The Architectural Aesthetic Order of Fire Protection

Abstract

Nowadays, the damaging effects on humanity, such as extreme weather caused by climate change, the pandemic-induced isolation, or the drastic increase in the cost of energy carriers, etc., have led to the need to change the design of our buildings. The need to design buildings for safety, prevention and sustainability requires a change in our design thinking.

The damaging effects of these extremes all have an impact on the fire safety situation of a building. The conclusions of fire investigation procedures suggest that a disorderly state of the built environment typically develops prior to fire starts.

As stated above, the researchers are investigating the degree of orderliness in the research, for which they are using network science methods. Based on the hypothesis, tidiness is also an aesthetic value, whose high level of appearance determines the appropriate fire safety situation.

The high aesthetic value of architectural fire protection correlates with the degree of orderliness, i.e. it is a significant determinant of the long-term sustainable stable fire safety situation of a building.
