Concept Of Sustainable Architecture Research Articles

Reconstruction of vanished cities

The preservation of historical heritage has the potential to act as a means of regenerative design in line with the concept of sustainable architecture. The idea of revitalising monuments is a tool to preserve and restore large green spaces and biodiversity. It is possible to create a multiplicative effect between historical and requested values of the contemporary environment: revival of dervish hotels – “hanakas” for digital nomads, wine taverns for tourists, craft workshops, gardens, art etc. to preserve crafts and natural environment, while participating in climate change mitigation.

Adaptive reused heritage building based on sustainable architecture

Selective reuse of heritage buildings should be based on consideration of strategic issues of sustainable development. Research that discusses the reuse of cultural heritage buildings in the field of architecture still does not implement the concept of sustainable architecture. The purpose of the study is to obtain a strategy formulation that can be used as a parameter for adaptive implementation of reuse in cultural heritage buildings in line with sustainable development. The research took a case study of De Tjolomadoe building in Surakarta City, Indonesia. The building is a former sugar factory building currently converted as a meeting place, tourist destination, and educational communal space. The benefits of the research provide recommendations for adaptive reused strategies for cultural heritage buildings with the concept of sustainable architecture to support sustainable development. The study used in-depth observation with interview techniques and secondary data from the literature as the determination of the most important factor of the concept of sustainable architecture in optimizing the management of cultural heritage buildings. The results show that there are four architectural aspects that need to be considered so that adaptive reused cultural heritage buildings can provide sustainable benefits, i.e., the need for integration and synergy between building history, culture, environment.

Current Actuality of Sustainable Architecture: Prospects, Obstacles and Practical Implementation Strategies

Conventional architecture requires a lot of energy and emits a considerable amount of carbon dioxide, not only during its construction but also in the use process. According to the report released by the China Association of Energy Building Efficiency in 2020, the overall energy consumption of architecture takes up 46.5% of the final energy consumption in China. As environmental issues become one of the most important affairs worldwide, conventional architecture should explore a new path to address the long-existed excessive energy consumption and pollution problem. At the same time, the concept of sustainable architecture is put forward as a solution to the issue. In the past few years, innovations and breakthroughs have taken place in the construction industry and relevant strategies have been adopted by many projects. However, in order that the future of architecture will be rooted in nature and benefit the human well-being, the concept of sustainable architecture should be popularized extensively instead of serving as pioneer projects. This present article aims to assess the current actuality of sustainable architecture, including its prospects and obstacles. Also, it will propose several strategies with respect to developing eco-friendly building materials, adopting energy-efficient building design, and promoting vertical green facades along with one or two real-life cases.

Advancing Technical Performance in Smart-EcovBuildings Aim to Energy Efficiency: A Comprehensive Analysis for Sustainable Building

Contemporary societies are experiencing transformative changes across various industries, including construction. The surge in energy consumption, driven by factors such as population growth, industrialization, urban development, and the escalating demand for housing, has resulted in a worrisome increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Notably, the building sector accounts for a substantial portion of energy consumption, amounting to approximately 40% of total energy usage and corresponding CO2 emissions. The concept of sustainable architecture gained momentum in the late 20th century, catalyzed by the environmental movement and heightened awareness of the detrimental impact of human activities on the environment. Embracing environmental considerations and drawing inspiration from traditional architecture, sustainable design methodologies emerged, integrating indigenous design principles with modern technology in a harmonious manner. Another avenue toward achieving high-performance architecture lies in the integration of smart building systems. By concurrently emphasizing environmental factors and harnessing the potential of intelligent technologies, a new architectural paradigm termed "Smart-Eco building" emerges, encompassing sustainable architecture within the built environment. Smart-Eco buildings comprise diverse parameters, each containing its own subsections. This study specifically focuses on the parameter of "Technical performance," delving into its subcategories, such as facades, windows, shading systems, roofs, and others. This article examines the importance of window and shading optimization within the context of Smart-Eco buildings. By prioritizing the analysis of window ratios and shading systems, the authors aim to shed light on their role in enhancing technical performance to meet ASHRAE standards. Through an exploration of cutting-edge research and innovative approaches, this study seeks to contribute to the ongoing advancements in sustainable architecture and the creation of environmentally conscious built environments.

Alternative technologies of engineering environmental protection and climate adjustment for managing its changes, as well as habitat restoration in the sinking coastal areas of the city are presented. Attention is drawn to the problem of eliminating the consequences of negative impacts on ecosystems and restoring the natural environment: the transformation and recreation of forests and areas with drained swamps, as well as the formation of agricultural biodiversity in the context of food security. The results of the study can be useful for the theory and practice of sustainable architecture formation, as they open up completely new opportunities for creative search.

