that 28% of the study area within 700 meters has accessibility based on spatial analysis, and only 9.8% has access when using network analysis. The study recommends increasing urban green spaces in neighborhoods that lack it to improve accessibility.

Summary: The issue of codification in the "Law and Rulings" is still controversial between opponents and supporters. Fatwas are meant to inform legal rulings without making them obligatory. The deduced rulings can vary according to different Islamic schools of thought, and also depending on time, place, and specific circumstances. This paper examines the possibility of codifying the rules of construction and architecture and discusses its impact on construction management and urban modeling.
