Sustainable is the New Ground
Sustainable architecture is referred to as green architecture or environmental architecture. It forces architects to adapt by creating balanced designs and use available technologies to ensure that structures generate minimal harmful effects to the ecosystem and the communities.

Why Sustainability is Necessary
Designing a building’s form and appearance can no longer be carried out in isolation. Building services, fabric and controlled fittings are now all intrinsically linked. A delicate balance now needs to be made between a building’s form, function and interactions with its surrounding environment to be considered sustainable development.

Sustainable Architecture
There are several ways and means that have to be considered when designing a sustainable building which include materials, energy, resources, space planning, weather, and many other factors. It is a detail-oriented practice that requires experts who are in touch with the latest methodologies and techniques that are proven to be effective and cost-efficient at the same time.

Challenges
There are also challenges that may hinder the advancement of sustainable architecture and one of the biggest obstacles is monetary cost. While a sustainable structure might save you more money in the long-term, there is still the common belief that sustainable materials and methods are way more expensive than traditional resources.
