This book comprises the select proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Formal Methods in Architecture (6FMA), A Coruña 2022. 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 in the book 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. This book proves a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.

Plácido Lizancos Mora is a Spanish architect (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 1988) and Masters of Architecture for African Development (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 2009). As a senior professor, he teaches architectonic analysis and basic habitability at Escola Técnica Superior de Arquitectura of Universidade da Coruña (ETSAC) since 1993. He has also taught as a visitor in PUCMM in the Dominican Republic; ENA in Rabat, Morocco; and UEM Mozambique and USB in Venezuela. As a researcher, he approaches using analytical tools to address social issues of architecture, producing many publications in this field and managing several research projects, some of them in a joint venture with Architecture Sanz Frontiers. He is also committed to managing educational institutions in various positions.

David Leite Viana is a post-doc. in Urban Morphology/Civil Engineering (FEUP, 2015), Ph.D. in Urban and Spatial Planning (IUU-UVa, 2008), DEA in Modern City and Architecture (UVa, 2005), and Dipl. Arch. (ESAP, 1999). He is the head of the Urban Planning Division at Matosinhos Municipality, a professor in the Integrated Master Programme on Architecture and Urbanism at UPT, an invited professor in the Master Programme on Geographic Information Systems Applied to Spatial Planning, Urbanism and Landscape at UPV, PhD supervisor in the doctorate programme on Architecture for the Contemporary Metropolitan Territories at Iscte, an external reviewer at Chalmers University of Technology (Architecture and Urban Design Programme), a researcher at CEAU-FAUP, a visiting scholar in the Centre for Architecture, Urbanism and Global Heritage at NTU, and a visiting fellow in the Architecture & City Group at TU Delft (Theories of Architecture Fellowship Program). He is a co-founder and co-chair of the International Symposium Formal Methods in Architecture, PNUM Scientific Councillor and editorial board member of the journal “Revista de Morfologia Urbana”. He is the author of one book and co-editor of three volumes and two special issues. He is also the author of more than twenty book chapters and more than twenty-five papers published nationally and abroad.

Franklim Morais is a Portuguese civil and electronic engineer, Ph.D. professor and researcher. He was the leader of development teams of private commercial software for scientific applications: pioneering, in the early 1980s, the use of finite element methods for structural engineering on microcomputing; and since the early 1990s, developing COTS private hardware and software systems for smart buildings, urban spaces and cities. He is an invited professor in ESAP (Arts University of Porto) Architectural Course since 2001. He participates in LIAD, an academic research team, in a group dedicated to Formal Methods in Architecture. A major achievement is the production of DepthSpace3D and SCAVATools, digital tools for space syntax analysis. Since 1991, he participated in the organization (scientific and operational committees) of 12 conferences on his scientific fields of interest, including the 2 symposia of the series “Formal Methods in Architecture” (since 2011). Since 1987, he has produced several conference papers and journal articles, being co-editor of three books on Formal Methods in Architecture.
