Technology | Architecture + Design (TAD) is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the advancement of scholarship in the field of building technology, with a focus on the impact, translation and integration of technology in architecture and design. TAD solicits, captures, and shares new knowledge in how we think, make and use technology within the building arts. Published articles feature primary research in emerging materials, constructions techniques, design integration, structures, building systems, energy, environmental design, information technology, digital fabrication, sustainability and resiliency, project delivery, the history and theory of technology, and building technology education. Aimed at researchers, educators, and practitioners, the journal advances and transforms the current discourse on building based technologies with the goal of expanding, reimagining and challenging its role for architecture and design. TAD is published by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). Faculty members at ACSA full-member programs, affiliate members, and supporting members, receive print copies of the journal as part of their membership. The journal is supported by an international advisory board of leading academics and practitioners. TAD publishes two issues per year comprising peer reviewed and invited manuscripts in all areas of building, design, and technology including the following categories and related subfields: Material Constructions Structural Design Construction Technology Architectural Materials Building Envelopes Emerging and Nano Materials Environmental Design Sustainable Design Resiliency and Cities Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Performance Simulations Energy Studies Building Systems Design Acoustics Digital Design Data in Design Digital Fabrication Robotics Software Development Information Technologies Smart Buildings and Cities Methods (software and tools) Smart Environments Augmented and Virtual Reality Responsive environmnents Project Delivery BIM Lean Construction Integrated Design Emerging Project Delivery Methods Post Occupancy Evaluations Contracts History and Theory of Building Technology History and Theory of Building Technology Pedagogical Innovations and Research with demonstrable outcomes in any of the listed subject areas. Accepted submissions will be exceptional in the level of the innovation documented through testing rather than mere accounts of teaching based activities. Substantial curricular

Sources count differently and were observed at different times, so each source's own value is kept; "publisher" marks figures from the journal's website.

Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.

A hybrid journal charges the APC only when the author chooses open access; publishing under the subscription model is usually free.

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.

Excerpts are quoted from the journal's website; "model summary" lines are written by Workers AI and checked against the text. The journal's website is authoritative.
