Recombinant wayfinding in the postdigital city: Flânerie, legibility, and sensory cartographies
Urban wayfinding has undergone a fundamental transformation over the last three decades. Driven by digital tools, platforms, and AI, this shift has recast both spatial perception and legibility. Yet recent research fails to address the complexity of the postdigital as a cultural condition, which unfolds across intersecting technological, embodied, and social registers. Moreover, prior scholarship often isolates the digital from the physical, trea…
Transferable tectonics: Rethinking building technology in the Arabian Gulf cities
Despite the Arabian Gulf's challenging environment, the predominant scenographic trend in Gulf architecture overlooks the significance of intergenerational (past to present) tectonic legacy in contemporary practices. The paper seeks to redress this oversight by exploring the nuanced intersections between architectural tectonics, built heritage and future advancements. Tectonics in building construction values material authenticity, structural log…

Mapping socio-physical legacies of Emirati villas: Contingency and spatial continuity or rift
UAE urban housing and planning history discourses commonly assume a sharp division between the pre-oil (before the 1950s) and the post-oil (since the 1960s) eras. It is a misleading assumption that flattens historical legacies and exempts pre-oil tribal and maritime built landscape from having a bearing on the emergence of more recent ‘iconic’ villas for the Emiratis/UAE citizens. Besides, status quo urban narratives are further dismissive of non…
An Ethnic House Form at the Western Margins of Southeast Asia: The Elusive South Asian Stilt Architecture of the Chittagong Hill Tracts
Descriptive and somewhat elusive, sketchy historical notes exist for possible cultural links between ethnic people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh, South Asia, and ethnic people across the national borders in Southeast Asia. Yet, there is a curious lack of research that uses vernacular architecture or ethnic architectural building typology as a key tool to establish, or reiterate, the common proposition that CHT is the western f…
Squaring the Circle: Reconciling the Need for Rigor with the Reality on the Ground in Resilience Impact Assessment
Currently shaping a large part of the development and humanitarian agenda the concept of resilience has been embraced by a large number of donors, development agencies, and international NGOs. As a consequence, an increasing number of development interventions that aim at strengthening the resilience of vulnerable households and communities are now being implemented across the globe. Along with these interventions, a growing and urgent call for r…
Tracking local dwelling changes in the Chittagong Hills: Perspectives on vernacular architecture
Historically, geographers, anthropologists and colonial British administrators (1860–1947) frequently mentioned two ethno-geographical categories – khoungtha and toungtha – when referring to the tribal groups in the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh. Some of these early works considered the livelihood patterns of these groups and the nature of their social and economic interactions. However, a discussion of the changes to their vernacular built envi…
Designed Outdoor Spaces and Greenery in a Brownfield Inner City Area: A Case Study from Sydney
The concept of designed green outdoor spaces that can be included in inner-city Sydney residential areas has recently generated much interest among savvy developers and architects alike. Given the paucity of open park-like spaces in inner Sydney and the current drive for urban consolidation—though the concept has been endorsed—yet, the detailed implications of such green spaces in the design and layout of residential complexes have received less …
