Abstract:
Nowadays, with the deteriorating environment, people are increasingly concerned about the ecological environment and sustainable development. More and more architects are committed to sustainable building design and research. In China, designers, professors and students in the architecture realm are encouraged to get involved into sustainable architecture design practically/theoretically. With this background this paper presents a case study of a sustainable architectural design called “Painter’s House”, which concentrates on the openness and ecology of architecture. It contains concepts and ideas of functional diversity, integrated sustainable architectural design, as well as “eco-box”, hoping to induce more profound discussion in the sustainable architectural design area.

Abstract:
In this article, I explore conceptual strategies encouraging an ecologically responsive, water-centric approach to architectural design, such that design interventions become nature/culture hybrids connecting urban dwellers to larger hydrological conditions. I consider the notion of horizons as one mechanism for working out a trajectory for sustainable architecture, one that highlights experiential and environmental concerns simultaneously. In a conceptual shift, theorist David Leatherbarrow’s treatment of “three architectural horizons” (the equipmental—the objects of one’s immediate setting; the practical—the enclosure of a building; and the environmental— what lies beyond) are reshuffled: the practical expands to the watershed (the bioregion as common dwelling place) while environmental processes couple with the equipment of buildings, such that architectures deliver net positive watershed impact.

Abstract:
With the advent of modern architecture and the ever-increasing use of mechanical facilities, the importance of climate in architectural design was underestimated. However, due to reduction of the oil reservoirs and pollutions in cities and the irreparable damage of fossil fuels to the environment, attention to the climate and climate design was restarted since the 1950s. One of the major principles of the sustainable architecture is to consider how to optimally use the climate in architectural design. In other words, the sustainable architecture describes the architectural design with an awareness on the environment. Observing climatic conditions in the architecture will lead to energy saving. Sustainable architecture or, in other words, the same architectural architecture compatible with climate minimizes consumption and allows continued use of natural resources. Today’s human beings can have a brighter future by relying on the nature with the unlimited energy. What has been considered in this article is architectural design with respect to the climate and its applicability in the design and construction of buildings considering the latest science and technology to achieve sustainable design.

Abstract:
The research is concerned with studying the characteristics of Sustainable Architecture and Green Architecture, as a general research methodology related to the specific field of architecture, based on the differentiation between two generic concepts, Sustainability and Greening, to form the framework of the research specific methodology, where both concepts seem to be extremely overlapping for research centers, individuals, and relevant organizations. In this regard, the research tend towards searching their characteristics and to clearly differentiates between the two terms, particularly in architecture, where the research seeks understanding sustainable and green architectures, how they are so close or so far, and the possibility of finding common features between them that might make them as a one synaptic concept. The research problem focuses on that there is no clear differentiation between sustainable and green architectures, what causes a matter of confusion and unclarity in dealing with building projects what affects understanding processes and procedures during the progress of design, construction, and operation, within the whole building life cycle, and this leads to a defect in understanding the formation of building design, construction and operation. The research hypothesis shows that environmental and architectural indicators can form a mechanism to differentiate between sustainable architecture and green architecture. This mechanism depends on several elements that form, together, the hypothesis testing tool, and in turn, this tool will become a method to verify the hypothesis reaching accomplishing the goal of the research (formation of a theoretical framework) that enable to differentiate between sustainable and green architectures. The research methodology depends, also, on the effects of factors like economy, technology, welfare, and else, with focusing on the green growth and sustainable development as distinguished statuses in the two concepts, to reach establishing a comparative study and understanding their developing stages and clarifying the main differences between sustainability and greening, architecture wise, to form the elements of the theoretical framework to differentiate between sustainable architecture and green architecture. The theoretical framework is applied in two environmentally friendly architectural projects (case studies) to search their environmental and architectural features to reveal the availability of the features and characteristics of a sustainable building and a green building in each one of them.

