The idea of reducing carbon footprint and increasing awareness of green energy sources has brought attention to the need for sustainable communities. In order to achieve this, there is a growing interest in developing walkable neighbourhoods and planning for livable communities. This requires careful consideration of land use patterns, transportation systems, public facilities, housing, and design features of buildings. An important aspect of planning is to create a neighbourhood framework where buildings form housing groups and interact with the surrounding space. It is crucial to improve walkability and promote independence and autonomy in walking. A fundamental principle is recognizing transportation as an essential aspect of this vision, which leads to better community connectivity and livability.

New vision of designing a museum in historical places is not only a testament to the country's rich history and culture but also a testament to the power of community involvement and sustainable design .The paper explores the challenges of designing museums in historical places and proposes a new approach that takes into account the cultural and historical context of the site .The paper proposes a new approach to museum design that takes into account the cultural and historical context of the site. This approach involves conducting a thorough analysis of the site's history, cultural significance, and architectural features. The design of the museum is then informed by this analysis, with the aim of creating a space that respects and enhances the historical and cultural significance of the site.

When disaster strikes, the first order of business is to provide immediate shelter for those affected. However, traditional emergency shelters are often temporary, unsustainable, and fail to meet the long-term needs of the affected communities. The research project involves the development of innovative housing designs that are both sustainable and cost-effective. These designs are based on the principles of sustainable architecture, using materials and construction techniques that are environmentally friendly and minimise waste. The designs are also adaptable to different environments and contexts, ensuring that they can be used in a variety of emergency situations.

As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for housing has never been greater. But with limited space and resources, it's becoming increasingly important to design residential units that are not only comfortable and livable but also energy-efficient and sustainable. The Influential research project is focused on developing the optimal orientation for residential units within housing blocks to maximise energy efficiency and sustainability. The project aims to identify the most efficient and sustainable orientation for residential units by studying factors such as solar radiation, wind direction, and shading. The project also takes into account important factors such as natural ventilation, day lighting, and thermal comfort to ensure that the residential units are not only sustainable but also comfortable and livable.

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable development, the importance of energy-efficient and sustainable housing cannot be overstated. The conservation of the waterfront of Saida project revitalises the historic waterfront area of Saida through sustainable tourism and culture-led initiatives. The project focuses on the preservation and restoration of the historic architecture and cultural heritage of the area, while also promoting sustainable tourism and economic development. The project aims to create a model for revitalization in other valuable areas, using a holistic approach that integrates cultural, social, and economic factors. The overall goal of the project is to promote sustainable development that benefits the local community, preserves cultural heritage, and promotes tourism.

A well-designed workspace can have a significant impact on employee productivity, health, and well-being. The research project is focused on identifying the key factors that contribute to a high-quality workspace and developing guidelines for the design and construction of workspaces that promote human performance, health, and well-being. The project also aims to identify sustainable materials and construction methods that can be used in the design of workspaces, promoting sustainable development and reducing environmental impact.

Cairo has grown and many of its historic urban quarters have fallen into disrepair, threatening the cultural heritage and historic significance of the city. The research project aims to revitalise the historic urban quarter of Al-Muizz Street in Cairo using sustainable development concepts. The research project takes a holistic approach to revitalization by studying the cultural, social, and economic significance of the area, and identifying sustainable solutions for the preservation and restoration of the historic architecture and cultural heritage of the area. The project also focuses on promoting sustainable tourism and economic development that benefits the local community.

The outdoor spaces are important for promoting children's physical and mental well-being as low-income neighbourhoods lead to negative impacts on children's health and well-being. The project aims to identify the key factors that contribute to child-friendly outdoor spaces, including safety, accessibility, playability, and social interaction, and develop guidelines and recommendations for the design and construction of safe, accessible, and child-friendly outdoor spaces. The project also focuses on promoting sustainable development and community empowerment by identifying sustainable materials and construction methods. The project has the potential to improve the quality of life for children and families in low-income neighbourhoods.

This paper aims to examine the evolution of museums throughout history, the impact of technology on the industry, and the relationship between the definition of a museum and resulting buildings. The hypothesis is that museums have been modified by technological, political, and social changes. The conclusion will determine if the current mission of museums is relevant. Architecture reflects society, and thus, must evolve with society.

Over half of the global population now lives in urban areas, leading to biodiversity loss. Urban biodiversity can be promoted through green infrastructure, but current approaches are limited. This research aims to develop design parameters for wildlife-inclusive green infrastructure and promote socio-ecological frameworks for interaction between urban communities and wildlife. Using a case study of the Shouf Biosphere Reserve in Lebanon, the research shows that designing green infrastructure with both local ecosystems and urban inhabitants in mind can yield beyond "green" results. Nature-based solutions can provide alternative infrastructure for local ecosystems, and immediate action plans are needed to prevent further species loss.
