During these years, from 2014 till 2020, SMC Journal has attempted to create a partnership of common aims and sensibility towards certain very delicate subjects; the past months have seen the world, and not only our Mediterranean area, facing its weakness and fragility in a very wild and unsettling contemplation. The humans thought they could be superior to the Nature and that their money could buy everything, starting from resources till reaching the technologies with which to dominate finally all the Earth inconveniences. Unfortunately the natural diseases could have not been defeated so easily as they thought: exactly in the year in which finally all the world, and in particular the old Europe have achieved to promote a serious programme of solutions, strategies and measures capable of counteracting the Planet destruction, with the identification of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for the 2030, the Nature has emerged more than ever in its strength and wildness. Therefore this Journal, already prepared to face these goals, but a little less able to face the Health problems in the anthropic regions, would like to extend these important Environmental subjects and has decided to promote other two issues about the SDGs 2030. To the 17 SDG, established by Europe in 2015, the Editorial Committee has added: 18) Soil and biodiversity preservation, 19) Responsible use of resources. Therefore as for n. 11 and n. 12, the next ones 13 and 14 will be centred on the European targets for Sustainable Development; if n. 11 was dedicated to the Architecture and Design scale of interventions and strategies and n. 12 was mainly dealing with City and Land scale questions, this next CALL (for n. 13 and n. 14) will ask for contributions mainly aimed at achieving the following topic: Agenda 2030. Sustainable constructions of human habitat. In particular issue n. 13 will be declined according to the first whole of sub-topics: 1) Goals 1-6 | Health, comfort and clear water – according to human habitat; 2) Goals 13-19 | Climate, soil, resources, sharing – according to human habitat; 3) Agenda 2030 – The role of Technology for building and modifying human habitat.
Magazine main subjects, Construction technology, Material science, Survey and representation, Construction procedures and security, Urban planning, Land transformation and perception, History of architecture, Hydraulics, Geological impacts, Architectural and Engineering design, Energy saving, Structural and Technical physics, Industrial design and Legal studies, are all connected with the sustainable construction in the Mediterranean region.