Abstract:
Digital technology and its use in architecture support the construction industry in transitioning to more sustainable building development. Digital technology is widely taught in architecture programs in China, but there are few consistent strategies for combining digital architectural design with traditional architectural design in architectural education. Consequently, sustainable design concepts are not included in digital architectural design courses, and thus architectural education is not concerned with sustainable development. In this paper, we focus on the teaching of digital design in architecture and investigate how digital architectural design teaching can incorporate sustainability. Data from 15 universities were qualitatively analyzed, leading to the development of four models of teaching digital architectural design. Development of the models revealed that there are three increasing levels in digital architectural design teaching and that there is a close relationship between the teaching level and the transfer of architectural knowledge. This recognition led to the development of a single comprehensive model of digital architectural design teaching that is universally applicable. This research increases our understanding of digital architectural design teaching in architecture programs and strengthens the multi-level connections between digital architectural design teaching and designing and constructing sustainable built objects.

Abstract:
With the impact of urbanization and other factors, the vernacular architectural heritage faces the problem of how to carry on and innovate for sustainable development with originality and authenticity in the process of redesigning and planning. Therefore, this study uses the visualization method of quantitative analysis to analyze the research trends and hot spots of domestic vernacular architecture and explore new ways of coexistence between vernacular architecture, subject perception and cultural ecology. The critical challenge of this study is to analyze the theoretical coupling action rule between the socio-cultural structure of emotions and the cultural ecosystem of vernacular architecture, drawing on the concept of cultural ecology and the reasoning method of transmission relations in logical deduction. The main contribution of this study is to propose the concept of a subjective-cultural ecological design system for the sustainable development of vernacular architecture, to establish a three-dimensional structural analysis design paradigm and an evaluation analysis matrix, and to make vernacular architecture present the self-renewal ability of continuous exchange and revision in the dynamic cycle of this design system. This study aims to provide a standardized and flexible design research framework for contemporary vernacular architecture’s innovation and sustainable development.

Abstract:
Sustainable environmental design solutions are crucial to reducing negative environmental impacts and maximizing the comfort of building inhabitants. This article emphasizes how these practices and ideas affect building performance and delves into the essentials of sustainable environmental design. Energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable material use, and renewable energy source integration are some of the measures examined in the project, which aim to lessen environmental consequences and promote sustainability. This study aims to illuminate effective, sustainable design solutions by analyzing current case studies and sustainable building certifications like LEED and BREEAM. Modern ventilation systems, green roofs, and passive solar architecture are just a few examples of the creative ideas shown in these case studies that help make buildings more sustainable. Considerations of economics, regulatory frameworks, and technical developments are among the opportunities and threats that the article lists as consequences of embracing sustainable design approaches. The findings show that sustainable environmental design offers many economic and social benefits, including reduced operational costs, enhanced indoor air quality, and increased occupant happiness. The paper concludes with suggestions for how sustainable design concepts might be more widely used in architectural practices and policy frameworks to create truly sustainable built environments. It argues for a comprehensive strategy that combines economic, social, and environmental objectives.

Based on the results of the research in 2004, this article aims to suggest a guideline to developan appropriate approach of sustainable architectural design in Thailand. Rather than creating a checklist,this article points out the areas that are commonly ignored by the current approaches of Thai sustainablearchitecture. The analysis is based upon literature review of books, articles, and reports coveringissues related to sustainable development and sustainable, ecological, and green architecture. Theprogress of sustainable development and sustainable architectural design at national and internationallevels are reviewed and analyzed with an intention to compare sustainable architectural design inThailand with a concept of sustainable development and the international theory of sustainable design.Three images that characterize different approaches of sustainable architectural design in Thailand arebuilding technology/energy conservation, culture/vernacular architecture, and community and urbanplanning. According to the study, the approaches of Thai sustainable design are limited and cannotcapture the whole idea of the international concerns toward sustainability. In order to make sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand more comparable to the international approach as well as suitable forThai context and the country’s policy, such as the “Sufficiency Economy” concept, sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand should be more developed and integrate those international concernswith Thailand’s approaches.

