95FabriCity-XR: A Phygital Lattice Structure Mapping Spatial Justice – Integrated Design to AR-Enabled Assembly WorkflowIn Germane Barnes & Blair Satterfield (eds.), 112th ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings, Disruptors on the Edge, Acsa Press. pp. 180-187. 2024.The research discussed in this paper centers around the convergence of extended reality (XR) platforms, computational design, digital fabrication, and critical urban study practices. Its aim is to cultivate interdisciplinary and multiscalar approaches within these domains. The research endeavor represents a collaborative effort between two primary disciplines: critical urban studies, which prioritize socio-environmental justice, and integrated digital design to production, which emphasize the re…Read more

16This research delves into the potential of implementing artificial intelligence in architecture. It specifically provides a critical assessment of AI-enabled workflows, encompassing creative ideation, representation, materiality, and critical thinking, facilitated by prompt-based generative processes. In this context, the paper provides an examination of the concept of hybrid human–machine intelligence. In an era characterized by pervasive data bias and engineered injustices, the concept of hybr…Read more

218Temporalities and the Urban Fabric: Co-Producing Liminal Spaces in Transitional EpochsUou Scientific Journal (06): 116-125. 2023.Within the framework of 'Temporalities and the Urban Fabric: Co-Producing Liminal Spaces in Transitional Epochs,' this rigorous examination unravels the multilayered nuances of temporality and its intimate relationship with urban spaces in times of transition. The research delineates the intricate interplay between public exhibitions, urban realms, and socio-political paradigms, particularly within the dynamic settings of the metropolitan entities of Houston and Amsterdam. These cities, as epito…Read more

6Socio-Spatial Micro-Networks: Building Community Resilience in KenyaIn Ali Cheshmehzangi, Maycon Sedrez, Hang Zhao, Tian Li, Tim Heath & Ayotunde Dawodu (eds.), Resilience vs Pandemics, Springer. pp. 141-159. 2023.The adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed the lack of multi-scalar community resilient strategies that catalyze the development of alternative coping mechanisms for future challenges. To address the immediate needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups, especially in times of crisis, as evidenced by the pandemic, micro-networks within communities have mitigated and reduced harm through self-devised ingenuity based on local ways of life. Socio-spatial micro-networks have the poten…Read more

297Portcityscapes as Liminal Spaces: Building Resilient Communities Through Parasitic Architecture in Port CitiesIn Saif Haq, Adil Sharag-Eldin & Sepideh Niknia (eds.), ARCC 2023 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING: The Research Design Interface, Architectural Research Centers Consortium, Inc.. 2023.Port Cities are historically the places for paradigm shifts, radical changes, and socio-economic transitions. In particular, the interaction zone between the port infrastructure and urban activities creates liminal spaces at the forefront of many contemporary challenges. In these liminal spaces, the port's flows, form, and function intertwine with urban contexts and conflict with the living conditions. Conceptualizing the portcityscape and harborscape as liminal space and urban thresholds leads …Read more

40Building Resilient Communities Over TimeIn Robert Brears (ed.), The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Futures, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer Nature. pp. 1-4. 2022.Community resilience entails the community’s ongoing and developing capacity to account for its vulnerabilities and function amid and recover from disturbance. A holistic and systematic approach of the community on how it uses material and energy resources or how a society educates the members' overtime is required to learn from the past and adapt to the present and future opportunities and threads. Community resilience has a long history in the local communities, which is embedded in their cult…Read more
