Aims and scope

The Scientific Journal "Theory and Building Practice" publishes high-quality research addressing contemporary challenges in civil engineering, the built environment, and environmental engineering. The journal focuses on advancing knowledge and practice in the following areas: building construction and architecture, construction materials and technologies, infrastructure and road engineering, construction management and digitalisation, structural mechanics, and environmental engineering, including heating, gas supply, ventilation, hydraulic and sanitary systems.

The journal aims to contribute to the transition towards sustainable, energy-efficient, and climate-resilient built environments by promoting innovative solutions, interdisciplinary approaches, and the integration of advanced technologies such as digital modelling, simulation, and smart systems in construction and building operation.

Objectives

  • to foster interdisciplinary research and expand the scientific outlook across construction, environmental engineering, and related fields;
  • to disseminate cutting-edge research findings and best practices addressing global challenges such as climate change, energy efficiency, and urban resilience;
  • to support collaboration between academia, industry, and policy-makers for the development and implementation of innovative engineering solutions;
  • to encourage international cooperation and knowledge exchange among researchers and practitioners;
  • to provide a platform for discussing emerging methodologies, including digital twins, computational modelling, and data-driven approaches in the built environment.

The journal regularly publishes contributions from researchers of the Institute of Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Life Safety of Lviv Polytechnic National University, as well as from leading Ukrainian and international institutions. It serves as a platform for scientific dialogue, exchange of ideas, and dissemination of research methodologies and practical achievements, contributing to the development of a global research community in construction and environmental engineering.
