Published: January 2024

In fiqh learning, there are many complex laws, principles, and concepts where this requires encouragement that can improve students' way of thinking. The use of audio-visual learning media is one of the factors that can support this achievement. Video-based learning is a learning tool based on the use of video as a medium. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of animated video instructional media in Islamic jurisprudence learning. Through the meta-analysis method, twenty national journal articles published between 2015-2023 that discussing the use of animated video-based instructional media in fiqh learning were analyzed. The results of the meta-analysis show that the use of animated video instructional media has a highly positive effect on fiqh learning at various levels of education, both elementary, junior high, and high school. Based on the topics of jurisprudence studied, the use of animated video learning media has a significant influence on the topic of procedures for ablution and pilgrimage. Meanwhile, a slightly lower influence occurred on the topic of procedures for prayer, fasting, and zakat. In addition, the use of animated video learning media also has a significant positive influence on learning aspects which include understanding concepts, learning motivation, critical thinking skills, and information retention. In terms of increasing understanding of fiqh concepts, the use of animated video learning media has a higher influence compared to other learning methods, such as power points, textbooks, and group discussions. This shows that animated video learning media is effective in helping students understand the concept of Islamic law better. The results of this study provide empirical evidence that supports the effectiveness of using animated video instructional media in Islamic jurisprudence learning.

As the number of older adults continues to grow rapidly, the need for personalized, innovative, and responsive housing solutions is critical to support individuals’ social, emotional, financial, and physical needs. This research deploys an outcomes-based design approach to explore ways in which Agile Dwelling Units (AgDUs) with integrated Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be used to prolong older adults’ ability to live independently and age in place. A multidisciplinary team of industry experts, design practitioners, and scholars, worked collaboratively across three focus areas – human factors, health technologies, and design – to model a process that supports the contextual understanding, exploration, and deployment of AgDUs for an aging population. Using Dallas, Texas as a case study, developed methodology and research was applied to a one-semester academic studio course, in which architecture students designed initial prototypes to create healthy and flexible living spaces that adapt to the ever-changing needs of one’s lifespan. This project models an integrated process between designers and non-designers that is necessary when addressing complex urban systems. Shared knowledge synthesis and innovation generated in collaborative practice with allied disciplines is equally as important in architectural education as it is in practice, to prepare students to be socially responsive and relevant professionals.
Tackling Climate Change: Integrated Planning of Mumbai’s Eastern Waterfront
Authors:   University of Notre Dame, Krusche Krupali
Published: January 2024

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) AR-6 report from the United Nations spelled out how urbanization has pushed up intense rainfall in cities across South Asia using several scientific pieces of evidence generated on Indian cities. The report builds on an analysis by NASA predicting that several Asian cities on or near the coastline would have to withstand significant sea level rise by 2100. The Eastern Waterfront of Mumbai city is a property mainly under the Mumbai Port Authority (MPA), a large holding for the Indian Navy and other Government activities. This area is predominantly used as a port and has been opened for new development in recent months. As the city grows, this land will play a vital role in the future development of the city. Based on the current first estimates made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), University of Colorado studies, this area indicates fast deterioration by the liquefaction of soil. Therefore, there is a dire need to study the area in greater detail and create a comprehensive understanding of the impact of sea level rise before new infrastructure is developed that brings more vulnerable people to this site. This paper presents an expanding innovative solutions design exercise and supports a study focusing on the issue and a mitigation strategy through green infrastructure solutions. It will involve the expertise of the University of Notre Dame, the University of Colorado, NASA, and Xylem Water Solutions & Water Technologies. The area’s urban development will house a few hundred people once developed to reduce the impact of coastal flooding and sea level rise.
Living-with-Water: a Comprehensive Design Proposal to Build Flood Resilience in the Roncador River Region, Brazil
Authors:   University of Waterloo, Eniglish Elizabeth C. , Ottoni Maria Luiza ,   University of Waterloo
Published: January 2024

Informal settlements on riverbanks in impoverished Brazilian peripheries have been increasingly suffering from more intense annual urban floods, as in the Roncador River region in Duque de Caxias City. This article proposes a comprehensive solution for flood risk reduction (FRR) through an integrated approach in design. By recognizing water as an ally, this study connects a system of green areas along the river corridor and within the urban fabric with amphibious evolutionary housing as an adaptive solution that protects houses from flood damage. As a low-impact intervention, it prioritizes nature-based strategies and local community practices, fostering local economies to fight gentrification and contributing to building a more equitable future. The methodology identifies the region’s problems and opportunities, followed by a literature review on FRR solutions and incremental housing design strategies. Lastly, two sites were selected to propose the design intervention. As a result, the design applies adaptability strategies on different scales, accepting floods, allowing transformations, and adapting to the local context. The proposed green areas’ system on the watershed scale increases soil permeability and water storage and reduces stormwater runoff. On the housing scale, residents are provided with a low-cost, flexible, and amphibious starter house that is half the potential final house area on safe nearby lands. The design solution promotes economic benefits, as implementing a network of parks improves the land value and generates local sources of employment. The project’s innovation is combining incremental design strategies with amphibious architecture to offer good quality and affordable housing that adapts to floods, empowering marginalized communities to thrive in healthier riverscapes. In addition, this solution could be applied to improve the livelihood of other flood-prone communities in similar informal contexts.
A Toolkit for Circular Construction of Retail and Commercial Spaces
Authors:   Carnegie Mellon University, Lee Joshua D. , Vaz Ryan ,   Carnegie Mellon University, Harari Yarden ,   CallisonRTKL
Published: January 2024

