“…Rainwater is a natural resource that can be easily collected from surrounding context like rivers, deep pit, drains, reservoir as well as from roof structures in building. The usage of rainwater had been acknowledged as part of architectural design since the early Greek architecture period when scholars discover that there were descriptions of outlet systems of rain water in the chart concerning kavediums which highlighted the five types (kinds) knowns as the Tuskian, the Corinthian, the four columned, the flowing and the roofed which exemplifies different methods of rain water channelling and diversion (Zayats and Murgul (2015). Since then, the practice of rainwater harvesting or method to collect rainwater runoff during raining time is widely accepted till modern context as cost saving methods of self-supply of water in buildings for daily usage (Zayats and Murgul (2015).…”

Nevertheless, in realising its natural importance and physical quality characteristics in terms of volumetric heat capacity as quick heat absorber, water usage also need to be considered in building design for passive cooling purposes and areal climate control (Breesch, Bossaer, & Janssens, 2005).…”

Performance of workers in terms of productivity level is determined by many related factors including a comfortable work space. Nevertheless, the discussion on the condition of work space environment namely in low rise office buildings and its related issues on thermal comfort in Malaysia are fairly new and is not well addressed. Past studies indicate that low rise offices found in many well-developed countries tend to utilize air conditioning as easiest ways to create a comfortable work space and to cool down the building interior. This factor had indirectly contributed to the increment of energy consumption namely in urban areas due to the rise of air condition consumption from 40% to 60% annually. As a result, contributed to the formation of urban heat island (UHI) which affect community’s environment and quality of life involving health and comfort. The objective of this paper therefore is to discuss and propose approaches on how to apply rainwater elements in architectural design for achieving thermal benefits through passive cooling. This is vital as Malaysia receives large amount of rainfall throughout the year in which this nature resources may provide advantages as sustainable source in cooling down the building temperature. For this purpose, case study as research strategy is adopted using mixed methodology combining qualitative and quantitative method. To conduct the data analysis, ECOTECT simulation and small field experiments are performed to investigate the cooling effect in low rise office building. Findings indicate that low rise office building which integrates rainwater elements in architectural design potentially improve the building thermal performance thus reducing building’s energy demand for space conditioning. This study is important as by adopting appropriate methods in addressing ecology issues will not only provide a comfortable living environment to the users but also established referential guideline in low rise office design.

“…Looking at the genesis of the city, we can come to the conclusion that the city was, even in Mesopotamia, divided into quarters. Furthermore, the Roman city was divided into quarters, with their smaller centers, while medieval towns were divided into residential districts or parishes [21]. Even in the thirties, the theories suggested that the city should be separated into groups of distinct area and shape, which are part of the hierarchical whole.…”

Abstract. City represents an incomplete dynamic process prone to the expansion with a causal link between urban expansion and socio-spatial segregation. The socio-spatial distribution in the city is mostly related to the increased social polarization and inequality. There is a clear connection between divided society and divided city: if society is divided, urban space must be divided. It is the question of the relations between the social inequalities on one hand, and spatial segregation on the other. In the last 10 years, Podgorica is the city that shows alarming statistic values when it comes to demographic trends and the influx of the residents from the northern municipalities, which necessarily causes the city sprawl. Past experiences show that city is unevenly expanding, creating new functions and zones expressed by socio-spatial differences. The beginning of this process lies in modernist conception of the city, by which city was mostly developed, while the current functional organization is based on the same concept. With the first urban plans, which carried similarproblems mentioned in previous section, Podgorica was divided into three clearly differentiated zones: Stara Varoš, Nova Varoš and Novi grad, which became a platform for hierarchical divisions within the space, reflecting them in the society.
