Future City Architecture for Optimal Living (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Rassia, Stamatina Th.; Pardalos, Panos M.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a wealth of interdisciplinary approaches to urbanization strategies in architecture centered on growing concerns about the future of cities and their impacts on essential elements of architectural optimization, livability, energy consumption and sustainability. It portrays the urban condition in architectural terms, as well as the living condition in human terms, both of which can be optimized by mathematical modeling as well as mathematical calculation and assessment.

Special features include:

· new research on the construction of future cities and smart cities

· discussions of sustainability and new technologies designed to advance ideas to future city developments

Graduate students and researchers in architecture, engineering, mathematical modeling, and building physics will be engaged by the contributions written by eminent international experts from a variety of disciplines including architecture, engineering, modeling, optimization, and related fields.