Climate Crisis

The concept of sustainable development implies seeking a balance between exploitation and protection of the Earth's resources in an attempt to preserve our basis for living. Sustainable development must satisfy people’s present needs without jeopardizing future generations’ chances of satisfying theirs. Among architects, the concept of sustainable architecture emerged from various social interests based on various interpretations of the problem and characterized by quite a number of different pathways, each pointing to sustainable solutions as responses to the climate crisis. Architects' diverse views on sustainable architecture have become a battleground for ‘the right attitudes’ - artistic schools of thought and cultural movements with competing logics of sustainability. In this respect, the role of the architect and the choice of sustainable logic become central to the design process of sustainable architecture - and also to the development of Danish social housing. Various incentives have helped influence sustainability in a Danish context, for instance in site conditions, sustainable technologies, infrastructure, facilities, financing and social ideals. Since the energy crisis of the 1970s, the development of sustainable social housing in Denmark has also been influenced by various pathways in this fluid system of changing logics, values and beliefs as social responses to the climate crisis.

The Importance of Building Design and Its Contribution to Human Health

The purpose of this research is to find out how important it is for a building that has a healthy building approach or concept that will have a positive impact on the users of the building itself. To support the research, we use the method of collecting data from several journals found related to the research title. The results of this study indicate that every design of a building must pay attention to the element of thermal comfort from each room, the concept of healing environment, pay attention to the use of materials, and must also apply the concept of sustainable architecture. In this study, things that must be considered are what the concept of thermal comfort is good for the health of the building users themselves, the concept of healing environment, the use of materials, and also the concept of sustainable architecture. It can be concluded that the building is said to be healthy if all the discussion criteria can be implemented properly. Users of the building itself, of course, not only feel the comfort of the building that is used, but can indirectly have a positive impact on the health of the users themselves, and can also survive in a fairly long period of time.

Confusing problem of green architecture and false green architecture in mena region

Achieving sustainable and environmentally friendly architecture is one of the main goals people have made to better life as the final model for their professional activities. Thus, moving towards greener architecture is considered the primary goal of the architecture of our time. The purpose of this study is to analyze architectural projects that have already been implemented in Middle Eastern countries in terms of their compatibility with the objective concepts of sustainability and the green standards they require. Therefore, for review and study, the purpose of this article is to discover the level of sustainability classification system such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) that can be effective in classifying current architectural projects. Studies show three concepts for analyzing contemporary architecture: 1. green, 2. false green, and 3. energy-seller. Besides, these studies have shown that some projects, although attempting to convey sustainable architecture concepts in appearance, are not sustainable. In recent stages, this paper intends to evaluate the effectiveness of the LEED classification system. In evaluating the LEED classification system, the results show that the system’s purpose is more for planning purposes than objective design goals and practical tools for analyzing the architectural design process. The analysis based on this study shows that it is necessary to use design-based patterns to move false green architecture to green architecture.

Cultural Identity in Sustainable Architecture

A highly debateabletopicin architectural fraternity is the 'sustainable architecture' which has been addressed in many publications. Literature terminology applies to different types of such architecture: 1970s eco-design, 1980s green design, late 1980s and 1990s ecological design. This demonstrates the emergence of a construction-oriented architecture that prioritizes the natural environment until the mid-1990s. Sustainable architecture, on the other hand, as with all previous architecture approaches, can not only be considered a moral and architectural practice, but its contribution to social, cultural and economic infrastructure in the region. [1] UNESCO has coined "real life sustainability" to expand the overall concept of sustainable architecture from design to architecture incorporating local identity as part of the design process. [1] UNESCO coined the concept 'absolute sustainable life.'[2] Frampton aims to tackle local and contemporary global architectural culture at the same time as the notion of 'critical regionalism.' In his narrated essay, he stresses on value of sustainability in architecture as a cultural framework, not just a technique or process. [3] Culture defines a diverse concept that incorporates all intellectual activity of society. [4]Culture is; dynamic, exchanged, transformed into a new generation, expressed within the group and the person, interpreted in each community member. This includes laws, beliefs, principles, convictions and expectations. It transmits longevity and can improve the community's vitality. These are the assertion of "culture" in Matsumato's book "Psychology and Community."[5][6] The paper discusses about the sustainable cultural with architectural aspects. Part 1 discusses about eco-cultural architecture from various aspects of sustainable architecture. Next part 2 analyses world-class construction practices as eco-cultural reasoning practices, and part 3 discusses a case study of Turkey's sustainable solutions to local issues.

Sustainability Systems and Criteria (University Of Baghdad an analytical model according to LEED standards)

The concept of sustainable architecture and intellectual horizons related considered one of the more orientations modern architecture that have emerged in recent times for the formation of the urban environment, through efforts to mitigate change climate by studying the correlation between man and the ocean environment, linked to the same time Urban culture for community and environmental realities. This trend of trading Find the intellectual aspects of sustainability during the formation of sustainable architecture and economic aspects of the thought of sustainability and future prospects of the development of this concept. The study assumes that the foundations and principles that launched them sustainability in harmony with urban design, which focused on environmental realities and studied the effects of climatic and social environment is linked at the same time composition optimization of the elements of architectural emanating from the local architecture and using them optimally, without neglecting the economic aspects and factors affecting the other. Hence the choice of the University of Baghdad, an analytical model to LEED standards, although the design of the University of Baghdad, came in the late fifties of the last century and through the great architect Walter Gropius (1883-1969) where he showed his convictions dedicate design, schematic cross-system crossing involves a malformed graphic elements identical in architectural language with other elements characterized by its processors to design a great deal of excellence and excitement.
