                                     Guest Editors: Vesna Stojaković and Bojan Tepavčević  
                                        Geometry of complex  shapes  has  always 
                                        played an important role in architecture and 
                                        the process of building construction. From 
                                        the first vaults over the stereotomic shells to 
                                        the        digitally            fabricated              architecture 
                                        understanding  logic  of  geometry  in  the 
                                        process of construction and fabrication was 
                                        crucial.             Recent               development                    of 
                                        computational  design  tools  enable  easier 
                                        creation of complex shapes which might be 
                                        challenging  for  the  manufacturing  and 
                                        hence additionally increases the importance 
                                        of  relationship  between  geometry  and 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                        fabrication in the design process. 
                                                                                                                                                                               
                                      Novel design methods such as fabrication-aware design, structurally informed design, material based design 
                                      reflect increased interest towards creating new relations between geometry and fabrication in architecture.  
                                      The objective of this special edition is to examine different relationships between geometry, architecture and 
                                      fabrication.  How  can  we  efficiently  fabricate  complex  geometric  shapes  in  architecture?  How  can 
                                      architectural design be enhanced through the connection of geometry and material constraints? Can we use 
                                      fabrication tools to develop new language of geometric forms? Researchers, designers and builders are 
                                      invited to submit articles on the relationship between geometry and fabrication process in architecture 
                                      addressing these and similar questions and objectives. 
                                      Topics: geometry in architectural practice; fabrication of complex shapes in architecture; digital models and 
                                      methods for architectural fabrication; computational design for architectural fabrication; shape optimization 
                                      problems; geometry in material based design.
