Special Issue Information
Dear colleague,
Symmetry is an important characteristic of many historical and modern buildings all over the world. For buildings, symmetry is mostly reflectional and rotational. With the recent development of building models constructed with different techniques such as laser scanning and digital photogrammetry in the form of geo-referencing, structure from motion, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), a building’s symmetry can be further recorded and investigated. The symmetry can be analyzed in terms of structural mechanics, geometry, cultural aspects, aesthetics and so on. This Special Issue aims for contributions that report recent advances in realizing, modeling, and analyzing a building’s symmetries, including multidisciplinary development related to the building information model (BIM).

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.
