Dear Colleagues,

The first International Online Conference of Buildings with a focus on, “Advances in building structures, materials, repair/renovation, energy, environment, systems, architecture, urban planning, and construction management”, will be held from 24–26 October 2023. The main purpose of the conference is to promote the use of the recent advances in all building-related issues, address challenging problems, share the latest scientific innovations, and shape the future of building-related technologies and processes.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for building researchers and scientists to interact with each other, communicate with colleagues, learn from each other, share ideas and experiences, jointly solve problems, and suggest alternative solutions for a better future in the building industry. A distinct advantage of this virtual international conference is that the participants are not required to travel and can simply attend the conference regardless of their location. Participants do not need to seek financial support for travel, nor do they need to leave the comfort of their home, office, and/or family to book a trip and, consequently, adjust to the corresponding time zone.

In the virtual conference setting, while the presenters can deliver live and pre-recorded presentations simultaneously, the participants can contribute to the discussion and provide feedback orally and/or using the “Chat” and “Reaction” functions.

The main topics of this conference cover:
1. Building structures;

2. Building materials;
3. Building repair and renovation;

4. Energy consumption in building construction and operation;

5. The environmental impacts of buildings;

6. Buildings’ physics and building systems;

7. Architecture and building design;

8. Tall and super tall buildings;

9. Urban planning;

10. Building construction management;

11. Computer applications and digitization in building processes.

All accepted abstracts will be published on the conference’s website. Participants are expected to submit an abstract of 200 to 300 words and should refer to the abstract preparation guidelines at "Instructions for Authors".

After the conference, the participants may submit a full paper to MDPI’s Buildings journal. After the review process, the authors of the accepted papers will receive a 20% discount on the APC before the paper is published in Buildings.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I welcome your attendance to the first International Online Conference of Buildings on, “Advances in building structures, materials, repair/renovation, energy, environment, systems, architecture, urban planning, and construction management”.

Prof. Dr. David Arditi
