Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE 2023), July 20–24, 2023, San Francisco, USA
This book discusses human factors research directed towards realizing and assessing sustainability in the built environment. It reports on advanced engineering methods for sustainable infrastructure design, as well as on assessments of the efficient methods and the social, environmental, and economic impact of various designs and projects. The book covers a range of topics, including the use of recycled materials in architecture, ergonomics in buildings and public design, sustainable design for smart cities, design for the aging population, industrial design, human scale in architecture, and many more. Based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Human Factors, Sustainable Urban Planning and Infrastructure, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, it offers various perspectives on sustainability and ergonomics. As such, it is a valuable reference resource for designers, urban engineers, architects, infrastructure professionals, public infrastructure owners, policy makers, government engineers and planners, as well as operations managers and academics active in urban and infrastructure research.
This book reports on research on innovative human systems integration and human-machine interaction, with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and automation, as well as computational modeling and simulation. It covers a wide range of applications in the area of design, construction and operation of products, systems and services, including lifecycle development and human-technology interaction. The book describes advanced methodologies and tools for evaluating and improving interface usability, new models, as well as case studies and best practices in virtual, augmented and mixed reality systems, with a special focus on dynamic environments. It also discusses different factors concerning ...
This open access book addresses the pressing need for sustainability in urban development and the use of technology, with cities to serve as the main stage for strategies that seek to meet the targets and the cross-sector priorities indicated in the EU’s Next Generation program, all in pursuit of a solid recovery on the part of the European economy, along lines of ecological transition, digitalization, competitiveness, training, and inclusion to overcome social, territorial, and gender differences. The international study encounter is meant to promote visions shared by architectural technology and other disciplines, which, though they may appear to differ, are closely interconnected, with the aim of achieving an open, interdisciplinary integration capable of proposing concrete projects regarding topics held to be of strategic importance to the future of the built environment. These are identified to draw up evolving scenarios of architecture and cities suited to reflection, at various levels, on innovative models of process and product.
Nella realtà dei centri storici italiani il tema del recupero degli edifici abbandonati e l'esigenza di spazi per la musica possono trovare, attraverso l'applicazione di metodologie scientificamente fondate per la valutazione della compatibilità al riuso degli edifici, il modo per concepire soluzioni sostenibili. Per tali ragioni il volume non vuole intendersi come occasionale ed isolato evento, ma porsi come periodico momento di dibattito, riflessione e scambio intorno all'evoluzione di una tematica di grande interesse e attualità.
Collana STUDI E RICERCHE DI ARCHITETTURA del Dipartimento di Architettura Università degli Studi G. d’ Annunzio, Chieti-Pescara, diretta da Paolo Fusero La sezione Design e progettazione tecnologica, Dept, del Dipartimento d’architettura di Pescara ha promosso, in questi anni, specifiche attività formative e di ricerca che hanno privilegiato una riflessione e un’azione progettuale sinergica tra le discipline del Disegno industriale e della Progettazione tecnologica dell’architettura. Il libro propone una riflessione critica, sia su scenari, metodi e strumenti di supporto alle attività d’ideazione, elaborazione e valutazione, sia sul repertorio di studi, prodotti, ricerche profes...
Collana STUDI E RICERCHE DI ARCHITETTURA del Dipartimento di Architettura Università degli Studi G. d’Annunzio, Chieti-Pescara, diretta da Paolo Fusero Questo libro raccoglie i risultati scientifici di un importante Protocollo di intesa firmato dal Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università G. d’Annunzio e il Comune di Pescara inerente gli studi e le ricerche sulle aree di trasformazione strategica della città. Il primo volume contiene la “Vision”, ossia l’idea di città del futuro rappresentata attraverso l’individuazione di obiettivi strategici da perseguire nel medio-lungo termine. Sempre nel primo volume sono sintetizzati i progetti elaborati nel corso della Summer Sch...
