Nabil Mohareb is currently an associate professor at the American University in Cairo (AUC), Department of Architecture, School of Sciences and Engineering (SSE). He was the former director of Faculty of Architecture—Design & Built Environment, Beirut Arab University, Tripoli Campus, Lebanon. He has worked for distinguished universities in Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. His research focuses on the relationship between architecture and urbanism; he is interested in social behavior activities, their mutual effect on both spatial and economic variables in urban spaces, and their interrelationship with architectural design. Mohareb uses theoretical and experimental methods in his research including but not limited to Space Syntax, GIS, and recently introducing drones and artificial intelligent (AI) in the field of object monitoring and detection of patterns of behavior at different scale levels (micro/macro scales). He has several published papers in refereedjournals and international refereed conferences. He has participated in number of international funding research related to understanding social behavior activities. He serves as an editorial board member of a number of renowned journals. Alessio Cardaci is a professor and a researcher of “Drawing and Architectural Survey” of the School of Engineering at the University of Bergamo, where he is also the head of the SABE Laboratory (Survey & Analysis of Buildings and Environment). His research interests are related to the themes of 3D survey for the conservation of cultural heritage, architectural and urban restoration, implementation and development of new technologies for the survey, documentation and conservation of architectural and monumental heritage (3D laser scanning, 3D image-based modeling, 3D data processing, reverse engineering), digital drawing, and representation of historical and contemporary buildings. Dr. Nicola Cavalagli currently holds an Assistant Professor position at the University of Perugia in Italy. He is Lecturer of the course of Mechanics of Historic Constructions and of the Laboratory of Architectural Restoration since 2015. His research interests are mainly focused on the analysis of historical constructions, with special attention to the homogenization techniques of masonry material and the analysis of masonry arches, vaults and domes, considering geometrical uncertainties effects. Recent studies have been devoted to the development of Structural Health Monitoring strategies applied to heritage constructions for their preventive conservation. His research interest includes also civil and architectural engineering in general, finite element modelling and computational mechanics. Sreetheran Maruthaveeran is currently a senior lecturer at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Design and Architecture, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).  His research interests focus on Landscape Studies such as Environmental Behaviour, Green Space Planning and Urban Forestry.   Sreetheran currently holds the position as the coordinator for the Urban Forestry Section (6.07.00) under the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), Austria. He is also a certified arborist under the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), USA, since 2007. Sreetheran also holds the position as the Editor-in-Chief of ALAM CIPTA International Journal of Sustainable Tropical Design Research and Practice and also as the Associate Editor of Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism.
