The rock-cut heritage of the Kayseri Valleys represents a distinctive vernacular tradition shaped by technological skill, social practices, and environmental adaptation. These systems, evolving from carved spaces to maso...

Copper matrix composites face the inherent strength-conductivity trade-off, limiting their high-end applications. Inspired by bone and bamboo, a bioinspired oriented multicore composite (BOMC) was fabricated. Its dual-ne...

With the rapid evolution of virtual reality technologies such as digital twins, industrial Internet of Things, edge intelligence, and metaverse, virtual‒reality integration has become a core driving force for the const...

Abstract In response to the dual challenges of complex static obstacles and frequent dynamic disturbances in the construction site environment, this paper proposes a hybrid path planning strategy that integrates global s...

Abstract This study investigates the influence of graphene nanoparticle (GNP) reinforcement on the fatigue behavior of textile structural composites with unidirectional (UD), two-dimensional (2D) satin, and three-dimensi...

The “Findings in…” section in this issue of VLC arquitectura is devoted to Architectural Construction, a field whose recent evolution highlights its capacity to open up new lines of reflection and research on the b...

This study evaluates the cost implications of green building practices in low-rise residential housing by analyzing three sample houses in Kayseri, Türkiye. It compares traditional construction systems with green altern...

In recent years, in rural areas, rurban processes where rural and urban characteristics are intertwined and have attracted attention. In these areas, especially second homes, new second infrastructure investments and pop...

Background: Cardiac complications arising from diabetes mellitus manifest as structural and functional myocardial alterations independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The intricate molecular underpinnings ...

Abstract Architecture today faces urgent demands for sustainable transformation in the context of climate change and ecological crisis. A central challenge lies not only in improving material performance or reducing emis...

Biofabricated scaffolds facilitate bona fide cellular interactions, cell type specification, and the formation of three-dimensional tissue architecture from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). However, xenogenic biomat...

This study reports the fabrication and evaluation of layered scaffolds based on polylactide/polycaprolactone (PLPC) matrices for osteochondral-inspired designs. Bilayer architectures comprised a bone-facing layer with mi...

Bulk Ti–Ni–Cu–Pd alloys show decent thermal- and load-cycling stability, yet low strength and limited recoverable strain. Here, we design a gradient Ti–Ni–Cu–Pd ribbon via nanoscale dual-phase (nanocrystallin...

Abstract A novel biphasic Dy2Hf2O7-HfO2 composite was synthesized via a solid-state reaction route for potential thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the reaction between Dy2O3 and...

Digital health increasingly relies on artificial intelligence for clinical decision-making, patient management, and distributed learning, yet two persistent challenges remain: the computational complexity of optimization...

After reading this issue of VLC#13.1, it becomes apparent that, little by little, the magazine is helping to build knowledge around a series of recurring themes of interest, such as the links between architecture and the...

The German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exhibition, a benchmark of 20th-century rationalist architecture designed by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, was built on a plinth made up of seventy tile vaults. This decisio...

Studies carried out for sustainable and low carbon emission rural area design and planning are important in minimising the effects of climate change and protecting the ecology. Especially in rural areas, the choice of lo...

This work introduces a novel geometrical and analytical modeling framework for predicting the stiffness properties of knitted composites, a class of materials known for their complex architectures and versatile mechanica...

Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells are promising candidates for high-specific-power photovoltaics due to their strong light-matter interactions, such as their high absorption coefficients. The per...

Modern communication environments ranging from smart mobility infrastructures to digitally integrated health care systems demand adaptable and trustworthy network security. In this situation, software-defined networks (S...