Different living organisms grow and thrive in the universe in a self-sustaining environment. These organisms thrive on sustainable technologies, functions and approaches which help them to survive in composite environment. The growing demand of natural resources, and fundamental research shows that many ideas, and sustainable technologies are derived from natural phenomenon. Biomimicry elaborates the sustainable solution relying on nature-based concepts, and applied to solve complex human problems. Biomimetics architecture is a multi-disciplinary domain. In the field of biomimetics architecture, focus is on nature’s time-tested patterns, mechanism and its process to analyze and imitate natural systems. The architectural research shows that concepts of biomimicry is beneficial in achieving sustainable and energy efficient design. For sustainable building biomimicry is an alternative solution with parameters of structural, water, energy efficiency and zero waist system. Biomimicry is instrumental in setting up alternative architectural solutions. It makes building more efficient and sustainable in terms of water conservation, energy efficiency and waste management. This research paper focuses on exploring biomimetic architecture as a futuristic solution to sustainable building design. It elaborates the basic principles of biomimicry, nature-based design approaches, levels and its efficient implementation in built environment. This paper also deals with the applications of biomimicry in architectural design, and highlights different architect’s work inspired by nature.

Abstract:
Effective and efficient data management is crucial for smart farming and precision agriculture. To realize operational efficiency, full automation, and high productivity in agricultural systems, different kinds of data are collected from operational systems using different sensors, stored in different systems, and processed using advanced techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning. Due to the complexity of data management operations, a data management reference architecture is required. While there are different initiatives to design data management reference architectures, a data management reference architecture for sustainable agriculture is missing. In this study, we follow domain scoping, domain modeling, and reference architecture design stages to design the reference architecture for sustainable agriculture. Four case studies were performed to demonstrate the applicability of the reference architecture. This study shows that the proposed data management reference architecture is practical and effective for sustainable agriculture.

There has been little emphasis in STS scholarship to date on the design of the built environment. This paper attempts to address this oversight by examining alternative design practices in the growing field of sustainable architecture. We propose a geohistorical framework that includes three design dispositions?"context-bound, context-free, and context-rich?"and illustrate each with a prominent sustainable building practice. The principal argument of the paper is that each of these dispositions embodies distinct assumptions and attitudes about how to improve social and material conditions of the built environment, and as such, offers unique opportunities for STS scholars to shape the sociotechnical aspects of cities through intervention in design activities.

Abstract:
The sustainable approach in design education is ubiquitous, yet too many barriers exist to its application in the real world. Plastic waste, for example, has been a potential architectural building element for years. Still, its application is uncommon because of the gap between waste processing and consumers' demand and knowledge as the main contributors to the waste volume. The paper aims to discuss the possibility of design class pedagogy with the reflection from the class " Architecture and Waste: Plastic by UMN." How the sustainable approach could affect students towards the actual act daily became the intention of the course? The method uses a practiced-based methodology by dividing the class into two balance sessions of theory and practice, thus creating loops of the design process. They were ignited by the discussion on sustainable design approaches in design, architecture and construction, and plastic waste, both potential and problems, and projecting the issue into everyday life. Plastic is used due to its abundance and can be recycled in small units. The result shows that focusing on the process and relating what the class and workshop are doing to everyday life could effectively impact students' thinking about sustainability. Furthermore, by doing deep research on certain materials, the student has a broader illustration of how the networks of sustainability work that will affect more significant decision-making, especially in architecture.