Retail interior fit-outs have an average lifespan of only 4.5 years¹ while commercial fit-outs average just 7.8 years.² This extremely rapid turnover is significantly shorter than other project typologies and contributes an outsized portion of the 188 million tons of building-related construction, renovation, and demolition debris generated annually in the United States.³ Construction professionals that focus on retail and commercial projects can support resilient futures by identifying circular paths for construction materials.Our team of academic researchers and industry experts developed a tool that utilizes standardized economic values, performance testing criteria, and a variety of sustainability rating tools to evaluate the reuse potential of individual materials, focusing on the retail and commercial interior fit-outs. This information allows architects, contractors, and clients to evaluate the reuse potential while being cognizant of the number of years a material can remain in use. Initial trials indicate high wastage factors among commonly used materials due to early planning decisions. We also found that commercial interiors such as offices tend to use large volumes of modular, commodity materials that could be easily reused whereas specialty retail environments tend to use customized products in limited quantities but with higher resale value by unit. This tool can also aid project teams in making informed decisions while decommissioning existing facilities and planning new ones. Building owners can use the tool to capitalize on the benefits of circularity between existing and new projects within their portfolio. Architectural salvage companies can rationalize resale prices based on anticipated material performance that still remains. By focusing first on the building sectors with the highest turnover rates we hope to significantly decrease the millions of tons of construction, renovation, and demolition debris produced each year. In the future we plan to improve the tool’s robustness and usability and we will evaluate other sectors to provide sector-based benchmarks that will further aid decision making across a wider range of project types.

Generative Machine Learning Models for Airflow Prediction of Architectural Spaces
Authors:   University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Rodriguez Fernando J. Claudio
Published: January 2024

Buildings have been identified as one of the biggest contributors of negative environmental impacts worldwide, more specifically energy usage due to the use of air conditioning and mechanical ventilation. Strategies such as cross-ventilation have become a reliable alternative to diminish some of these effects. However, designing for cross ventilation is no easy feat, as it requires architects and designers to study in detail the building context, overall massing design and building enclosure to maximize airflow potential. On the other hand, Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) airflow simulations are not used as often in architectural settings primarily due to time constraints, lack of performance metrics and quality assurance. The proper use of CFD airflow simulations involves a complex setup and run-time process, due to the large mathematical calculations involved.This study aims to apply existing generative machine learning algorithms to compute CFD wind velocity simulations to significantly shorter run times while maintaining a relatively high accuracy level, during the initial design stages. To test the proposed hypothesis, multiple machine learning models were created, trained, and tested. The evaluation metrics for these models consisted of using different image similarity methods to compare the images produced by the machine learning model to their CFD engine counterparts. The results obtained indicate that GAN application for CFD airflow predictions can produce acceptable results showing a significant run time difference of over a minute between the CFD simulation and the machine learning model. Having evaluated and proven this study as a proof of concept, this can set the precedents for further research on the use of CFD airflow simulations and machine learning within architectural practice.

Over the past century, fire suppression and increased human settlement at the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) have led to dramatic increases in the risk and impact of catastrophic wildfires.1 Climate change contributes to the problem by increasing temperatures and aridity, and by reducing precipitation in fire prone regions.2 A 2016 study found that climate change doubled the cumulative forest fire area in the American West since 1984.3 The direct and indirect costs of wildfire include emergency firefighting costs, property losses, impairment to air and water quality, injuries and fatalities, healthcare costs, infrastructure shutdowns, and lost revenues. Architects working near the WUI are required by law to specify construction materials and create site plans with fire suppression and life safety in the context of severe wildfires in mind. Working successfully in the WUI demands that designers have a deeper understanding of the carbon cycling, land management practices, and funding obstacles connected to forest systems. This paper discusses the work of Yale University’s Carbon Containment Lab (CC Lab) to develop a building typology called the Carbon Vault, a low-cost, nature-based structure for storing carbon in woody biomass. Carbon vaults address the need to reduce and contain wood fuel in forests that are prone to severe wildfire. A fire-resistant form of Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) mass timber, called Residual DLT, is presented in this paper as a construction material for carbon vaults in the WUI. Residual DLT addresses the wood waste of forest land management practices, especially those in forests prone to severe fire, by creating an opportunity to engage carbon offset markets.

