We are very pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022-2023 Best Paper Award from Architectural Intelligence. We sincerely appreciate the outstanding contributions of all award-winning authors and their efforts in advancing the field of architectural intelligence.
With the development of new quantitative research methodologies, scholars have begun to explore the association between the utilization of interior building space/urban micro-urban space and the health of elderly people. This special issue is purposed to find out how the innovative utilization and activation of spaces can link the health of the elderly with digital technologies and new quantitative research methodologies.

Despite the significant achievements made in this field, the gap between concepts, ideas and technical implementation has widened. To bridge this gap, many professionals and researchers have undertaken the mission to exchange research and applications related to advanced design and manufacturing. We welcome papers with topics including advanced design methods, cutting-edge fabrication techniques, and smart materials, with a focus on striking a balance between creative ideas and technical proficiency.

Solar decathlon houses represent the state of the art of construction technology in different regions and countries. Smartness, prefabrication, carbon neutrality, and human well-being are the critical characteristics of solar decathlon houses and can be reflected in many technological areas. This thematic series of Architectural Intelligence will focus on the design, construction, and optimization of solar houses in the following four key themes, Smartness, Prefabrication, Decarbonization, and Wellness.

This special issue aims to publish the most recent advances in building decarbonization research and applications. It is concerned with the methodology developments, especially when advanced digital technologies are involved, for reducing both embodied carbon emissions and operational carbon emissions in the built environment. Preference is given to quantitative assessments of the challenges and benefits of adopting building decarbonization measures under different regions, policies, and/or carbon emission trading schemes. At last, it aims to provide opportunities to demonstrate the real-world evidence of realizing building decarbonization via case studies.

In this thematic series, we wish to examine a possible future in which AI is not only a design assistant, but also a design master, becoming more involved in the design process as a whole. As a result, researchers and designers must consider new positions, discover new values, identify breakthrough points, and defend themselves against the incoming impact.

This special issue aims to provide new insights on how digital technologies transform our urban spaces and how they can be harnessed to design better cities for the future. Aiming to demonstrate a range of theoretical, methodological and empirical studies from this field, the proposed special issue is expected to deliver up-to-date knowledge to readers on how the combination of urban big data, VR, AR, wearable biosensors, and AI can help us not only explore, analyze and evaluate cities but also generate multiple design solutions for the urban environment.
