Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Elon Musk famously said, “I don't waste time talking about lofty matters. I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.” Solving engineering problems buildings is a highly serious task. Modern environmental problems are caused by increased energy consumption and the urban heat island effect. New architectural designs in urban spaces could solve this problem in megacities. Green buildings and other energy-efficient objects in real estates are prioritized in urban city centers. This Special Issue will focus on new architectural designs and modern technologies in urban spaces and green buildings. Original research and reviews covering structural modeling, technology assessment, design methodology, material characterization for innovative use in architectural design, performance-based design, and real estate assessment are welcome. Experimental results from tests, modeling, and analysis, as well as the use of artificial intelligence in building technologies, are crucial.