Abstract:
In the context of China’s sustainable development and dual carbon goals, research on thermodynamic architecture theory and vernacular architecture increasingly aligns with international trends, developing distinct characteristics. This research addresses the challenge of rapid changes in the built environment by focusing on climate adaptability and passive technologies. However, the development of thermodynamic theory in vernacular architecture faced technical limitations in the early 21st century and was later overshadowed by the industry’s reliance on active technologies to meet green building standards, resulting in a reduced role for architects in the green building field. This article traces the origins of passive architecture, rooted in vernacular architecture, and applies thermodynamic theory to explore architectural prototypes. It examines the theoretical feasibility of architectural design in achieving low-carbon and sustainable goals, aiming to fill a gap in thermodynamic theory within the broader context of sustainable architectural development. After demonstrating the various passive prototypes inherent in vernacular architecture, this paper proposes a courtyard prototype focused on residential comfort for design translation and analysis. The research methods employed include bioclimatic charting, balance point temperature analysis in time series, and extensive computer simulations. Through the process of prototype extraction, performance analysis, validation, and optimization, the paper systematically discusses sustainable design methods within the framework of thermodynamic architecture theory. It also provides practical demonstrations of these methods across four distinct climate regions in China. By translating vernacular architectural designs, this research systematically organizes the theoretical framework for architects’ early involvement in low-carbon and green building design, offering a theoretical foundation for initiating the design process through prototype translation while guiding the generation of green ecological buildings.

Abstract:
Tectonics–the art of construction- is an essential topic in architectural theory that deals with the potentials of structure, techniques and materials to create poetic architecture. On the other hand, sustainable architecture is a multidisciplinary field concerned with buildings designed for wellbeing, as well as to provide healthy environments while sustaining architectural qualities. The new approaches in architectural research have given way to a distinct collaboration between the two domains (tectonics and sustainability) –in both their classical and digital facets—to constitute what is known as "sustainable tectonics", as a way to generate remarkable and empathic architectural forms. The article aims to shed light on the practices that adopt implicit thought of tectonics, and its relation to sustainability. The pursuit of sustainability is thus explored through two categories: classical sustainable tectonics and digital sustainable tectonics, to finally extract the mechanism of the tectonic theory and its application in sustainable architecture. The findings offer a clear mechanism in achieving distinguished architecture, through the integration of classical tectonic factors in passive sustainable practices, and digital tectonics in active sustainable design.

Preservation of historic buildings plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable environment by serving as a model for climate-responsive designs and bridge between the past and the present architecture. This study focused on the need for architectural preservation of historic buildings in order to explore their unique features for energy efficiency that can benefit the environment in a sustainable manner. The study relied on case study methodology. Intrinsic approach to case selection is adopted because of historical relevance and significance to sustaining the typical tropical architecture design characteristics. The design of this case study is guided by the thermal comfort and energy efficiency theoretical developments of tropical architecture. The features of investigation center around the design characteristics and strategies that enhance the livability of a typical tropical building. Data for this research is primarily sourced through direct observation and photographs. Analysis of the data is done thematically. Findings reveal the investigated case building possesses design strategies and characteristics for the prevention and removal of solar heat gains in tropical buildings. These would enhance sustainable architectural practices within the tropical climate of Nigeria

Abstract:
The concept of sustainable development has been applied to the field of architecture since the end of the 20th century and has become an official paradigm for planning, design, and construction policies. However, a lot of researchers notice the lack of attention to cultural, place-based, and aesthetic aspects in the field of sustainable architecture. Moreover, the efforts to implement sustainability ideas sometimes lead to very unusual designs that can even be provocative experiments, and may sometimes lead to conflicting assessments in the general public. This study investigates the architectural language of sustainable design and how the aesthetics of sustainable architecture are distinguished and psychologically accepted by people. An online sociological survey was prepared and conducted, the results of which were analysed by general statistical calculations. The study analysed respondents' preferences towards sustainability in architecture, opinion towards sustainable architecture trends, and their features. The results of the study are illustrated by comparing opinion between professionals in the field of architecture and general public.

