The issue of industrial heritage conservation respectively its new use is worldwide hot topic already longer period. Even though this topic is quite often discussed among professionals it is considered as unexhausted. Industrial heritage provides one of the most important records of development of cities, towns and the whole human civilization. Monumental industrial buildings reflects the extraordinary technical and economical development, the progress of science and technology in the last two centuries. Even after the termination of their original function, they are still significantly participating in the atmosphere of each city with their architecture. Industrial factories in Slovakia were usually situated apart from city centres. As a result of rapid urbanization, old industrial heritage structures found themselves in the middle of residential areas and they have become the comprehensive multidisciplinary and multi-criteria problem for them. Such problem can have a major impact on society, on the macro, meso and micro levels, as well as on quality of future human and nature life. Within the dynamic process of architectural and urban practice development in this area it is essential to integrate the widest range of existing research disciplines that actively interfere with the industrial heritage conservation. The dissertation thesis "Industrial Heritage and Educational Polygon" is aimed at deepening the opportunities for cooperation between the research of industrial heritage conservation and architectural practice. It deals with the identified key factors that conditionally affect the quality and efficiency of architectural design process within the multidisciplinary cooperation in the conservation process as well as it deals with the opportunities of transfer the research results from disciplines those operates separately up to now. Educational Polygon is used as a tool for identification of potential of the industrial heritage and it also serves as an effective aid - communication and educational tool - throughout the process. For this purpose the thesis examines examples, research studies and on the basis of which provides conceptual model solution. Effectiveness of used procedures of the system Educational Polygon (EP) has been verified within the project "Reconstruction of old Power plant in Piestany." The results confirms that using the procedures of transdisciplinary collaboration it is possible not only efficiently learn about the industrial heritage but also explore new values and options of architectural designing at the same time. Parallel benefit of EP application is continuous education of the general public, the successful reuse of industrial heritage and active development of the city in the spirit of local cultural diversity.
