Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The built environment is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technological innovation, sustainability imperatives and evolving societal needs. This Special Issue, "Advances in Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management," aims to showcase cutting-edge research and practical developments at the intersection of these disciplines. It welcomes contributions that explore innovative approaches to improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability in building and civil engineering projects.
Key topics include, but are not limited to, digital technologies in construction and architectural design; sustainable project management and green building practices; risk assessment and resilience in engineering projects; advanced construction techniques and materials; integrated architectural and engineering management strategies; lifecycle assessment and facility management and case studies on smart buildings and urban development.
We invite original research articles, reviews and case studies that advance theoretical understanding or demonstrate real-world applications. Submissions should highlight novel methodologies, empirical findings or interdisciplinary insights contributing to more effective management of engineering, construction and architectural processes.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Dr. Xianbo Zhao