Abstract:
Sustainable design is at the heart of architectural engineering. The reason is that it contributes to the reduction of the negative human impact on the environment and brings improvements to human conditions as well. The proposed research is devoted to sustainable architecture with the main focus on its principles, strategies, and advanced technologies. Energy efficiency, material choice, and life cycle assessments are among the core aspects of such architecture. Through the extensive literature review, the study will promote the understanding of the integration of sustainability in architecture educational programs, regulatory policies’ effects, economic aspects, and the social advantages of using sustainable design. The overview of successful projects worldwide will deliver practical recommendations for construction and design specialists. The importance of taking care of an integrated, holistic approach to solve issues and overcome barriers on the way to sustainability will be proven as well. Finally, predicted developments will be discussed together with new technologies to follow in order to secure the future of sustainable architecture.

Abstract:
Ecological architecture is a special branch of architectural design that is actively developing in the world and gaining popularity. This article explores the relevance of ecological architecture, highlights the key aspects of this field, and provides examples of projects that contribute to the creation of more environmentally sustainable housing. Eco-architecture or sustainable architecture is an architecture that aims to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings on the efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy and space for development and the ecosystem as a whole. Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and environmental conservation in the design of the built environment. The idea of sustainability or ecological design is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not hinder the opportunities of future generations. Architecture has always been an important component of society's culture and economy. However, the growing attention to climate change and environmental issues is leading to the need to revise the architectural paradigm. Ecological architecture responds to these challenges by aiming to create buildings and urban spaces that not only meet the needs of people but also minimize the negative impact on nature. Basic principles of ecological architecture. Use of renewable resources: Building with materials that can be renewed, such as wood or bamboo, reduces the impact on nature. Energy efficiency: Modern green buildings have effective insulation and energy-saving systems that help reduce energy consumption. Use of local materials: Local building materials reduce CO2 emissions during the transportation of materials to the construction site. Climate-sensitive design: Designing buildings and urban spaces with the local climate in mind helps to provide a comfortable environment and reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling. Ecological architecture is an important area of development in modern construction. It allows us to combine people's needs for comfortable housing and workspaces with a responsible attitude towards nature. The relevance of this topic is reflected in the growing interest in green technologies, renewable energy sources and sustainable lifestyles. Thanks to the development of ecological architecture, we can build cities and buildings that will become part of the solution to environmental problems, rather than part of the problem itself. This can help reduce the impact of construction on the environment and preserve it for future generations.

Abstract:
Sustainable architectural education is offered in colleges and universities all over the world. Studies have emphasized the importance of sustainable architectural education in introductory courses of architecture major programs, but methods and strategies for teaching sustainable architecture at lower levels are scarce. This study focuses on the design-to-physical-construction process and creates a teaching framework that incorporates the concept of sustainable development from the perspectives of sustainable economy, environment and society. Based on the teaching method of learning through the design-to-physical-construction process and referring to the grounded theory, a case study on a bamboo construction project was conducted to explore approaches and strategies of sustainable architectural education in introductory courses. Results reveal that five systems, including the system of sustainable development, consist of a framework that illustrated the teaching effects. Based on the framework, we discovered five factors that should be considered in incorporating the concept of sustainable development into architectural design teaching, including the necessity of conducting sustainable architectural education in introductory courses. This study helps explore the potential role sustainability plays in incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge, connecting specialized knowledge across different program levels, and motivating student learning. It also provides a reference for the practice of sustainable architectural education.

