Sustainable+Design

The concept of sustainability in architecture is given by the initiative to adapt the buildings by using innovative materials and systems that reduce the impact on the environment.

We can then relate to the architecture with the concept of sustainability through the use of technology systems that improve the condition of the environment and allow a much smaller impact on this.

Thus we can see in the design of a building energy collection systems serving the building and in some cases collect much needed electricity thereby helping to reduce global consumption. In the same way it can happen with the collection of rainwater, in many cases may serve for irrigation systems , sewage drains , etc. thereby reduces the use of global water and somehow helps the ecology of planet. It also happens with the materials, which can be recycled, can come from other structures like this is that it is the least possible waste of time to build.

The principles of sustainable design is that the building is maintained by itself, be selft-sufficient and is supplied with the most resources in this way does contribute to the enviroment.
