Introduction

Architecture, Structures and Construction is an international, peer-reviewed journal that fosters collaboration between architecture, building, and structural engineering disciplines. It addresses a wide range of topics, including acoustics, additive manufacturing, architectural design, bridge design, building control systems, building information modeling (BIM), building materials, building physics, construction automation and robotics, construction management, digital fabrication, energy efficiency, fire safety, form finding, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, innovative architectural and structural design, life cycle assessment, new materials, rehabilitation and strengthening of structures, resilient buildings, structural analysis and design, structural systems, sustainable buildings, and testing and certification of building products. The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, opinion papers, technical notes, discussions, case studies, and book reviews that contribute significantly to the theory or practice of architecture, building, and structural engineering.