Abstract:
Architecture plays a pivotal role in shaping the built environment and influencing societal development. Aesthetic principles of architecture, technological integration, and skill development are key factors that impact architectural design outcomes and broader societal implications. The purpose of this research is to look into the impact of architectural aesthetic principles on socioeconomic development, public well-being, and architectural modernism, while also looking into the mediating role of technological integration and the moderating role of skill development. A quantitative research approach was adopted, using a cross-sectional design. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 375 architects in Guangzhou, representing diverse architectural practices. SPSS was used for descriptive and inferential statistical analyses such as correlation, regression, and mediation analysis. The study revealed a positive relationship between aesthetic principles of architecture and socio-economic development, indicating that aesthetically pleasing designs can foster economic growth and urban development. Moreover, aesthetics significantly influenced public well-being, with thoughtfully designed spaces positively impacting the emotional and psychological well-being of users. Aesthetic principles were found to contribute to architecture modernity, inspiring innovative design practices. Technological integration emerged as a mediator, highlighting its role in translating aesthetic concepts into sustainable design solutions that impact socio-economic development, public well-being, and architecture modernity. Skill development was identified as a moderator, enhancing the integration of aesthetics and technology in architectural design. This study advances the understanding of the interplay between aesthetics, technology, and skill development in architectural practice. The findings offer practical implications for architects, policymakers, and educators, guiding the creation of aesthetically-driven, sustainable, and socially impactful designs. The study contributes to architectural theory and practice, fostering a holistic approach toward the creation of built environments that enhance the quality of life for individuals and promote sustainable development. The use of self-reported data and cross-sectional methods are the potential limitations of the study.

Abstract:
This paper explores sustainable design practices for smart cities, focusing on zero carbon emissions in future architecture. Various methods for reducing the carbon footprint of buildings are examined, including biomass, solar, and geothermal energy systems. The Vartan Bio-energy CHP plant in Stockholm exemplifies the use of biomass by converting wood waste into electricity while integrating it into the urban fabric through dynamic architectural design. Snøhetta's Power Centre in Telemark demonstrates the benefits of solar energy with an angular, sun-optimized structure that produces more energy than it consumes. Furthermore, Peter Zumthor's Therme Vals in Switzerland reflects the use of geothermal energy, harnessing natural heat to create a serene environment while minimizing environmental impact. The study concludes that adopting these sustainable practices in building design can significantly reduce energy consumption and contribute to the development of smarter, more sustainable cities.

Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
The increasing global concerns about the environmental degradation and climate changes oblige architecture students to apply sustainable design approaches in their studio projects. Therefore, renewable energy raises the expectation of providing sustainable solutions for their architectural design proposals. This paper aims to investigate the learning of students in knowledge, awareness and applicability on sustainability during their first three years of the part 1 architecture programme. Surveys were conducted on 500 students from eight architecture schools from the local universities, two architecture schools from the polytechnic colleges and three architectural schools from the overseas universities. These survey results from 335 respondents confirmed that the learning on sustainability through self (51.6%), peer (48.6%) and design studio lecturers (37.0%). These results confirmed also that most respondents did rely on pre-design assessments to develop sustainable design strategies in their final architectural design proposals. These results concluded that the perception of architecture students on learning sustainability is based mainly on other sources. These findings provide knowledge for educationists and practitioners towards the planning of architecture curriculum and the implementation of pedagogical approach in sustainability. This paper determines the most important source of learning on sustainability knowledge for students in the pedagogy at university level.

Abstract:
Sustainable design plays a pivotal role in addressing environmental and social concerns within the field of architecture. This concept involves the integration of sustainability principles throughout the architectural design process, encompassing social sustainability, sustainable materials and construction methods, and sustainability assessment. Architects can create structures that demonstrate environmental consciousness, optimize resource use, promote social inclusivity, and preserve cultural significance by incorporating these fundamental principles. However, the successful implementation of sustainable architecture faces several challenges. These challenges include limited awareness among professionals, resistance to change in the industry, complexities in integrating sustainability, and budget constraints. Overcoming these hurdles necessitates comprehensive education, government support, adherence to regulations, technology utilization, and economic incentives to encourage the adoption of sustainable design techniques. Despite these challenges, the field of sustainable architecture holds significant potential for further advancement. Opportunities for exploration include integrating emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, applying sustainable architectural principles in urban planning, advancing sustainable materials and construction methods, considering social sustainability, and developing comprehensive frameworks for holistic sustainability assessment. By advancing knowledge and innovation in these areas, sustainable architecture can contribute substantially to creating a more sustainable built environment. Architectural professionals, through collaboration, interdisciplinary approaches, and a commitment to long-term sustainability, have the potential to play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future for urban areas and communities.

