Architecture & Urbanism… A Smart Outlook

Contemporary cities are characterised by the concentration of economic activities and intense human interactions. They continuously develop and transform, while impacting the Earth and reflecting the cultural choices adopted by successive generations.

The International Conference “Architecture & Urbanism… A Smart Outlook” is hosted by the Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, engaging renowned international keynote speakers from the fields of architecture and urban planning. As a prime location for solar and wind resources, Egypt would become a hub for hosting and exchanging innovative initiatives.

The conference aims at addressing the challenges of unstoppable urbanization that gravely affect the world’s ecosystems. To become efficiently sustainable and regenerative, buildings and cities need to adopt smart solutions, which are instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. The conference discusses innovations of the built environment while depicting how such practices could transform future buildings and urban areas into places of higher value and quality.

Multi-disciplinary researchers, academics, as well as practitioners, are invited to share ideas, innovations and experiences. The conference is committed to showcasing and publishing researches and practical exemplars from established and emerging academics and professionals around the world.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

  • Abstract (max 400 words)
  • Full paper 8-10 pages length, following the paper template in the conference website  
  • Poster high resolution is required (min 300dpi), following the template in the conference website under the theme Practical Exemplars and Real-Life Experiences. AR-UP 2019 invites practitioners, entrepreneurs, visionaries, academics, and industrialists to contribute to the conference and present exemplary innovative practical experiences and solutions that reflect smart strategies and technologies in the planning of cities, the design of buildings and managing the overall built environment. Interested participants must submit an “Extended Abstract” with a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 1000 words. This extended abstract could be supported with a few illustrations, graphs and charts. Abstracts should be submitted in pdf file, formatted for blind peer review. Submitted abstracts should include problem identification, proposed solution, and feasibility as well as target users. Submissions should present new and creative solutions and already commercialized products. Accepted abstracts will be invited for final poster submission and a possible presentation at the AR-UP Conference. Practitioners’ teams are invited to present and explain their poster/project and to hand out any leaflets or any other information materials during the conference. The winner of the best AR-UP 2019 Poster will be announced during the final conference session (closing session). Timeline for the poster, please check the conference website. 

List of Topics

  • Smart Solutions: The digital revolution has brought with it numerous prospects of smart systems and practices, focusing on innovations in the built environment, such as Adaptive Architecture and Urbanism- Digital Architecture and Building Information Modelling (BIM) - Materials and Structural Systems - Cities, Mobility and Governance.

  • Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency: The challenges of energy exploitation, ongoing population growth and urbanization can be addressed through smart renewable energy deployment and the increase of energy efficiency in buildings, neighbourhoods, districts and cities: Energy Efficiency - Performance Aspects of Buildings and Cities - Solar City Development - Wind Energy - Carbon-neutrality Design - Policy, Legislation and Legal Framework.

  • Regenerative Design: The planning of cities and the design of buildings are going through a profound paradigm shift. Regenerative practices that restore and rejuvenate their own sources of energy and materials are considered organizing principles, ensuring that cities and buildings operate as circular systems, such as Design for Adaptability - Biomimetic Architecture - Regenerative Development - Urban Agriculture - Waste Management - Urban Metabolism.

  • People and Environment: Examining the interrelationship between people, nature and technology is essential in pursuing smart environments that optimize human well-being, motivation and vitality, as well as promoting cohesive and inclusive societies: Urban Sociology - Community Involvement - Place-making and Cultural Continuity – Environmental Psychology - Smart living - Just City.

  • Inception and Evolution: Revisiting evolutionary theoretical approaches, concerned with environmental remediation, offers a better understanding of conceptual frameworks of smart architecture and urbanism: Humanism and the Rise of Smart Technology - Digitalization and Virtualization - Smart Environments and Ambient Intelligence.

  • Education: Architecture and urbanism educational systems need constant updating to keep up with continuous technological advancements. The pedagogy of architecture and urbanism needs to bridge the gap between academia and practice, using innovative teaching methods and techniques.

  • Practical Exemplars and Real-Life Experiences: Presenting exemplary practical experiences that reflect smart strategies, technologies and innovations, by established and emerging professionals, provides a forum of real-life discourse.
