Journal of Architectural Sciences and Applications

The concept of architectural has evolved into a branch of science and art, which includes many versatile and diverse disciplines, rather than the scale of a single building (building).

The objectives stipulated in the JASA journal are; In the context of producing livable and healthy spaces, protecting natural and cultural values and sustainability, scientific information production, product and technology development, encouraging collaboration with related disciplines to provide multi-dimensional added value and sharing multi-directional information.

The JASA prioritizes scientific studies in the form of "original research articles" and "compilations" written on any subject related to theoretical and practical issues that may be related to spatial planning and design, protection, repair, management, and economics, etc. dimensions.