تسبيب الأحكام القضائية هو أحد الموضوعات التي يوليها الفقه المقارن أهمية كبرى، وقد تناولت هذه الدراسة تسبيب الأحكام المدنية وهي عملية فنية يقصد بها بيان الأسس الواقعية والقانونية التي أسس القاضي عليها منطوق الحكم، والتسبيب بهذا المفهوم غاية في الأهمية ويحقق وظائف متعددة لم تكن لتغيب عن ذهن المشرع الأردني الذي ألزم القاضي بتسبيب حكمه، وقد جاءت الدراسة لتبين مفهوم التسبيب ومدى أهميته وإلزاميته كإجراء لا بد للقاضي أن يقوم به حتى يأتي حكمه سليما، وحددت الدراسة الشروط الواجب توفرها في أسباب الحكم حتى تكون الأسباب سائغة ومقبولة والأثر المترتب على تخلف أي منها، وتوصلت الدراسة إلى نتائج من أهمها أن المشرع الأردني لم يضع جزاء البطلان على عدم التسبيب، إضافة إلى الخلط القائم لدى محكمة التمييز الأردنية الموقرة بين مفهوم انعدام التسبيب والقصور في التسبيب، ومرد ذلك عدم اعتماد المفهوم الصحيح والدقيق للتسبيب، وقدّم الباحث عددا من التوصيات من أهمها وجوب تعديل النص الذي يلزم بالتسبيب ليتضمن جزاء البطلان في حال مخالفة هذا الالتزام، إضافة إلى التمني على محكمة التمييز الأردنية بضرورة التفريق بين مفهومي انعدام الأسباب ومفهوم القصور في الأسباب، والالتفات إلى المفهوم الدقيق للفساد في الاستدلال الذي لا يعني باي حال من الأحوال انعدام الأسباب أو القصور فيها وإنما هو تسبيب غير سليم للحكم.

Authors: Taaibah Ngaunillah Rohmatun  , Mad Yahya  , Siti Muliana
Published: January 2024

Zihar was considered divorced in the Jahiliyya era. When Islam came precisely at the time of the Khaulah Binti Tsalabah event which was zihar, and she did not want to be separated from her husband, she complained to the Prophet Muhammad until Surah Al-Mujadillah verses 1-4 came down which states that if someone wants to be free from zihar then he must pay expiation. In this contemporary era, the implementation of zihar is not only for men to women but also women to men. This is because the interaction between husband and wife is very important in a relationship. Hence, the formulation of the problem in this study is how is the relationship between partners in building interaction between the two because both have an important role in the household. This research is qualitative and uses Abdul Mustaqim's maqasid interpretation analysis knife to find the maqasid of Al-Mujadillah verses 1-4. The maqasid of this verse are hifz nafs and hifz nasl by freeing slaves, hifz nafs by rushing successively, hifd nafs, hifz mal and hifd din by feeding 60 poor people. Besides that, there is a maqasid from the gender aspect of this verse, namely the importance of hearing women's voices and having to provide justice for women. In addition, there is the main maqasid related to the relationship between husband and wife in this verse, namely maintaining the relationship between husband and wife when there is a problem, it is the responsibility of both, not just one party.
Penistaan Agama dalam Bingkai Kebhinekaan dan Persatuan Bangsa Perspektif al-Qur’an

لقد كان الاستهزاء بالدين ولمزه منذ بدء بعث الرسل و نزول الوحي. ومع ذلك عندما تتكرر حوادث الاستهزاء بالدين في المستقبل وان كان في شكل واحد فبدت المواجهة بين الطرفين اعني بين أولئك الذين يلمزون والذين يدافعون ضرورة لا مفر منها كما قد اعتبر كلام باسوكي تجهاجا بورناما الملقب بأهوك أنه قد استهزأ الاية 51 من سورة المائدة وأهانها. وبناءً على ذلك تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى وصف موقف القران في مواجهة المستهزئين بالدين التي حدثت خلال فترة الوحي في إطار الفروق في المدينة المنورة مع ضمان وحدة المجتمع. وقد تم إجراء هذا البحث باستخدام منهج دراسة المخطوطات ودراسة التفسير الموضوعي. وانتهت هذه الدراسة الى ان القران له ثلاثة مواقف في مواجهة المستهزئين بالدين. فالاول تهديدهم بالعقاب الشديد في الاخرة. والثاني تحريم جعل المستهزئين بالدين أولياء ومساعدين وأصدقاء يتولون امور المسلمين حتى لا يكون لديهم القوة السياسية للاستهزاء بالدين. والثالث منع المسلمين عن الجلوس معهم وأمرهم بالاعراض عنهم. فالموقف الاخر له ثلاث مقاصد (ا) منع المسلمين من إرضاء السوء والفحشاء (ب) منع حدوث العداوة بين المجتمع في المدينة المنورة (ج) تقوية تضامن الامة الاسلامية.
