“…The formalist vocabulary of sculpture developed into a "new language of vision" and moved away from the simulation of natural surfaces and features, carrying on the evolutionary trends [27]. According to one of the definitions of modern landscape architecture, it is a "synthesis discipline that successfully achieves a consensus between function, structure, and forms inside the constructed space, allowing human life to evolve in an organized manner" [28]. In landscape architecture, form, color, and space are presented to solve the issues of function, purpose, and context not as ends in themselves, but as processes to stimulate activities, elicit responses, and express meaning environmental sustainability [29].…”

When we think about sustainability, the most common understanding relates to the environment, economy, and social issues. Environmental art is increasingly becoming a medium to address environmental challenges that offer many opportunities when included in the work of sustainable development. The research methodology explores the relevance of art and design projects using recycled or waste materials in landscape park architecture for sustainability, helping to preserve natural resources and protect the environment. Additionally, designing a landscape park in Al-Ahsa Governorate using recycled waste materials will educate society about sustainability via artistic creativity. The applied side, designing a group of artworks, was completed using computer graphic programs and AI systems to improve the visual landscape’s architectural aesthetics through sculpture parks, public sets, etc. The result provides evidence that parks in Al-Ahsa lack artwork, color, and the application of recycled materials in landscape facilities which make a negative contribution to the quality of life of society. Using recycled and waste materials in artwork will contribute to a healthy ecological system and preserve natural resources. Urban landscape designers should consider the addition of parks, land formation, growing plants, artwork, and cheerfully colored furniture with other landscape architecture facilities, which will improve people’s moods and the appearance of cities.

“…A multi-criteria method was used to prepare seismic risk maps for Ahmedabad, using AHP with a combination of physical criteria (overburden thickness, shear-wave velocity, liquefaction factor of safety and amplification factor, estimated peak ground acceleration) [59]. MCDA techniques were also used in a study of urban seismic risk in Romania [60] that included cultural identity as one of the criteria to be considered. In addressing a similar issue in Italy, [61], also used MCDA methods and included the strategic contribution of the buildings to the economy of the region as part of the selection strategy.…”

The SCOPUS and Wed of Science bibliometric databases were searched for papers related to the use of multi-criteria methods in civil engineering related disciplines. The results were analyzed for information on the reported geographical distribution of usage, the methods used, the application areas with most usage and the software tools used. There was a wide geographical distribution of usage with all northern hemisphere continents well represented. However, of the very many methods available, a small number seemed to dominate usage, with the Analytic Hierarchy Process being the most frequently used. The application areas represented in the documents found was not widely spread and mainly seemed to be focused on issues such as sustainability, environment, risk, safety and to some extent project management, with less usage on other areas. This may be due to individual engineer’s choices in relation to if and how to disseminate the results of their work and to their choice of keywords and titles that determine if their publications are selected in bibliographic searches and thus more visible to a wider readership. A comparison with more topic focused searches, relating to Bridge Design, Earthquake Engineering, Cladding, Sewage Treatment, Foundation design, Truss design, Water Supply, Building Energy, Route selection and Transport mode showed very different results. Analysis of the papers in this area indicated that the full range of supporting software available for multi-criteria decision analysis (many listed in this paper) may not be fully appreciated by potential users.
