It focuses first on its historical foundations, development of these concepts and its mode of application. The study also considered the significance of these theories in recent times and identified a comparative pattern language among the concepts. The methodology involved extensive literature review on the principles. The results revealed that Green Architecture is the longest surviving, design and building concept. Again, the study demonstrated that these principles regardless of their origin emphasize sustainability and the ability to imitate and apply the laws of nature in design and building. This implies that from the conception stage of design, the designer must consider the complexities and beauties of the site resulting in enhanced harmony between man, buildings and the natural environment.
