2022, Sustainable Current Approaches in Architectural Science and Technology

Since the industrial revolution, developments in technology, rapid population growth, diversity in global consumption, uncontrolled urbanization practices, and industrial wastes have led to the depletion of natural resources, climate change, loss of biological diversity, and global environmental problems. In the Anthropocene era, all kinds of consumption-oriented activities leave permanent damage on the earth. The COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters and ecological crises experienced on a global scale in recent years have presented the clearest examples of irreversible damages caused by human beings. These problems have made it necessary for societies to reconsider the economic and ecological system, and for countries, institutions, councils, and academia to develop sustainable solutions and strategies that are more environmentally friendly, contribute to the global economy, and create new employment opportunities. This book brings together theoretical knowledge and practical applications that promote sustainable work and life models, and interprets the understanding of consumption from a new perspective of sustainable contemporary approaches in architectural science and technology, with the emerging new social order. Sustainable Current Approaches in Architectural Science and Technology, prepared by Livre de Lyon Publishing House, compiles research and studies on engineering, architecture, science, and technology in twelve separate chapters. The book aims to contribute to various professionals, academics, undergraduate and graduate students, and organizations operating in the construction industry, which are involved in the design, implementation, and production processes in the field of architecture and engineering. We would like to thank all the chapter authors, reviewers, and Livre de Lyon Publishing House who contributed to the creation of this book. We hope that the book will be beneficial to all readers.
