Special Issue on Research on Buildings

Building, a usually roofed and walled structure built for permanent use. Rudimentary buildings were initially constructed out of the purely functional need for a controlled environment to moderate the effects of climate. These first buildings were simple dwellings. Later, buildings were constructed for other functions, such as food storage and to serve as sites of ceremony. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Research on Buildings.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Research on Buildings. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Building structures
