Architecture

The Architecture category encompasses a comprehensive range of research and scholarly activities focused on the design, planning, and construction of buildings and other physical structures. This category aims to explore innovative architectural design principles, methodologies, and practices that address contemporary challenges such as sustainability, resilience, smart design, and the integration of advanced technologies. It also includes aspects of building science, structural engineering, tectonics, and civil engineering to provide a holistic view of the built environment.

Contributions in this category may include, but are not limited to, studies on the following topics:

Architectural Design Principles: Exploration of fundamental and emerging design concepts, theories, and methodologies.

Sustainable Architecture: Strategies for creating environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings and communities.

Resilient Design: Approaches to designing structures that can withstand and adapt to natural and human-made hazards.

Smart and Adaptive Design: Innovations in intelligent building systems, responsive environments, and adaptive architecture.

Historical and Cultural Studies: Research on the historical, cultural, and social contexts of architectural practices and heritage conservation.

Urban Design and Planning: Examination of the design and organization of urban spaces, including considerations for livability, accessibility, and community engagement.

Materials and Construction Technologies: Advancements in building materials, construction methods, and fabrication techniques.

Digital and Computational Design: The application of digital tools, computational methods, and generative design processes in architecture.

This category seeks to advance the knowledge and practice of architecture by providing a platform for the dissemination of high-quality research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and inspiring innovative solutions to contemporary architectural challenges.
