Usually people think that architecture means creating new buildings and structures with new technology or they set a limitation with the work of an architect but actually architecture is all about creating a healthy environment with innovative ideas. Architecture is a versatile field including engineering and design, where we can design a building with keeping in mind the all negative impacts of building on environment where we live. Architecture presents a unique challenge in the field of sustainability.
Sustainable architecture is important for the environmental stability of our Mother Earth. The main keeping eye point of sustainable architecture is to preserve the environment while constructing a building. An architect needs to be more cautious with the impact of building on environment. Sustainable design is a thoughtful process of architecture with mechanical, electrical and structural engineering and also a design philosophy of designing buildings to comply with the principles of economic, social as well as ecological sustainability.
Sustainability is a key issue in studying environmental architecture with energy application.Sustainable construction is defined as “the creation and responsible management of a healthy built environment based on resource efficient and ecological principles”. Sustainably designed buildings aim to lessen their impact on
our environment through energy efficiency.It includes the following principles:
• Enhancing the natural environment.
• Minimizing non-renewable resource consumption.
• Minimizing the use of toxic materials.
