Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on research related to the built environment, encompassing building design, materials, energy performance, structural analysis, and urban planning. It covers topics such as advanced modeling techniques for building energy consumption, human-AI trust in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, material science for construction components, and the structural behavior of building elements. The journal also addresses sustainable construction practices, including the use of recycled materials and the reduction of carbon emissions, as well as the impact of climate change on building energy demands and urban heat islands. Furthermore, it explores aspects of building maintenance, seismic resilience, and the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage.
