Structural tectonic to generate closed or semi-closed architectural spaces fulfills functional requirements and achieves structural and aesthetic conditions without sacrificing the role of shaping architecture and structural cohesiveness. The goal of the research is to investigate new architectural design methodologies emerging from the combination of tectonic systems and sustainable architecture to better understand tectonic architecture patterns in both traditional and digital forms. Tectonics organizes the analytical criteria for analyzing the constituent layers of architecture's formal structure in both designs and practice. By analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects and developing a clear mechanism to achieve a distinctive expressive sustainable architecture by integrating traditional tectonic factors in traditional sustainable practices and digital tectonic factors in technical sustainability, the study provides a conceptual framework under the theme of Sustainable Tectonics to define the formal structure of sustainable designs, traits, and layers detectable in sustainable architectural design. The study looked at key analytical features that may be utilized to analyze the underlying assumptions systematically. The analytical technique is a research strategy.

Man is viewed as a biological and social being with the unique power to create and build culture. Human biology and culture make up the first two axes of anthropology, time makes up the third. It is necessary to define anthropology as a separate field. It is the field of science that investigates how human beings produce things. Anthropology seeks to comprehend man by investigating a wide range of scientific issues that are related to one another and linked by a common science. Anthropometrics is the study of body proportions and other physical attributes. It is concerned with information concerning the size and shape of the human body and is used in industrial design, garment design, ergonomics, and architecture. Anthropometric data is displayed inside a design table demonstrating the average measures of the human figure, affected by ergonomic tools for the human shape, and used to explain the user or target scope of the design. The research aims to assess the office furniture using anthropometric factors of the sitting posture. And the use of data collection and anthropometric measurements of the sitting position, the study of areas of discomfort, and the study of postural deficiencies, particularly in office furniture, make it essential for the furniture to have an ergonomic design and ergonomic compatibility in size. Body discomfort was assessed using anthropometric factors. Little attention has been paid to ergonomic concerns in their contact with users, particularly about office furniture, making it critical that the furniture has an ergonomic design and an appropriate size.

The purpose is to find environmental designing criteria for internal vacuum in line with future thought and trends. This study analyzes the design problems resulting from applying some modern-thought schools and attempts to find a design hypothesis that applies the ecosystem concepts in designing future space and the modern-thought schools. This is done by analyzing such internal vacuum to its minutest details and by merging it with digital design in order to achieve a balanced strategy for internal vacuum. The practical application of the study takes one office vacuum and renovates it into a system of ecological contemporary design, following one design school. By the end of the study, ecological analysis and design are applied on several different case studies in an integrated manner between the interior designer and a variety of fields since the beginning of the design including the production of a new comprehensive infrastructure for the internal environmental based on the ecosystems thought. All this is achieved based on trends and technologies of the new century to convert the internal environmental of an eco-system that is digitally intelligent.

The study focuses on the Qaitbay Citadel area as an urban model as one of the most important historical-cultural tourism areas in Alexandria and how to maintain the continuity and development of tourism with its cultural heritage value. Within an integrated framework for preserving the urban heritage of historic waterfronts, a new design proposal has been conducted to preserve the urban heritage, while keeping pace with the functional tourism requirements of the area. Furthermore, reviews the analysis of the physical and design conditions based on old maps, photographs, questionnaires, and a SWOT for rehabilitating the area to be an economic center and a tourist attraction.

Humanity architectural spaces suffer from the clear separation of the system of human values and design considerations, due to the influence of architecture in humanity architectural theories and applications in which the human psychological and spiritual dimensions of architecture were absent from architecture in various times, as well as the entry of advanced techniques that were deprived of the spaces of their humanity, and trans them into dry and inhuman architectural spaces. The research paper aims to achieve and create architectural spaces that reinforce the concept of humanity and achieve the basic requirements in terms of functional, social, and environmental as a minimum to achieve humanity.

However, they reflect an attempt to turn fantasy into reality with the creation of more flexible solutions for the design of future non-traditional spaces with new design ideas. The problem of the research is to link the technical development to the development of the design thoughts of young people and students of internal architecture through the testing of new design ideas. The study cast light on the design hypothetical thought and the effect of imagination as a derive in the development of creative ability of design for the students of internal architecture according to the rules and conditions governing the design process using modern digital techniques to reach the best results, where creativity is currently an industry that can be applied to the student of arts in general and interior architecture in particular, to stimulate and develop them and unleash their imagination to reach the best results in addition to the rehabilitation of a new generation of talented designers to cope with the design development around us since the skills are a gift that needs a continuous development. By studying the elements of creativity, the ratio of creative works did not exceed 4% which calls for reexamining the mechanisms of the development of design ideas to stimulate the creative ideas of the youth. The digital revolution has succeeded in integrating many technological applications and launching them into more complex applications, resulting in a dramatic shift in the media used in architecture and interior design, either as a system or a practice from sketches to design. The design process, which until recently seemed to be unaffected by the intrusion of electronic means now appear ready to redefine its methodology to integrate and unite with the computer. The changes in the design cannot be considered as a transient and fleeting phenomenon. Computer will occupy a prominent place as part of the design environment that characterizes the twenty first century. In addition, the development of the art of design will closely connect with the computer in the coming years.
