Generation of Sustainable Architecture
– 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)
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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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

Sustainability
What is primary?
What is secondary?
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
