5th Annual GSTF International Conference on Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) 2017 Singapore

Advances in Archi­tec­ture and Civil Engi­neer­ing are the order of the day with the rapid indus­tri­al­iza­tion and urban­iza­tion seen in devel­oped and devel­op­ing nations. Inno­v­a­tive design and con­struc­tion prac­tices are chal­leng­ing tasks to the archi­tects and engi­neers to meet the ever grow­ing demands of soci­ety. The con­fer­ence is the pre­mière forum for the pre­sen­ta­tion of new advances and research results in the fields of Archi­tec­ture and Civil Engi­neer­ing. The con­fer­ence will bring together lead­ing researchers, archi­tects, engi­neers and sci­en­tists in this domain of inter­est from around the world.

The themes of the con­fer­ence are:

• Infra­struc­ture Design for Regions in Rapid Development
• Infra­struc­ture Design for New Ver­ti­cal Cities
• Infra­struc­ture for new Cities and Landscapes
• Design for Urban Infra­struc­ture: Parks, Build­ings, Streets and Systems
