Artificial intelligence, programming, and cloud computing are the focus of attention and direction for students and workers in various applications of science these days. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an example of one of these applications in the field of the construction industry. It has a great revolutionary impact on professionals' way of work, strategy of cooperation between construction parties, and business management. It is a practical approach that can manage the construction projects' life cycle activities and be used by the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction specialists (AEC) to ensure the projects' excellent quality, reduce cost, and facilitate communication among different contractors. And since the emergence of nanotechnology, it was employed in the field of building and finishing materials and has proven its great ability to improve and enhance the efficiency of building performance. Nanotechnology is becoming a future trend that is dreamed of by various participants in construction. The research aims to determine the role of nanotechnology in each stage of the construction project life cycle based on the RIBA plan of work classification. Then specify the degree of importance of each stage. This is achieved by exploring the opinions of field experts using an electronic questionnaire and evaluating the results using the Relative Importance Index (RII) analytical tool. Through this, the most important stages of the project that nanotechnology affects are identified and the role of BIM at these stages is determined to help stakeholders of construction projects using BIM in making decisions and evaluate the importance of project phases.

The Increase in explosive bombs and terrorist attacks in the last decade whether in the military or non-military building has shown that the impact of it should be taken in the design process.Egypt was one of the countries targeted by terrorism, especially in Sinai, and that resulted ina huge loss, whether in civilians or in the members of the armed forces. In response to this challenge, this study sheds light on the architectural and structural considerations and roles that could mitigate the potential terrorist threat in buildings, especially the military buildings, as well, determine the most important considerations and roles that affect in designing safe fixed security points through an electronic questionnaire examined by multidisciplinary stakeholders (25 experts) involved in making a key decision in this subject, then,according to " design-based on evidence" a reliable smart architecturalmodel for a safe security surveillance point was suggested for defending and encountering the negative impact of the terrorist attack in Sinai.

Today, architecture is one of the finest products of the creative human mind that God has given us. Its existence is a necessity which makes the aspects of human life and way of thinking balanced between endless desires and needs. This confirms the strong relationship between the architectural product and humans. This relationship is based on providing humans with their needs and it aims to find appropriate solutions to the problems facing them. Additions that can be added to the architectural product such as motion help in activating the interaction in this relationship. The movement is added to the architectural output to express a new relationship between the environment and the human who was affected by the existence of motors and its utilitarian, technical, and aesthetic issues. The research focuses on how these effects can be exploited to solve problems like energy consumption that is a main problem in the construction process.
