The Concept Of Sustainable Design

Design plays a significant role in people lives. Design contains a range of areas such as: architecture, landscape, fashion and graphic etc. Judging from the large number of exhibition, museum and modern building appears in recent year that people seems to put more emphasis on their visual artistic effect and design. Margolin (1992, P105) said, “The importance of design history has also been increasingly recognized by design professionals”. This means design history is necessary for contemporary

each style has its own principles and famous architects that created the style or are categorized under it based on their designs. Styles can truly help throughout the design stage, especially with the concept part. For this proposed project, two schools have been chosen to incorporate and follow, these two schools are the International Modern Architectural School and Sustainable Modern School. 5.1.1 International Modern Architectural School: 5.1.1.1 Definition: In the term of architecture, International

Introduction Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (1, 2). Figure 1-Sustainable development: the interaction of social Environmental and Economic factors (3) The purpose of the report inspired by the above statement made on the Brundtland Report, 1987, is to link the concept of environmental sustainability to architecture and in particular in the context of city planning, building

contributed and approached fundamental issues within ecological design. INTRODUCTION Ecological design is the sole responsibility of innovation and the creativity of products and objects that will sustain our society and future societies. It is critical that we change the way sustainable design is perceived and interpreted, by beginning to develop an understanding of the history and journey from ‘Green design’ into ‘Sustainable design’ as well as looking at the direction in which we would like it

The roof is equipped with a louver system, enabling staff to adjust fan blades to allow more or less natural sunlight to penetrate through the ceiling, depending on the preferred temperature and time of year, much like the roof of the Verizon Center

the newest innovations in sustainable engineering and design is the concept known as Whole System Design. It works with creating a balance between social, economic, and environmental factors in order to generate a design that is in synergy with all factors combined. This research aims to explore its elements, including asking the right questions, designing and optimizing the whole system, and modeling the system. Discussion One of the first elements of Whole System Design is the importance of asking

1. INTRODUCTION The activation of the application of the concepts and practices of sustainability and green architecture in the construction industry will lead to finding appropriate solutions to the problems of environmental, economic and functional. Green architecture and sustainable buildings is not a luxury academically, and do not approach the theory or the aspirations and dreams have no place in reality, but because they represent a global trend for the application and start to be professional

intelligent scientific design, where it is the advancement of the current generation needs without hampering the future generation needs. The environmental and economic problems in our planet are mostly contributed by the construction industry and urbanization. We must take the challenge and create eco-design, sustainability and construction practices to diminish the energy consumption. We must use the right materials, construction techniques, building elements and energy focused concepts. Often countries

CRADLE-TO-CRADLE In his Natural Step framework, Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt states that: 1. In order for a society to be sustainable, nature’s functions and diversity are not systematically subjected to increasing concentrations of substances extracted from the Earth’s crust. In a sustainable society, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and the mining of metals and minerals will not occur at a rate that causes them to increase systematically in the ecosphere. 2. Nature’s functions and

Sustainable architecture is a specific kind of design which focuses on meeting the needs of these generations without compromising the needs of those generations to come. Architects from around the world have become aware of the impact that society has on the environment, and have created sustainable architecture in order to help preserve the environment, but at the same time, create comfortable spaces that are ideal for living and are aesthetically pleasing. This innovative architecture has attracted