Abstract:
Biophilic design approach aims at creating favorable conditions for humans in various types of anthropogenic environments, while at the same time restoring broken human–nature connection. The biophilic design guidelines and principles are general and flexible and allow wide array of architectural expressions. In order to better understand the architectural expression possibilities provided by biophilic design approach, the existing classifications of biophilic architecture and biophilic design examples were analyzed with the aim to develop the classification that would reflect the links between a building’s architectural expression and biophilic qualities. Three categories of biophilic architecture were distinguished in the developed classification: mimetic, applied, and organic. The distinguished categories were illustrated with the characteristic building examples and the evaluation of biophilic qualities and human-nature collaboration potential of these example buildings was carried out using comprehensive system of criteria. The analysis has demonstrated that all three distinguished categories—mimetic, applied, organic—allow for the creation of biophilic environments and hold the potential for human–nature collaboration, although organic biophilic design would be currently considered as the least developed, although most promising category.

Abstract:
The dispersed interpretation of ecological issues in architecture creates grounds for the confusions and contradictions inherent in the sustainable challenges. The relationship between sustainability and its architectural representation remains a troubled one. In contemporary architectural praxis the term sustainability is frequently little more than a fashionable phrase or comfort word. Through analysis of the myriad of projects, articles, and books on the subject of sustainable design, it is evident that sustainable architecture has incorporated an unnecessarily limited and inappropriate conceptualisation of social ecology. In order to overcome this deductive logic of sustainable architecture this paper has two aims. First, it investigates different notions of ecological sustainability. The paper argues that we must fundamentally revise the focus and scope of the debate about sustainable architecture. Second, following the work of Chilean architects Elemental, this paper elucidates issues of design process in constructing residence units with respect to participatory practices of community members. It explores a design process of housing in relation to issues of socio-ecological aspects. Concretising the argument, this paper investigates competing interpretations of ecological and sociological features in architectural process of designing residence units.

Abstract:
The characteristics, principles, and directions of sustainable development in architecture have been identified. The economic feasibility of implementing sustainable development in architecture has been substantiated. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been considered in the context of sustainable development. The authors suggest utilising the latest technologies and innovations to enhance production efficiency, reduce emissions through the implementation of clean technologies, and utilise resources rationally. By combining the opportunities presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution with sustainable development approaches, it is possible to achieve a balance between economic, social, and environmental aspects of development. Sustainable architecture aims to minimise negative environmental impacts and improve building performance by consuming fewer resources, reducing waste, and creating a functional and productive environment. The text discusses the importance of sustainable principles in architecture, including adaptability of architecture, recycling of resources, use of sustainable and renewable materials, and energy efficiency. The economic feasibility of applying sustainable principles in design has also been considered and justified. Additionally, the text provides examples of innovative architectural designs. This is a crucial step towards implementing sustainable building practices. The adaptability of architecture enhances space efficiency by enabling areas to serve various functions based on user requirements. Resource recycling minimises waste and the expense of extracting new materials. The use of sustainable and renewable materials aids in reducing the ecological impact of construction. Energy efficiency helps to decrease energy consumption and GHG emissions. Further research and innovative architectural designs can accelerate the development of sustainable construction and promote its wider adoption in the future. The authors suggest that taking into account the costs of building, maintaining, and operating buildings, as well as a balanced cost-benefit ratio, can significantly influence decision-making in the design and construction process. The authors argue that implementing environmental solutions in architecture may raise the initial project cost. However, in the long run, it can lead to significant economic benefits by reducing energy and maintenance costs, as well as increasing the overall value of the building.

