Architecture and environment
Architecture and social research
Building and city information modelling
Buildings and energy
Built environment performance assessment
Construction, materials and technology
Design education and design research
Environmental and landscape architecture
Generative, parametric and evolutionary architecture
Interactive environments and collaboration
Interface between research and industry
Modes of production and mass customization
Theory, philosophy and methodology in architectural science
Thermal comfort, lighting and acoustics
The theoretical and practical knowledge base that underpins architecture is of
necessity cross-disciplinary; and for this reason submissions from multidisciplinary
realms and fields of knowledge are particularly encouraged.
The 2015 Architectural Science Association conference, Living and Learning:
Research for a Better Built Environment invites full papers from multidisciplinary realms
which promote the advancement of architectural research and focus on the positive
outcomes of the collaboration between academia, practice and industry. Living and
Learning: Research for a Better Built Environment connects the internal condition of
the built environment to the natural and artificial external processes with the intention
of providing holistic technical and design research for a better built environment.
CONFERENCE VENUE
The conference will be held in the new 6 Star Green Star rated Melbourne School of
Design Building, University of Melbourne.
REFEREEING PROCESS
All abstracts will be blind reviewed and accepted abstracts will be invited to be
developed into full papers. Each submitted full paper will be double-blind peer
reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. Accepted papers by registered
authors will be published in the conference proceedings and selected papers will be
published in a special issue of Architectural Science Review (ASR), published by Taylor
& Francis, UK.
