Abstract

We are pleased to present a special issue of Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science (CAMES), covering papers focusing on selected aspects of computer-aided design methods in architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture. The presented content is interdisciplinary in nature, merging many fields and research areas because of the usage of digital tools.

The editors of this issue intended to highlight the beneficial role of computing methods in data acquisition and spatial analysis, while simultaneously considering the saturation of this space with cultural values. The papers included demonstrate the usefulness of these tools from both engineering and humanistic perspectives. We hope that addressing these matters in the CAMES journal will bridge the technological community with the historical and social aspects of space, thereby justifying the necessity for the development of digital tools to support the preservation of this context.
