JA is an open-access journal that makes research articles widely available on the Internet. This allows for easy access to valuable information, promotes knowledge sharing, and encourages academic collaboration on a global scale. The journal provides free access to all published content and allows users to read, download, distribute, and use the articles for various lawful purposes without needing prior permission.

AIM

JA aims to provide an international forum for exchanging academic views and research outcomes in the multidisciplinary field of architecture and built environment as research and review articles. It encourages discourse among scholars and professionals from the perspective of social, cultural, economic, political, and technological aspects of development, particularly in the built environment.

SCOPE

The Journal of Architecture (JA) at BUET publishes a wide range of papers covering various aspects of the built environment. These include in-depth explorations of building design, architectural history, theory, and critical analysis. Additionally, the journal delves into topics such as environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, urban design, and landscaping practices. Papers on housing and settlement patterns, construction techniques and technologies, resilience, and sustainable developments are also featured.

The contributions to JA are often multidisciplinary, incorporating insights from social science, environmental science, and behavioral science. This multidimensional approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of the complex interplay between architecture, society, and the natural environment.

While JA has traditionally focused on architecture and the built environment within a regional context, the journal actively encourages and welcomes research contributions from diverse geographical locations around the world. This global perspective enriches the journal's content and promotes a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of architecture and the built environment.