Abstract:
Sustainable manufacturing is essential for boosting resource allocation efficiency, as well as sustainable economic development, while the construction industry is one of the main sectors affecting it. However, the complexity of multidisciplinary integration of sustainable manufacturing makes it challenging to fully integrate into architectural design teaching. By incorporating architectural design competitions in architectural design teaching, we can encourage students to systematically reflect on the role of elements beyond traditional architectural design during the architectural design process to help them gain a more comprehensive understanding of sustainable manufacturing. The research results were obtained with a combination of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. We analyzed the survey data through grounded theory and presented the results graphically, which include a framework for promoting the learning of sustainable manufacturing through architectural design competitions in teaching architectural design. In order to gain an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the teaching effect and to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, in addition to qualitative analysis, we also adopted statistical analysis to clarify whether the new teaching method is really effective. In evaluating whether there was a statistically significant difference in the understanding of sustainable manufacturing between students who participated in architectural design competitions and those who did not, according to the established teaching objectives, we found that a statistically significant difference did exist in the results, and further analyzed other contributing factors through regression analysis. Our research shows that introducing architectural design competitions into architectural design teaching is a feasible way to promote students’ understanding of sustainable manufacturing. In architectural design competitions, sustainable-manufacturing-related elements, such as resources and economy, were taken into consideration in line with various design elements, such as site, environment, ecology, and energy consumption, which were integrated into students’ design process of thinking, drawing, modeling, and presenting. In this way, students will have a clearer understanding of approaches to achieve sustainable manufacturing through architectural design. This research helps tap into the value and potential of architectural design competitions in delivering sustainable manufacturing during architecture education and can offer references for college teachers to conduct sustainability education.

Abstract:
The predominant model of sustainable architecture is based on a sharp differentiation between technical and social realms that tends to situate architectural design practice in an ambiguous and marginalised position. Sustainable architecture as a whole has come to be dominated by a focus on engineering design with a related emphasis on energy efficiency and climate-change strategies that seek to improve the economic performance of buildings whilst providing little or no consideration of the wider contexts of architectural design and production. This paper argues for an expanded understanding of sustainable design and draws on ideas developed within the Philosophy of Technology to point to the broader cultural values and practices that surround particular design choices. From this perspective the work of engineers, architects, and other designers of the built environment provide settings upon which the ongoing dramas of political action are mounted.Through analysis of ‘live’ student design-build projects, the paper explores three distinct conceptualisations of sustainable design practice in which buildings are interpreted as physical manifestations of differentiated frames of design thinking that emphasise either de-contextualised, context-bound or re-contextualising design processes. Although these apparently distinct practices can be analytically differentiated, it is argued that the realisation of sustainable design practices inevitably involves a seamless interaction and interchange between the differentiated dimensions. The conclusion draws on the work of Andrew Feenberg to conceptualise sustainable design as a concrete practice whereby abstract technical concerns and social considerations seamlessly converge to produce artefacts that fit specific contexts.

Abstract:
This study explores how Libyan building construction incorporates environmental design principles for energy efficiency and sustainability. Libya struggles with sustainable development due to its fossil fuel dependence, water scarcity, and extreme weather patterns. Traditional Libyan architecture, such as that found in Ghadames, has used passive cooling and sustainable design, but modern construction relies on energy-intensive mechanical systems, increasing consumption and environmental impact. This research examines architectural methods to improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and building sustainability in Libya's hot and arid climate. The methodology consists of a comprehensive literature review and an analysis of two case studies: traditional dwellings in Ghadames and a sustainable international building in Saudi Arabia selected for its similar climate to Libya. The case studies were assessed based on energy usage, thermal performance, and sustainability. The findings indicate that traditional architecture in Ghadames, with its passive cooling techniques, thick walls, and use of locally available materials, provides superior thermal comfort and energy efficiency compared to modern buildings. The international case study demonstrates how renewable energy systems and advanced sustainable design techniques can be integrated to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. The study emphasizes the advantages of adopting sustainable building design practices in Libya. Embracing sustainable practices not only conserves energy and reduces carbon emissions, but also improves occupant comfort and supports sustainable development. The research highlights the need for modern Libyan architecture to incorporate traditional design principles into contemporary technologies to address environmental challenges effectively.
