Architectural and ecological development   model   can be  identified   by  studying genetic evolution of living beings and their surrounding environment, which makes every one of them complement the other, an integral part of it, and the basis of its existence. Architects started to get back to nature to look for the keys for building sustainability, because elements of nature are a   creative, rich, and useful  source  of  inspiration   and   learning   for architects and designers to present sustainable designs. Getting inspired by or simulating living forms should not lead to making exact copies of them. The real lesson is to benefit from the substantial idea and the basis of the natural system composing it. This leads us to the problem of the present study: There are no enough local studies on the importance and role of living nature simulation in terms of shape, composition, and structural systems to create sustainable   systems.  Hypothesis of the  study  is:  the  harmony shown  by natural, organic structures resulting from the integration of shape with structural function can be employed in architecture shapes and structures by merging shape and function in a symbiotic relationship resembling to a great extent biological , genetic development in their re-formations appearing in natural organic structures. Aim   of   the   study:   Discovering   formational   and   environmental   constraints   of elements   of   nature   and   emerging   with   applied   indications   in   the   field   of constructional   systems   simulation   of   living   nature   and   the   possibility   of transferring them to accomplish sustainable architecture. The results and conclusions shows the need , importance and effectiveness of Simulation  the Natural Living Structural Systems to Achieve sustained Architecture ,and the integration of technical solutions to create a balance between the natural environment and the manufacturers and energy exploitation, and the adoption of passive systems and merged with the systems design, integration between nature and technology. Finally we got that the final conclusions and practical framework and recommendations.

Potential Use

Information Systems in the past few years became a keystone of society. History shows that in some Information Systems one simple failure can lead to disproportioned economic and social damages. Initially used in structural systems, the theory of vulnerability searches for this type of failure. This theory identifies failures in which small damage can have disproportionate impact consequences in terms of the functionality of the whole system. To test and evaluate these failures injections and analyze the impacts of them in sensitive Information Systems, simulation provides an interesting approach. By mimicking systems and representing them through models, simulation studies an imitated system without disrupting the system itself. Simulation provides a safer approach to explore and test the system in damage scenarios without real consequences. This paper discusses the use of the theory of vulnerability in Information Systems simulation.

Organizational Requirements

Traditional methods of systems design have tended to concentrate on capturing functional requirements and from them develop a system that will provide users with a technical solution to a problem they may have. However, there is a growing understanding, with historical origins in sociotechnical systems theory, that technical solutions alone, regardless of how well designed, may not succeed fully unless there is a concomitant understanding of the organization into which the technical solution is to be introduced. Organizational requirements, therefore, should become considerations of equal importance to systems designers. The ESPRIT Project ORDIT (organizational requirements definition for information technology) has developed a methodology which identifies and operationalizes organizational requirements for IT systems. This paper presents a case study in which the ORDIT concepts are applied to the process of introducing an IT system into a courtroom.

Vacuum Insulation Panel

Vacuum insulation panel is the one type of the insulation materials. The characteristics of this material are not only low thermal conductivity, good sound insulation, energy efficient, environmental protection but also with no ODS material. However, the inadequate mechanical properties of this material limit its application of insulation in construction . Thus, this research proposed the uses of the connection of structure and function of vacuum insulation panel in construction , and tested against its Sound Insulation Property. new construction sound insulation standards was adopted for evaluating the result of Sound Insulation Property to study the building insulation performance of the vacuum insulation composites

Technical Solutions

Building structural systems with light gauge steel framing technology are steadily gaining popularity due to their huge advantages over traditional technical solutions. As a result of the competitiveness inherent in LGSF technology, its application is gradually increasing in the manufacture of both bearing and nonbearing structures. At the same time, the actual absence of national standards for seismic design requires the development of programs and the implementation of research and development work to study the behavior of LGSF buildings in the conditions of seismic impact. The article touches upon the main problems of antiseismic construction of LGSF buildings and presents the results of domestic and foreign research.

There is an urgent need to provide, maintain and revitalize social housing in Canada. Statistics show that an alarming percentage of Toronto's population lives in poverty. 71,000 families are currently on the social-housing waiting list and 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are homeless. This research provides a critical analysis of the past and existing issues surrounding the design and function of social housing communities. In response to the issues outlined, this study identifies a need for the design of mixed-activity, 'integrated neighbourhoods' rather than isolated social housing schemes. The thesis proposes an architectural solution that draws on five guiding principles (modes of integration) of design. Integration of movement, open spaces, physical structures, social integration, and integrated sustainable systems were the five categories used to examine the level of intervention necessary for the revitalization of a selected site; Alexandra Park, Toronto, Canada.
