This conference unveils the latest trends of architectural technologies and computational thinking as a way of improving the performance of computational design software in architectural and engineering discourses. In a fast-paced world and in light of recent technological advancements due to industrialization and globalization, the way we see the universe has changed. That being said, the conference will shed a light on the ways in which parallelism can be integrated into different architectural and computing dialogues through stimulating a discussion on topics of Complex Digital Fabrication, Augmented Reality, Intelligent Environments, Advanced Fabrication Technologies, Big Data and more.

Urban regeneration has only proven to be successful when sustained which is why urban regeneration and the concept of sustainability go perfectly hand in hand. The populations within the earth inhabit more and more areas every day which is why urbanization still grows to be a challenge. The problems that are most commonly associated with urbanization are often high-density population, pollution, crime, poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and several others. Having a high population density is the cornerstone of the entire existence of this argument, some might say, which is partly true, as populations increase more than ever and with more inhabitants, who mostly migrate from rural areas.

Following the success of the 1st Edition and 2nd Edition international conference on “Urban Regeneration and Sustainability”, this year’s 3rd edition will address all the aspects of the urban environment. Urban regeneration is discussed thoroughly in this conference, by rendering it as a process and a strategy that aims to transform and renovate areas in hopes of upgrading public housing, public buildings, private buildings, infrastructure, and services. It could also be considered as a highly effective way to improve urban performance by targeting countless areas and taking their economic levels and developments into consideration which could affect society either negatively or positively.

The level of difficulty to manage such problems with established solutions in several cities that differ from one city to another, depending mainly on the city’s size, morphology, regulations, and several other factors. The bigger the city the more complex it becomes to manage it, requiring more solutions that will help in the regeneration of urban areas and to limit the negative impacts from and on anyone associated with the city.

Ptarmigan Ridge. Snowfields give way to rocky scree, which in turn give way to Mt. Baker’s cone, only a valley away. Meanwhile, Mt. Shuksan rears up across another several valleys, making this a hike a front-row view to all the Mt. Baker Highway has to offer. Some snowfields cover the trail permanently, but often it is hikable by the middle of August.

Your host will be Grace. A moderate beginner hike, 9 miles, 1800 elevation gains jaunt for selfies.

Day hike to get stunningly close to the west side of Mount Baker. The way is rocky from start to finish, lined with lupine and sedges, and patches of blueberries. There is very little shade. Total elevation gain is moderate. To the southwest are the Twin Sisters, and the Nooksack River valley heads west to the horizon. And if the fates favor you with a sunny day, bask in the views of the sheer white glaciers of Koma Kulshan.

High above on the edge of Washington, Ridge offers unparalleled views of a truly unique landscape. The warm quartzite bluff stands out against soft hills of green and mauve, an occasional barn dotting the landscape. Colors seem to shift and change in the light.

Had amazing views and a slight breeze that made for one of my favorite day hikes of the year.

We will need drivers $30 gas cost will be given before the trip, Please pay the driver before the trip.

Some of the most gorgeous and memorable scenery is located just 2 hours from the city.
