Formal Methods in Architecture

This book comprises the select proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Formal Methods in Architecture (7FMA), held in Porto, Portugal, in December 2024. The contents focus on the use of methodologies, especially those that have witnessed recent developments stemming from mathematical and computer sciences and are developed in a collaborative way with architecture and related fields. This book constitutes a contribution to the debate and to the introduction of new methodologies and tools in the mentioned fields that derive from the application of formal methods in the creation of new explicit languages for problem-solving in architecture and urbanism. Some of the themes are CAD and BIM, mixed realities, photogrammetry and 3D scan, architectural design automation, urban and building performance analysis, SCAVA-space configuration, accessibility, and visibility analysis. The book serves as a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.
