BUILDING HOMOGENEITY WITH CLIMATIC FACTORS TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Abstract

With the advent of modern architecture and the ever-increasing use of mechanical facilities, the importance of climate in architectural design was underestimated. However, due to reduction of the oil reservoirs and pollutions in cities and the irreparable damage of fossil fuels to the environment, attention to the climate and climate design was restarted since the 1950s. One of the major principles of the sustainable architecture is to consider how to optimally use the climate in architectural design. In other words, the sustainable architecture describes the architectural design with an awareness on the environment. Observing climatic conditions in the architecture will lead to energy saving. Sustainable architecture or, in other words, the same architectural architecture compatible with climate minimizes consumption and allows continued use of natural resources. Today’s human beings can have a brighter future by relying on the nature with the unlimited energy. What has been considered in this article is architectural design with respect to the climate and its applicability in the design and construction of buildings considering the latest science and technology to achieve sustainable design.
