Description: This volume is a special issue with the aim to disseminate knowledge on research studies, projects, processes and methodologies carried out by academics, researchers and expert professionals on issues involving various scales: from the object to the building, to the city, to the landscape, to the processes. The authors' contributions address contemporary issues identifying a new empathetic approach to architecture and design, providing insights on issues including: systemic-relational design, biocomposites, innovative lighting systems, challenges for addressing global warming and pollution, trends of 3D printing for architecture, innovation for medical devices. All the themes are described from an ecological-environmental, aesthetic-functional and economic-social point of view.

Description:

The International Conference “Engineering for Environment Protection – TOP“ according to reports from experts in this field, is the most important conferences focusing on technique and technology of environmental protection i Slovakia. The tradition of the conference started in 1995, when it was held the first year. The main initiators, creators and organizers were employees of the Department of Production Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering STU in Bratislava, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Environment SR, stakeholders, Association of cities and towns and Recycling Fund. Guarantee of high professional level of conference are the authorities of conference – International Program committee and Organizing committee.

The main aim and focus of the conference is to provide the latest theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of minimizing of generation, treatment, recovery and disposal of waste; systems of monitoring for environmental protection; energy production from biomass and waste.
