This paper explores the link between the current vision of the “smart city” and the notion of urban autopoiesis understood as self-organized/managed urban systems. It seeks to highlight how the use of GIS analysis, applied to the study of informal settlements, can provide useful information to understand the smart city paradigm. The paper argues the key idea that a smart city should not be seen only as a high-tech urban environment because the transition to smartness will need major changes in its inner structure. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative GIS analysis methods, this study examines the case of the BaSECo Compound, one of the densest informal settlements in Metro Manila (Philippines), with the aim of both generating a comprehensive morphological analysis of this dynamic urban area as well as contributing to the configurational theory of the smart city. The results suggest that the analysis of autopoietic urban systems could expand our understanding of how the structure of the city could evolve to accommodate the needs of its citizens and creating more resilient and inclusive communities.

Studying the relationship between the spatial organization of the urban fabric and social interaction is of great importance as it helps to develop a preventive strategy for the future in avoiding the numerous effects of losing social vitality from important parts of the city. This research aims to explore the dialectic relation between syntactic properties of space and the social dynamics in the city. To reach the goal, a structure of social integration contents in Amman city, is traced on two levels: the global city scale and for local districts. An axial map of "13661" lines is prepared for Amman by the researchers, and the conceptions of Space Syntax theory and the earlier and more general Graph Theory are utilized as evaluation tools for the social vitality of the axial spaces. The "integration" values are calculated using UCL Depth map Software. The outcome graphs of the UCL Depth map provide two important results; first, on the global city scale, the existence of a literally biased social vitality of urban spaces, since the axial lines with relatively high integration values are almost all located in western Amman; while the vast majority of eastern Amman axial lines has lower integration values. The other result is on the micro scale, the absence of a social-based clear definition of an urban space in the city of Amman.

The work aims to analyze the influence of translucent fences on the light environment in the prayer hall and internal premises with the traditional volumetric-spatial solution of stone mosques of the late XVIII - early ХХ centuries in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan, Russia). Based on the study of stone mosques in Kazan it was revealed that the main factor was the creation of a complete architectural image of the mosque following the temporary style and solution of the internal light environment through windows and stained-glass windows. Windows and stained-glass windows were scaled using architectural elements and decor for the holistic perception of the object. The significance of the obtained results for architecture is to present recommendations for the organic use of the studied techniques and methods of work on the objects of the architectural heritage in the restoration and design of modern mosques.
