Sustainable Architecture refers to designing and constructing buildings that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their lifecycle. This includes minimizing the negative environmental impact of buildings and maximizing their positive impact. It involves the use of sustainable materials, efficient energy systems, and design strategies that promote the health and well-being of the people who occupy the building. Sustainable architecture also considers the long-term impact of the building on its surrounding environment and seeks to create buildings that are adaptable and resilient over time. The ultimate goal of sustainable architecture is to create a built environment that supports the needs of current and future generations without compromising the natural systems and resources on which they depend.
