Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of this Special Issue is to present advances and emerging approaches in the field of structural design of green roofs, ecological approaches, resource optimization techniques, spatial structures, materials technology, and other related themes. Our aim is to provide a forum for researchers across disciplines and various fields within the green roof architectural research.
The editors encourage the submission of studies that outline the general development of the main disciplines of green roof design and how to reach sustainability in a world with rapid climate change. Manuscripts regarding original research proposals and ideas are highly appreciated. Manuscripts containing summaries and surveys on research cooperation and future projects (such as those founded by national governments or others) are likewise appreciated, as they provide interesting information for a broad field of users. Articles discussing methodologies and reviews of the current state of knowledge, and opportunities for future research are also welcome. In particular, this issue intends to provide a forum for a productive exchange of ideas and interaction among diverse technical and scientific fields such as structural, architectural, materials science, as well as applied biology, ecology, and urban sciences.
This issue will publish high-quality reviews and research articles. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and methodological details, as applicable, must be provided, and the Special Issue will be published by the journal Sustainability. All submissions must adhere to the MDPI format requirements.
