Sustainable Modern Architecture

Sustainable modern architecture aims to minimize environmental impact through efficient use of materials, energy, and space. It considers issues like water and energy conservation, use of sustainable materials, and reducing waste. Examples include buildings that use solar panels, green roofs, rainwater harvesting, and geothermal heating to lessen their environmental footprint. Sustainable design approaches include conserving resources through techniques like energy and water efficiency, employing life cycle considerations, and prioritizing human comfort.

SUSTAINABLE MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Presentation By: Reyes, Michael Jude G.


WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE MODERN ARCHITECTURE ?

Sustainability - Meeting the needs of the present without


compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.

Sustainable Design - Reduces the negative impact on


the environment and human health, thus improving the
performance during a building’s life cycle. Careful
consideration is given to water, energy, building materials,
and solid waste.
Sustainable Architecture - is architecture that seeks to minimize
the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and
moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and
ecological conservation in the design of the built environment

NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE:


Architecture is an essential arena for sustainable
innovation.

Our homes are one of the most important assets of our


lives. Our world needs help gaining popularity on that list.
With the help of sustainable architecture , a green design
can successfully meld beauty and functionality together to
save our planet from us.
Increase of population day by day .
People migrating from rural to urban with hope.
Depletion of natural resources.
High energy and natural resources are consumed due to
huge population.
Effect on bio diversity.
METHODS ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DESIGN:

ECONOMY OF RESOURCES
• Energy Conservation
• Water Conservation
• Materials Conservation

LIFE CYCLE DESIGN


• Pre-Building Phase
• Building Phase
• Post-Building Phase

HUMANE DESIGN
• Preservation For Natural Conditions
• Urban Design And Site Planning
• Design For Human Comfort

ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE:

1. Green roof:
A green roof can lower the temperature in your house,
improve local air quality and help add green space in urban
areas where concrete is the major material.
Green roofs can be as simple as a couple of types of
ground cover or include a beautiful mix of moss, succulents,
ground cover, and even herbs and plants.

2. Solar Panels:
Solar panels are an excellent way to save energy and
reduce energy bills.
Solar shingles are a bit pricier to install than traditional
solar panels, since they not only help power the building,
but they're actually roof shingles.

3. Cob houses:
Cob is an ancient building material that's basically wet
earth and straw mixed together and rolled into loaf-sized
pieces or cobs. The mixture is very similar to clay, and what
makes cob houses unique and beautiful is the organic
shape.
4. Rainwater harvesting:
The basic idea behind a rainwater harvesting system is
to capture water to irrigate your garden and sometimes to
use in the home.
To install any sort of rainwater harvesting system, it's
important to check local laws first. Some areas don't allow
any rainwater harvesting.

5. Shipping container buildings:


Like with cob houses, shipping container buildings
address the high impact associated with traditional
building materials.
Instead of using new materials that have to be
manufactured, shipping container homes reclaim old
shipping crates and use them to create prefabricated
structures. Shipping crates can be stacked vertically or
lined up side-by-side to create residential or commercial
buildings.
