  1. The sustainable architecture not only attempts to resolve the problems of design of the buildings, but seeks to minimize the impact that the construction will have on the environment and its inhabitants, it is important because the world is in environmental crisis, and we must take care and make use of renewable raw materials with which we have and care for them.
    We as architects we need to make designs that do not harm the environment, we need to take into account these aspects already that we must take care of it, without fail to meet the needs of the subject. :D

  2. The sustainable architecture is the one that makes research of the good use of natural sources, as well as building systems, which they have to minimize environmental impact on the place they are built, without forget the people and the existing constructions., but also taking on account the climate conditions, the moderation on the materials use, the reduction on the energy used of the requirements of the human comfort. It is important to understand the goal of the architecture sustainable.
    The sustainable architecture is a way to do architecture in which you have to take in mind many things for the design. The sustainable architecture has to appropriate the general architecture, not only keep the need of the inhabitants, but also to have a good trait with the context.
    I think that the sustainable architecture is the architecture of the future.

  3. In my opinion the architecture sustentable improves the efficiency of the use of materials in the construction, using materials renewable that do not contaminate so much the environment. This architecture helps not to damage so much the environment. this architecture will help to obtain benefits in shortly and long term, since it will help to have an environmental balanze.

  7. As finding all kind comments about activity 2 the sustainable architecture is an ecological way architecture that makes use of natural resources and building systems that reduce the environmental impact of buildings on the environment and it's inhabitants without leaving aside the design of the building to be constructed.
    Today the environment is severely affected why sustainable architecture is a breakthrough to the present day

  9. Sustainable architecture is a good option for reducing the impact of building in this time, understand 3 concepts basics: social, economic and the most important environment, this type of architecture use ecological materials along that seeks to minimize the negative impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials,energy and development space,the energy renewable, and so design a green spaces.

  10. Sustainable architecture is a breakthrough, because it is a green architecture which is based on the proper use of natural resources and improve the constructive system without damaging the environment, minimizing the environmental impact in nature, it is an architecture that we really need to improve the environment and its habitants.

    It is one of the biggest things we have to take care today as we are at a time where the planet needs us to be conscious, and it will also benefit us.

  11. Well… the sustainable architecture investigates about of the good use of natural resources and constructive systems with the purpose to reduce the damage in our environment on the place they are built, it's based in concepts like: social, economic and natural environment … also, we can say that this architecture is the architecture of the present and the future.

    In this type of architecture is more important the optimal study of the construction materials that may cause the least environmental impact and the needs of the present must be satisfied without compromise to the future generations.

  12. in my opinion, sustainable architecture is the architecture of the future because we are currently observing many climatic consequences that we as future architects have an obligation to improve the methods of construction emplementados materials.

    responsibility not only to create a living space, but also be aware with the world around us.

  13. Sustainable architecture is essential now because our planet is severely damaged due to pollution and sustainable architecture helps avoid contamination within the aspect of construction and also benefits the economic savings. But their role is to look after our context and keep it for future generations.

  14. Energy efficiency is one of the main goals of sustainable architecture, but not the only. The architects use various techniques to reduce the energy needs of buildings through energy savings and increase their ability to capture the sun's energy or to generate its own energy.
    These sustainable design strategies include the active and passive solar heating, solar water heating active or passive solar electric generation, accumulation table or geothermal heating, and more recently in buildings incorporating wind generators.

  15. The architecture sustentable is the architecture of the future, it is a question of the balance that exists between a species with the resources of the environment. This type of architecture tries to optimize the natural resources with constructive methods that minimize the environmental impact, so that our needs are covered but without damaging the future aptitudes of the following generations to satisfy their own needs.

  16. Sustainable architecture is an architecture that helps the environment as it uses forms of building materials and how buildings will reduce impacts on the environment considering the climate and the environment ecositema to be built, also the reduction of energy to various factors such as lighting, heating, etc. replacing it with renewable energy sources.

  17. Sustainable architecture is of high importance today because it takes care of the environment and meet the needs of a person. architecture such that the design looks much as vallan construction in harmony with the environment around them making the maximum natural resources.

  18. Sustainable architecture is one that investigates and cares for the use of natural resources in order to reduce the impacts it has on all their constructions, it is believed that this architecture is the architecture of the future.

    This architecture is responsible to use those materials that do not affect the environment and using only what is necessary, so long as they comply with the needs of the people.

  19. In few words, the sustainable architecture means doing an kind of architecture which we as an architects will design buildings in which we have to use certain elements in order to create architecture that does not harm our environment, this can be got with the proper use to the materials.

  20. Sustainable architecture whose main purpose is to maintain a balance between the building with the environment. So that they can meet user's requirements without affecting the needs of new generations. They take full advantage of natural resources without damaging them, so that minimize environmental impact. There must be an energy saving, use of non toxic, renewable materials, efficient accessories to minimize or use the correct amount of water, building material recyclable and durable, materials in the region and use of natural light . Minimizing environmental damage and creating spaces worthy of living.

  21. If we talk about sustainable architecture, we consider that this meets the needs of present generations without compromising future generations. Could be defined by three concepts that are social, economic and environmental.
    Also the use of ecological materials is a way to use natural materials without harming the environment. Optimize resources and building systems and that the results in the least environmental impact. without leaving behind weather conditions, moderation in the use of materials, reduced energy use and compliance with the requirements of human comfort.

  22. The majority of architects we agree that sustainable architecture is one that should help the environment to reduce the negative impact on the planet caused by humans and it inhabits spaces.

    To reduce the impact there are a lot of solutions like renewable energy use in buildings, to avoid contamination with energies that harm our planet, among other solutions that arise every day.

    Sustainable architecture must not only be a more architectural style, should be the basis to form the architects of the present and the future, in order to lessen the damage done to our planet.

  23. The goal of sustainable architecture is to reduce the strong impact that is done by destroying natural large areas used for construction, energy and hydro consumption, and air alternation. This movement goes to the fact that the uncontrolled use of natural resources will become a serious threat to our life in the future. The initiative calls for an integrated and synergistic design.

  24. For that the architecture arrive at point of sustainable, spend much time, before don't have the same tecnology than today.

    This type of architecture reduce the cost of resources in the home, and optimize the use energy into building, generating a better sustainability reusing and transforming the resources.

  25. First, we need know what is sustainable development: "Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Is the same whit the sustainable architecture, help the environment to reduce the negative impact on the planet caused by humans improving the construction methods using eco architecture.
