Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is Series II of the Special Issue “Sustainable Architecture Design”.
Industry, universities, and research centers can contribute solutions to problems regarding the responsible and sustainable design of architecture. These problems have to be solved from a multidisciplinary point of view, via the design of existing solutions of materials, elements and constructive systems, structures, and facilities.
In addition, the recent climate emergencies declared by the European Union and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP25) are promoting a change in the paradigms of sustainability in all its facets. This Special Issue focuses on bringing original research and literature reviews from different areas related to architecture, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and urbanism. Manuscript submissions in the areas mentioned as keywords below are highly encouraged.
