Sustainable Architecture and Urban Design Principles
Discussion Covers
• Generation of Sustainable Architecture
• Fabrication of Sustainable Architecture
• Perception of Sustainable Architecture
• Projects-Residential-Education-Civic -Urban Design
Generation of Sustainable Architecture
1. Achieving a total understanding of the context
– Politically (the intention of architecture: appropriate moral stance towards the society, sense of ownership, sense of development/innovation, capacity building to locals, cultural specific, contextual sensitivity)
– Socially –culturally and Spatially (particular lifestyle, symbolic cultural elements and use of spaces for all needs)
– Economically (local resources accessibility, possible income generation for the client, employment generation for locals and use of appropriate technology, provide options of technology use)
– Climatically (the orientation of the wind for cross ventilation and the sun)
2. Taking advantage of inherited qualities in the context.
- Maximize use of passive energy- Shading by trees- water resources- Existing infrastructure available
3. Achieving a total understanding of functional requirement of the client and the stakeholders
4. Designing for other potentials through total integration and strong spatial functional relationships between elements
Program distribution relies on a total integration and strong spatial functional relationships (functional adjacencies and flexibility) between architecture, landscape, infrastructure and the interior of buildings, the new insertions as an automatic self adaptive system negotiating the needs against time and day to day existence
Generation of Sustainable Architecture
Intensive day to day existence mapping
Fabrication of Sustainable Architecture
• Maximizing the use of locally accessible resources (technology, materials and human) Timbers, hollow bricks, Bebak and so on.
• Introducing new technology and synthesize with local construction technique. Plasterboard finishing, suspension ceiling system, colorbond & trim deck roofing. Insulation for both noise and heat.
• Layers of skins composed of materials and landscape
• Roof ventilation for evacuating hot air trapped in between roof and ceiling.
• Using appropriate technology such as water tank; underground water; louvers, and screening devices, composting toilet.
• Maximizing the use of Recycle Materials
Tan Hock Beng in Bay (2001)“Argued for a need to evoke traditions in the tropical Asian architecture and proposed that there is an authenticway of doing tradition-based to ensure new production of rich tropical architecture for this region.He calls for a true understanding of traditional large pitch roof form, planning for cross ventilation, in betweenrealms and courtyard, traditional opening, tropical materials, water & landscape & the appropriate applicationof such elements so as to ensure the integration with nature and a poetic expression of tradition.”

Fabrication of Sustainable Architecture
Perception of Sustainable Architecture
• Generous is character rather than just metaphorical, monumental and symbolic representation • Interior of spaces “inside feels like outside”• Definition of spaces are flexible and multifunctional programmatically in response to situational
needs.• The foreground and the background is totally integrated (landscape, architecture, infrastructure,
interior spaces)• Minimum infrastructure but maximum amenities
Environmentalist Donald Watson in Bay (2001):“5 Metaphors for tropical architecture:
1. Natural heat exchanger2. Natural Light diffuser3. Micro-Climate4. Biological System5. Ecological Niche

Sustainability
What is primary? What is secondary?
Rationality comes first and intuition comes later
Generous characteristics come first rather than monumentality or metaphor or representation
Collective benefits rather than individual benefits
Minimal infrastructure maximum amenities rather than maximum infrastructure maximum amenities
Total integration between elements, functions and needs rather than separation
Taking advantage of inherited qualities rather than all brand new or introduced quality
