Proceedings of the Conference Series on Sustainable Architecture Circular Economy (SACE 2025)
Conference: Proceedings of the Conference Series on Sustainable Architecture Circular Economy (SACE 2025)
Date: 4-5 March 2025
Location: New Delhi, India (Hybrid)
Website: https://www.sa-ce.in/organizers The growing demand for sustainable practices in architecture and construction has directed global attention toward innovative materials that ensure durability, resilience, and environmental responsibility. Among these, Stainless steel has emerged as a material of choice for sustainable construction owing to its exceptional corrosion resistance, recyclability, low maintenance requirements, and long service life. Its role in promoting energy efficiency, reducing lifecycle costs, and enhancing resilience against fire and seismic risks makes it highly relevant to the future of sustainable infrastructure. This volume of the Atlantis Press Journal on Sustainable Architecture and Circular Economy, SACE 2025 presents selected double blind peer-reviewed papers from the Sustainable Architecture and Construction for the Environment, organized by University School of Architecture, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), New Delhi, under the leadership of Dean. Prof.(Dr.) Neeraja Lugani Sethi. The conference theme, “Stainless Steel: A Sustainable Material for the Built Environment and Circular Economy”, provided a platform for academicians, researchers, industry experts, and professionals to deliberate on the applications, performance, and advantages of stainless steel in sustainable architectural and construction practices. The contributions in this volume cover a diverse range of topics, including the lifecycle cost benefits of stainless steel, its corrosion resistance in diverse climatic conditions, its role in reducing maintenance requirements, Circularity, material and design, Usage and its proven resilience in fire and seismic scenarios. Collectively, these works emphasize how stainless steel can significantly advance the global agenda of sustainable development in the built environment. We express our deep gratitude to Prof.(Dr.) Neeraja Lugani Sethi, (Dean, USAP) Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) for her leadership and Conference Convenor, Dr. Shweta Manchanda (Professor, USAP) for organizing this important conference. We sincerely thank the organizing committee, reviewers, and session chairs for their tireless efforts in ensuring the success of the event and the quality of the papers included in this publication. Our special thanks also go to all contributing authors, whose research and insights form the foundation of this volume. It is our hope that this collection of works will serve as a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students, and that it will inspire further exploration into the role of stainless steel and other innovative materials in achieving sustainable architecture and construction for the environment.
