Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Buildings, entitled “Tradition and Innovation in Civil Engineering—C70 International Conference”.
Civil engineering is an essential discipline at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, where historical practices and contemporary advancements converge to shape our infrastructure and environment.
Traditionally, civil engineering has drawn upon well-established methodologies, time-tested construction materials, and engineering practices honed through centuries. These traditional approaches have afforded reliability, safety, and a connection to cultural heritage.
In contrast, innovation in civil engineering manifests through the infusion of cutting-edge technologies, advanced materials, and novel methodologies. Computer-aided design, sustainable building materials, and intelligent construction technologies have transformed the landscape of civil engineering, promising enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in infrastructure development.
The intersection of tradition and innovation generates nuanced debates within civil engineering and its subfields, including architecture, structural engineering, transportation, and geotechnics. It necessitates a critical examination of each approach's relative merits and drawbacks, considering factors such as cost, environmental impact, cultural preservation, and safety. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of a balanced approach that leverages the strengths of both traditions and innovations to meet the evolving demands of the modern world.
We welcome researchers to present their studies and make valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
