Journal of Asian Architecture and Building
Engineering is a refereed international open access online journal, serving researchers in
academic and research organizations and all practitioners in the building
sector. The journal is jointly-edited by the Architectural Institute of Japan
( AIJ ), the
Architectural Institute of Korea ( AIK ),
and the Architectural Society of China ( ASC ) and published
biannually in May and November.
Asian academics and professions have made efforts to find solutions to the
themes derived from natural, geographical, socio-economical and cultural
conditions in Asia. Their achievements have contributed to the evolution of
research in the field of architecture and building engineering.
For instance, achievements in structural engineering have contributed to the
world by developing technology to assure safety of buildings in
earthquake-prone areas. Asia has the largest share of the world's population
with high densities in urban areas. It is a growing and the most energetic
region in terms of building activities, which produces valuable empirical
knowledge and lessons to architects and building engineers in Asia.
It is quite significant to contribute to global architecture and building
engineering by presenting the knowledge and lessons beyond linguistic
barriers. The three architectural institutions have decided to publish our
achievements in English because we recognize a large number of potential
achievements could contribute to the world. By publishing the journal in
English, it is expected that Asian wisdom and experience will be disseminated
to the world.
In the countries where these institutions are based, building professions can
enjoy the collaborative and holistic approach because the three institutions
distinctively possess the whole range of expertise relating to architecture
and building engineering.
In virtue of these, the scope of the journal involves the aspects of science,
technology and art. Namely, the global environment, architectural planning
and design, project management, structural engineering, structural mechanics,
building materials, environmental engineering, information technology, and
other fields related to built environment should be included in this journal.
Global and local problems relating to built environment require holistic
approach.
The journal aims to contribute to resolve or mitigate these global and local
problems by bringing together new ideas and developments from Asian countries
as well as European, American and African countries. The editors welcome good
quality contributions from all over the world.
