About the Journal

Advances in Civil Engineering and Sustainable Architecture (ACESA) (ISSN: 2716-0890) is an open access international journal dedicated to present the discourses on the built environment from multiple perspectives in various design-related disciplines: civil engineering, architecture, spatial design, and other relevant fields. The idea of ACESA emphasises the sustainability aspects that push the sensitivity of civil engineers and architects, which might be manifested through the users’ inhabitation, through the materiality of objects and built environment.  

The journal is committed to exploring the concept of building design, structure, and construction research as either primary or secondary subjects. This can be dissected through theoretical discussions or empirical studies, addressing both the tangible and intangible elements of the built environment.

The journal is published biannually, in March and September, by Petra Christian University in Surabaya, INDONESIA. ACESA welcomes a broad spectrum of contributions, include original research articles, case and technical reports, and review articles, all contributing to the global dialogue on sustainable practices within Civil Engineering and Architecture.

Authors are invited to submit articles that address the questions of built environment in a wide range of sustainability context, which may include but not limited to:
