The 2015 Architectural Science Association conference, Living and Learning: Research for a Better Built Environment invites full papers from multidisciplinary realms which promote the advancement of architectural research and focus on the positive outcomes of the collaboration between academia, practice and industry. Living and Learning: Research for a Better Built Environment connects the internal condition of the built environment to the natural and artificial external processes with the intention of providing holistic technical and design research for a better built environment. CONFERENCE VENUE The conference will be held in the new 6 Star Green Star rated Melbourne School of Design Building, University of Melbourne. REFEREEING PROCESS All abstracts will be blind reviewed and accepted abstracts will be invited to be developed into full papers. Each submitted full paper will be double-blind peer reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. Accepted papers by registered authors will be published in the conference proceedings and selected papers will be published in a special issue of Architectural Science Review (ASR), published by Taylor & Francis, UK.
