Conference Description:

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."
