Statements for Design
- Sustainable Construction has become very complicated
compared to ten years ago
- Priorities have to be different per country / region >
CIB A21 for Developing Countries
- Not only technical and ecological, but also social and
economic sustainability is needed
- Not only design and materials related aspects are to be
emphasized, but also issues like urban planning and management
And what about the Architect?
- Designing buildings with less energy consumption and
environmental impact is "easy".
- In design a synthesis is to be achieved of technical,
social, economic and ecological sustainability
- Integration for Sustainability is required between
designing: materials and components, building and the micro built
environment and urban planning and management
- If the architect is to be the overall synthesizer and
integrator for Sustainability the average architectural education requires a
substantial upgrade
