Architecture and urban design although it is located under social
sciences, but many practical works are done in terms of the analysis of the current urban environment condition, find solutions for current challenges and assume sustainable urban solutions for future cities. The revolution in technology, software and the emerge of the Internet of things in architecture and urban design made market is this discipline is developed in a very fast track. The open with the establishing of 20 future smart cities in Egypt and it is expected that the demands will increase on applied research that serve achieving the idea of smart and sustainable neighborhoods and cities.
Aim of SFCL : The capacity building of the research team in terms of Studying the complexity of urban systems in the cities in order to Find smart and sustainable urban solutions for current problems and future challenges
Urban systems
Better understanding for the urban systems, their mechanisms and related intricacies.
Interaction
In SFCL large groups of people and buildings, are simulated together using different tools (digital fabrication, simulation software, and virtual reality, internet of things) to understand the interactions happening between all the main objects composing systems.
Environmental simulation
many studies can be carried on those models in terms of Environmental Simulation and studies and other urban studies
