Call for Papers: A2TE-26



 



All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:



1. Core Architecture Topics 



These topics focus primarily on the design, theory, and structural integrity of buildings.





  • Architectural Theory & History: Evolution of styles, movements (Modernism, Post-Modernism), and philosophy of space.




  • Building Science & Technology: HVAC systems, acoustics, lighting design, and building envelopes.




  • Landscape Architecture: Design of outdoor public areas, parks, and gardens.




  • Interior Architecture: Spatial programming, ergonomics, and material finishes within a structure.




  • Heritage Conservation: Restoration and adaptive reuse of historical buildings.





2. Core Transportation Engineering Topics 



These topics focus on the mathematical and physical systems required to move vehicles and pedestrians.





  • Traffic Engineering: Flow theory, signal timing, capacity analysis, and level of service (LOS).




  • Pavement Engineering: Material science of asphalt and concrete, structural design of roadbeds.




  • Geometric Design: Vertical and horizontal alignment of highways and rail tracks.




  • Logistics & Supply Chain: Optimization of freight movement and distribution networks.




  • Safety Engineering: Crash data analysis, roadside safety hardware, and human factors.





3. Interrelated Topics 



This is where the two disciplines merge to create functional urban environments.



Urban Design & Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)





  • Station Area Planning: Designing the interface between high-density housing and transit hubs.




  • Mixed-Use Integration: How residential and commercial architecture interacts with street-level transit.




  • Walkability & Micro-mobility: Designing "Last Mile" solutions like bike lanes and pedestrian plazas.





Infrastructure Architecture





  • Transit Hub Design: The architecture of airports, train stations, and bus terminals (Intermodal facilities).




  • Bridges & Tunnels: Where structural engineering and aesthetic design overlap (Signature bridges).




  • Parking Structures: Designing garages that integrate into the urban fabric rather than disrupting it.





Sustainability & Resilience





  • Smart Cities: Using IoT sensors in buildings and roads to manage energy and traffic.




  • Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Measuring how new buildings and highways affect local ecosystems.




  • Renewable Energy Integration: Charging infrastructure for EVs within building basements and solar roadways.





Master Planning & Land Use





  • Zoning & Policy: How building codes dictate the need for transport infrastructure.




  • Accessibility (ADA Compliance): Ensuring that both the building and the path to it are navigable for everyone.




  • Urban Sprawl vs. Density: The architectural push for "Up" versus the engineering need for "Out."
