ABOUT THE JOURNAL

建筑学辑要 Compendium of Architecture (ISSN Print: 3079-5583, ISSN Online: 3079-5591) is an international, peer-reviewed Open Access (OA) journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research, innovative practice, and social responsibility in architecture. Encompassing architectural design, theory, urban planning, landscape architecture, building technology, cultural heritage conservation, and sustainable design, the journal serves as a global platform for scholars, architects, policymakers, and the public to address challenges in urbanization, climate crises, and cultural diversity. By integrating humanities, engineering, and environmental sciences, Compendium of Architecture explores innovative paradigms for spatial design and fosters inclusive, resilient, and ecologically intelligent built environments.

Scope and Topics
The journal welcomes submissions across ​all domains of architecture, emphasizing academic rigor, practical value, and societal impact. Key areas include but are not limited to:

  • ​Architectural Design & Theory:
    • Innovative design methodologies, parametric design, and digital generative technologies (BIM, AI-aided design)
    • Regional architecture, vernacular design, and cultural expression in a globalized context
    • Public space design, community participatory planning, and social equity studies
  • ​Architectural History & Heritage Conservation:
    • Architectural historiography, stylistic evolution, and cross-cultural comparisons
    • Heritage conservation techniques, restoration materials science, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings
    • Intangible cultural heritage and the transmission of cultural memory in built environments
  • ​Urban Planning & Landscape Architecture:
    • Smart cities, resilient urban planning, and climate-adaptive design
    • Ecological landscape planning, blue-green infrastructure, and biodiversity restoration
    • Urban renewal, industrial heritage transformation, and post-industrial landscape revitalization
  • ​Building Technology & Sustainability:
    • Green building technologies, net-zero architecture, and circular economy materials
    • Building performance simulation (lighting, energy, acoustics), smart building systems, and IoT integration
    • 3D-printed architecture, modular construction, and low-carbon construction techniques
  • ​Architectural Humanities & Interdisciplinary Studies:
    • Phenomenology of space, spatial politics, and critical architectural theory
    • Cross-disciplinary research bridging anthropology, sociology, and art
    • Emergency architecture and temporary shelter design in contexts of conflict and disaster
  • ​Emerging Fields & Digital Innovation:
    • Metaverse architecture, virtual space design, and digital twin technologies
    • Generative design algorithms, machine learning-driven form optimization
    • Architectural robotics, drone surveying, and AR/VR applications in architectural education
