Built Environment and Engineering Design (BEED)

As there is greater pressure for sustainable development, the requirements for the environment are becoming more demanding. There is broad agreement that densely populated urban areas should be more sustainable than rural areas. However, while over half of the planet's population lives in cities, they account for more than 75% of the consumption of non-renewable resources, causing climate change. The Built Environment and Engineering Design (BEED) Division will take a new perspective on the sustainable built environment and strategic and resilient approaches to responding to unprecedented events such as climate change. Also, the sustainability of the environment needs to be discussed in line with traditional architectural design, history, theory, and methodology. Therefore, the sessions aim to bring together architects, historians, designers, built environment professionals, climate and energy researchers, policy experts, and government officials to discuss recent research and works. The sessions of the BEED will allow delegates to increase their knowledge and skills related to building design, history, sustainable development, resilience, stakeholder engagement, and the performance of buildings and materials. A total of 6 oral sessions, including a keynote speech (Dr. Luca Simeone) & a roundtable discussion in BE2, is organized at EKC 2024. July 31st (Wednesday) · 9:00-10:40 [BE1] Urban & Architectural History Research (Chair: Kwangjin Lee) · 11:00-12:30 [BE2] (Keynote & Round Table) Thinking as a design material in city-making: Involving city stakeholders in design journeys that deepen their way of envisioning the future (Keynote: Luca Simeone; Chairs: Euiyoung Kim & Semina An) Aug. 1st (Thursday) · 9:00-10:40 [BE3] Changing with the Times - Revitalizing Brownfields in Cities (Chair: Nammyoung Hong) · 11:00-12:40 [BE4] Sustainable Built Environment (Chair: Moon Keun Kim) · 14:00-15:40 [BE5] Acoustics and its Impacts on Built Environments (Chair: Pyoung-jik Lee) · 16:00-17:40 [BE6] Co-creating Sustainable and Resilient Future for the Built Environment (Chair: Nicola Colaninno)

Synopsis
In the realm of cities and architecture, unlike other fields of technology, technological advancement does not inherently equate to a qualitative improvement. Newly created cities and architecture do not necessarily guarantee a quality of life, but rather, in a city that has been formed for thousands of years, you can see the quality of the city and learn its continuity. Since modern times, many cities in Europe have been planned and formed with modern cities and modern architecture, but today we concern about the continuity of those cities. Furthermore, facing newly emerging global issues such as climate change, environmental pollution, demographic change, immigration issues and diseases, we are being asked to set new directions for urban and architectural planning today. This Challenge about new cities and architecture are not simply a part that can be solved by technological solutions, but rather a part that needs to be created bit by bit through dialogue with its urban History. In this EKC 2024 session, we would like to focus on various todays architectural and urban issues, which should be understood with its urban History.

Synopsis
Today, finding vacant sites within cities has become increasingly challenging. In many cases, urban land is already in use, but due to evolving needs and circumstances, brownfields have fallen into disuse. These brownfields, marked by a mismatch between their past uses and current requirements, demand fresh approaches for revitalization. This session aims to explore the revitalization of brownfields in urban settings. First, the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders involved in the brownfield revitalization process can be examined. For instance, contemporary housing projects that rehabilitate existing structures to accommodate population growth can play a crucial role in repurposing brownfields and generating revenue for both private enterprises and governments. However, it is essential to view brownfield revitalization not solely as a profit-driven endeavor but also as a means of promoting citizen participation and enhancing public awareness. The discussion will encompass the creation of accessible public spaces within cities, as opposed to exclusively commercial developments. Furthermore, the session will delve into the challenges related to preserving the historical uses of these brownfields and connecting them to the present. This includes designating certain sites and buildings as cultural assets and implementing history preservation initiatives. Naturally, questions will arise regarding the appropriate technology and techniques for redeveloping brownfields while maintaining their historical integrity. Topics of interest will include integrating new architecture with existing structures and achieving climate-neutral construction within historic buildings, a task that has historically proven to be challenging. This session promises to showcase numerous examples of urban development and architecture undergoing transformations from the past to the future. After presenting several case studies, session participants can further explore the utilization of brownfields within the city and examine the challenging position and complex process of urban spatial planning that these cases exemplify. From this viewpoint, it becomes evident that urban spatial planning is far from a straightforward endeavor, requiring consideration of various stakeholders, encompassing market interests, technical aspects, and discussions within civil society. In the end, the development of urban spatial planning such as brownfields is a crucial factor in determining the eclectic nature of the city. It involves more than just replacing the existing city model with a new one; it entails active participation by various actors in a process aimed at reaching compromises while constructing urban landscapes for our future society.

Synopsis
Climate change, economic and energy crises, and increasing population challenge the current built environment, adding burden on limited resources and space. Especially in advanced countries such as the Netherlands, buildings and infrastructures built more than 70 years ago face the end of their technical, functional, and financial life cycles. In addition, the transition towards a just, green, smart, sustainable, and resilient society calls for innovation in technology and governance of the built environment. The urgency to (re)construct a built environment that is both sustainable and resilient has never been more critical. It's crucial to rethink how we design and build our surroundings amidst evolving challenges and uncertainties. This session aims to discuss innovative strategies, technologies, and collaborative approaches to promote sustainability and resilience in our built environment. Key topics include: - Creating Sustainable Urban Spaces: urban planning strategies that prioritize compact development, green spaces, and equal access to amenities to build sustainable and resilient communities - Building Resilient Infrastructure: inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to strengthen critical infrastructure under increasing uncertainty and complexity - Circular Economy Principles: how to embrace circular economy principles in construction that can minimize waste and promote sustainable materials management - Community Involvement: engaging communities in the planning process to ensure inclusivity and social equity in building sustainable futures - Technology and Human: changing relationship and interaction between technology and human - Policy and Governance: effective policy frameworks and governance models that incentivize sustainable practices in the built environment Through presentations and panel discussions, this session aims to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange towards building a sustainable and resilient future for the built environment. We especially welcome interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects to present their work.
