Welcome to the 61st edition of Architectural Science Review. The 60th volume of the Architectural Science Review marks an important milestone in its history and I am honoured to be Editor in Chief for this moment in its history. During its 60th year of production, we can reflect on how architectural science has changed and were it may progress in the future. To this end a virtual Edition is proposed which will mark the moment in a special way; this edition discusses the role of architectural science more specifically with regard to issues concerning peoples’ perceptions of architectural space and the environment that is created by the architecture. If we go back to the inception of Architectural Science Review one can see the original intent was to foster the application of science to architectureparticularly to theprocess bywhich architecture is created. Professor Henry Cowan in the first Edition of Architectural Science Review sets out the challenge for the Journal.
