**Preface to "Architecture and Engineering: The Challenges—Trends—Achievements"**

There is always something interesting going on at the border of disciplines. This is also the case here, i.e., at the border of architecture and engineering. Design and research are areas connecting their activities. In this book, the reader is offered a collection of articles confirming that the border between architecture and civil engineering is multidimensional. A dynamically changing reality is the reason, supported by new design paradigms and new research techniques. The new design and research tools are an inspiration and a keystone bonding architects and engineers. We encourage the reader to learn about their achievements.
