The Third International Conference on Art & Architecture, Advanced Technologies, and Construction Management (IAAC)

Khatam University is proud to host the first international conference on art and architecture, modern technologies and construction management on Wednesday and Thursday, November 15 and 16, 2023, with the focus on "Investigating the role of modern technologies in Architecture and Construction management in today's world" and the second round of The conference was successfully held on Wednesday and Thursday, May 14 and 15, 2024 and now, in line with the continuation of this valuable movement, with the aim of solidarity and exchange of information between The members of the big family of Art, Architecture and Construction Management, creating esprit among students and strengthening the Scientific Atmosphere of the country and the growth and prosperity of researches in the mentioned fields, and relying on the knowledge and ability of the academic staff members and studious students, to hold the third International Conference focusing on the following axes.

According to report of the public relations and the website of Khatam University, undoubtedly, nowadays, the use of new technologies and paying attention to the principles of sustainability in art, architecture, and construction are among the most important principles affecting the sustainable development of the country. Experts should provide strategies that, in addition to improving the quality of life in various material and spiritual dimensions, also have a look at the future of the world. The world is constantly progressing and everything that emerges as technology seeks to answer the material and spiritual needs of the growing world population. One of the most important goals in all material and spiritual matters is to be able to have the highest efficiency in the shortest time and to consider quality, strength, beauty, and creativity in addition to high speed. For example, in the construction industry, many technologies have been invented to achieve this goal (in different phases of the life cycle of the construction project), which has led to the improvement and progress of this industry. By using these technologies, it is possible to build more beautiful, high-quality, diverse, and faster buildings. Studies have shown that three-quarters of the world's energy is consumed in cities, and accordingly, cities and their residents are responsible for creating the largest amount of pollution in the industrialized world. In the industrialized world, humans use all the available technologies for cooling, heating, and providing their livelihood, and among them, fossil fuels and non-renewable energies, which cause irreparable damage to future generations, are the most consumed by humans. In art, the existence of technology, from the formation of ideas to the execution and presentation of works of art, has played a significant role in improving the quality increasing the speed of work, and saving time and money.

According to this short introduction, Khatam University intends to hold the third international conference of the Department of Art and Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture with the title "Art and Architecture, New Technologies and Construction Management" with the main focus of "Familiarization with new technologies in art, architecture and construction management" "And with the vision of "Construction of cost-effective sustainable buildings in various material and spiritual dimensions" in November 1403 and in line with improving quality and solving problems in related fields. This conference aims to bring together experts, thinkers, academics, managers, related and interested organizations, consulting engineers and specialists, and those interested in this field, to explain the concepts and goals related to the conference's themes and to provide a suitable opportunity to exchange information and Providing new research findings in the mentioned fields.

In this course, in addition to creating an opportunity to receive scientific and research articles and presenting articles among the programs and panels of the conference, the best theses related to the themes of the conference will also be introduced. Also, by creating an exhibition next to the hall, a positive step has been taken to hold practical workshops for the participants and to create an opportunity to introduce applied technologies at the country level by various companies and organizations. Inviting publications and introducing books related to the themes of the conference is another program that was brought up in the proposal of this conference repeatedly in the meetings of the group council, and it is hoped that it will be realized during the holding days.

Accordingly, the Secretariat of the Third International Conference on Art and Architecture, New Technologies and Construction Management proudly invites all specialists, experts, students, researchers, and scientists of scientific, research, and industrial centers to participate in the various programs of this conference. And provide the basis for achieving the goals of this conference by presenting their latest scientific and practical achievements. It is hoped that this conference, as a scientific step, will be effective in realizing the following goals and will be the basis for improving the knowledge of the fields related to the defined axes, so that the scientific results obtained from it will be effective in advancing the scientific and cultural projects of the country.
