Timber buildings are highly favored as a sustainable and low-carbon structural solution. Advances in engineered wood products and growing environmental concerns have enabled timber to be used in midrise and highrise buildings. However, challenges remain in structural behavior, seismic and fire performance, connections, longterm durability, and digital design integration.

This special issue focuses on recent advances in the structural design and analysis of timber architectures. We invite original research and review articles that explore the mechanical behavior, connection details, and long-term performance of modern timber buildings. Both theoretical and experimental contributions are welcome. This issue aims to bridge the gap between engineering and architectural design, promoting resilient and eco-friendly timber construction. Relevant topics to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:

(1) Innovative timber systems

(2) Sustainable design strategies

(3) Structural performance of timber structure

(4) Computational modeling of timber structure

(5) Hybrid structures

(6) Timber design and practice in urban-rural micro-regeneration

(7) Reclaimed timber design

(8) Traditional timber construction techniques
