Notes from article (summarized in YOUR OWN WORDS):
 The sustaiable buildings or green buildings are
strategically made to avoid as much damage to
the environment as possible.
 It requires all types of environmental perspectives
and visions including image of space, technology
and building image.
 When it comes to building designs the main focus
is the issue of efficienty that connect back
especially to global concerns were energy
efficienty is prioritized.
 The role of sustainable architecure is not only yhe
improvement of the environmental performance,
as it is only an aproach to the real environmental
problems.
 The are different logics to eco-architecture, such
as techinc, centric, aesthetic, cultural, medical,
and social.
 A study was made with different controlled groups
where they tested how different both architectural
and interior designs affected peoples behavior.
 Architecture these days is about finding ways with
technology to help solve extensive social
problems.
 It also contributes to environmental and social
well-being.
 Studying human behavior helps understand the
specific needs they might have.
 Architecture can include sustainabillity science as

review, an analysis and some empirical lessons.

they can be mixed to create something new and
useful for everyone.
 Sustainability is about meeting human needs while
taking the global care into consideration.
 Sustainability science must include different
diciplines, philosophies of science and
methodologies. And come up together to make a
transition of societal structures towards
sustainability.
 Sustainability is one of the remaining hopes to
save and support the world.
 A study shown in this article indicates some of the
most relevant social behavioral issues.
 Most noticed issues were: territorial confusion
which basically means the interference becaus eof
different taks made in the same space.
 The lack of privacy is also an important factor
when it comes to designing.
 The solutions given for this were to use more
modern furniture, different conference areas(each
one for every different activity done)
 Furniture specific accomodations influence in
human behabiour as well as it can be what
expresses their adaptation.
 Solar panels have become a big functional energy
providers nowadays.
 Many other natural renewable energy sources
exist today, such as wind, flowing water, biomass,
hydrogen gas, and geothermal heat.
 Solar energy can be used to heat up buildings in 2
ways, passive and active heating systems.
 A passive solar design can be critical for
household energy, as it controls temperatures for

the entire year.
 The Government makes economical strategies to
ensure both economical and environmental
benefits. This includes increasing the market of
solar PV (photovoltaic) to developing countries.
 Some functional produts for sustainable 3D
printing technologies are: plastics, metals,
ceramics and even sand.
 3D printing parts to generate a new product
(houses) out of other products was created in
China.
 Other developed countries like Dubai have used
this technology.
 The BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the
digital representation of a product which gets
studied along its cycle of usage and it’s
performance and efficiency.
 The industry has been trying to increase the
productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality
and sustainability.
 Understanding the essence of architecture makes
it easier to work and know what to look for.
 Architecture’s style is based on the art expression.
which has had different styles through different
history periods.
 The style has always been rules by the Law of
Development. So apparently Architecture’s
evolution does depend on the development of
other important society structures such as politics,
religion, and economics.
 There must be a balance between both art and
nature. The Laws of natural selection and survival
of the fittest have formed the architetural styles to

have different successful forms.
 As humans we have the responsibility to
contribute to the environment, afterall it is where
we live.
 Implementations of mechanical climate systems
are a must for modern architecture.
 Air-conditioning has made a bad relation with the
natural climatic environment as they contribute to
carbon-dioxide emissions, thus increases
problems relating to global warming.
 Renewable energy is the path to a more
sustainable world. The more homes/buildings that
include this technology the better.
 Bulding concepts must work along with energy
strategies to maximize a bulding’s usage.
 Space is the most important thing to understand
when it comes to Architecture or Interior design
because you have to know exactly how to use it,
find it a purpose, and make it efficient.
 Do not only use the ground, be creative and use
the roof aswell (hanging things) challenge gravity.
 Physical and radiant space are interconnected.
 Space is determined by the relation of ambiance
of objects and the observant. This makes it easier
to know peoples reactions/emotions in accordance
to the space they’re in.
