Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue entitled "Architecture and Landscape Architecture" in Buildings. The fields of architecture and landscape architecture are constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements, environmental concerns, and the pursuit of creating harmonious living spaces. In response to these dynamics, there is a pressing need to delve into cutting-edge research that offers innovative designs and sustainable solutions for the built environment.
This Special Issue aims to cover a broad spectrum of topics within architecture and landscape architecture, serving as a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange their knowledge and experiences. We welcome submissions that address, but are not restricted to, the following areas:
- Artificial intelligence in architecture and landscape architecture;
- Design methods and models for enhancing human settlements;
- Low-carbon design technologies and strategies;
- Regional expression of high-performance construction;
- Nature-based solutions (NbSs);
- The history of architectural technology;
- Ecological security assessment and planning;
- Urban acoustic environment prediction, optimization, and evaluation;
- Design and optimization of urban slow-mobility systems.
