This open access book will be a compilation of selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Architecture Across Boundaries (AAB2024). The work focuses on novel integration of technology into the built environment in the areas of space syntax, digital fabrication, computational design, professional models, eco-system and urban morphology domains. The content makes valuable contributions to academic researchers and educators in the university and practitioners in the industry, who have been working in or with a particular awareness of the different types of boundaries, including technological, cultural and physical boundaries in the research on built environments. This book will work as a good reference for academics and professionals conducting interdisciplinary research in an effort to understand and achieve a better hybrid environment.
