Dear readers of Frontiers in Built Environment, As the Field Chief Editor for Frontiers in Built Environment, I am happy to present this curated selection of papers that have made a significant impact within our community. Among the large number of submissions that we received, these 14 papers represent some of the best published in 2023, the year when the journal attained its first impact factor. With many high-quality papers to consider, in selecting these 14 articles we faced the challenging task of how to include papers from across the 15 distinct sections of the journal whilst at the same time achieving a sense of cohesion to the ebook overall. However, amidst this diversity, we noticed...

"This book provides much needed insights into the scale and nature of the challenges we all face in reducing the impact of built environments on our shared climate. It plots safer pathways forward for reducing operational and embodied energy in construction and refurbishment. It should be mandatory reading for all designers, planners and developers in Australia." -Sue Roaf, Emeritus Professor, Heriot Watt University, UK "This book shows how, using science-based approaches, we can deliver on net zero carbon new buildings by 2030 and for existing ones we can do this by 2040. We need a whole of life and whole building approach. This book can be used in many countries and even localised with loc...
Yaşam, hep çok bilinmeyenli bir olgu mudur? Karşılığını bulduğunuz değerler gün gelir değişir mi? Bir araba kazası sonucu ne kadar insanın hayatı etkilenebilir?

A collection of documents written in Ancient Khotan, but in a dialect of the Śakas, or Indo-Scythians from the first century BC onwards.
This book explores the relationship between architecture and philosophy through a discussion on threshold spaces linking public space with publicly accessible buildings. It explores the connection between exterior and interior and how this creates and affects interactions between people and the social dynamics of the city. Building on an existing body of literature, the book engages with critical philosophy and discusses how it can be applied to architecture. In a similar vein to Walter Benjamin’s descriptions of the Parisian Arcades in the nineteenth century, the book identifies the conditions under which thresholds reveal and impact social life. It utilises a wide range of illustrated international case studies from architects in Japan, Norway, Finland, France, Portugal, Italy, the USA, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil. Within the examples, thresholds become enhancers of social interactions and highlight broader socio-political contexts in public and private space. Architecture of Threshold Spaces is an enlightening contribution to knowledge on contemporary architecture, politics and philosophy for students, academics, and architects.
