Architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental
impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of
materials, energy, and development space.

6. Towards the end of twentieth century the word sustainable (and
sustainability) entered into the consciousness of architects and
became an essential concern in the discourse of architecture.
Although there is much written about the urgency of taking
sustainability seriously,and much advice about building
techniques to adopt,there was very little which addressed the
interrelated issues of the sociocultural,ethical,professional and
technological complexities of ‘sustainable architecture’.
“It is very important to understand the complexities which are
relatively self-contained and how architects conceptualized
sustainability in the design of houses”.
“Sustainable architecture is a revised conceptualization of
architecture in response to myriad of contemporary concerns
about the effects of human activity”.
“Sustainable architecture is most likely to result from the
inclination of architects to perform beautiful acts”.

8. Sustainable architecture aims at-
 Minimum usages of non-renewable
resources
 Enhancing the natural environment
 Eliminating or minimizing the use of
toxic materials
How should we go for it..?

9. 1. Think Small
PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
THAT CAN BE INCORPORATED IN DESIGNING OF
FILM INSTITUE AND FILM STUDIOS
2. Heat With the Sun
3. Use Renewable Energy
4. Keep Your Cool
5. Conserve Water
6. Use Local Materials
7. Use Natural Materials
8. Save the Forests
10. Build to Last
11. Grow Your Food
12. Store Your Own Food

10. 1. Think Small
The combined problem of
natural resource depletion
and population growth is so
serious that it’s no longer
reasonable for anyone to
use up more than their fair
share of either. Not only
that, but there’s something
special about creating a
home or office that speaks
to the specific needs of your
particular family. Small
homes are more affordable,
use fewer resources, have
less of an environmental
impact, and also require less
energy to heat and cool.

11. 2. Heat With the Sun
Speaking of heating, fossil fuels are on the wane but the sun is still
going strong. Consult your local green building expert for the best
way to orient your home in order to maximize solar gain when
appropriate (and reduce it when there’s too much.) Orientation
combined with a green building material that absorbs the sun’s
energy during the day and then dispatches it slowly at night can
drastically reduce your energy requirement.

12. Theirs may not
be the sexiest
roofs in each
country, but
their energy bills
are smaller, and
their ability to
withstand
municipal price
and supply
fluctuations far
greater than
grid-dependent
folks.
3. Use Renewable Energy
We know this is hard in the Middle East, where solar panels are still
quite expensive, but an investment in the short term will pay off in
the long run. Plus, who says it’s necessary to buy into the most
expensive renewable technology? In Cyprus, Egypt and Israel, lower
income people have been using the sun to heat their water for years.

13. 4. Keep Your Cool
The same principle works for cooling a home, a particular challenge in
the Middle East where there is no shortage of long hot days. Passive
design, digging into the earth, and insulating a home well will work
wonders, as will Islamic design techniques such as the Mashrabiya
screen, which beats the heat at the same time as it promotes natural
ventilation.

14. 5. Conserve Water
There are as many ways to conserve water in your home as there
are reasons to do so – particularly in our dry region. Firm up
faucets, harvest rainwater, recycle gray water, take shorter
showers, and turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Also
consider planting indigenous plants that don’t require a lot of
irrigation, and if you must irrigate, trying using drip irrigation or
other modern developments.

15. 6. Use Local Materials
When you’re building a
home out of materials
harvested in some distant
land, they have to travel a
long way to make it to
your little plot. This
creates an unnecessarily
high carbon footprint and
also reduces the level of
control you have over how
those materials are
harvested. But if you use
local materials, as will be
the case with Gaza’s 20
new Eco-Schools, your
carbon footprint shrinks
considerably and benefits
your local economy.

16. 7. Use Natural Materials
Natural materials not only
have more aesthetic
appeal, at least in our
view, but it turns out that
they are better for our
health. A home that is
built with a porous natural
material such as mud or
stone or lime breaths and
promotes natural
circulation in the home.
Anything else creates a
terribly unhealthy internal
environment. Natural
materials also promote
day lighting and superior
acoustics, whereas all
kinds of interventions are
required in more artificial
surroundings.

17. 8. Save the Forests
Our forests are beautiful and deserve to be protected in their own
right. But they also serve important environmental services –
including sucking the globe’s carbon. With escalating levels of
greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and a bevy of attendant
climatic changes, protecting our trees is more important than
ever. The average timber home uses 100 trees – and that’s not
sustainable at all. Kelly Hart recommends using wood carefully – for
decoration or for roofing – and opting for abundant earthen
materials to build the rest of the home.

18. 9. Recycle Materials
We belong to a throwaway culture – something the earth’s finite
resources simply can’t support. Recycling materials not only gives
new life to something discarded or disused, but also provides an
opportunity to be creative and resourceful. See how old windows have
been given new life is this wonderful design project.

19. 10. Build to Last
We have showcased
several earth architecture
buildings that have lasted
centuries, such as Yemen’s
Manhattan and these
awesome cave homes in
Iran. Despite stringent new
building codes, many
materials used in
contemporary architecture
are designed NOT to last
so that the supplier can
prolong their business
opportunities. This makes
absolutely no sense. Build
to last as much as possible
and save the earth while
you’re at it.

20. 11. Grow Your Food
Growing food at home improves quality control and increases
resilience – both very necessary in our region where food security is
poor and where environmental regulations regarding food quality are
poorly enforced. We have published 7 agricultural solutions that will
save the Middle East. Take a look and be inspired to start growing your
own food immediately!

21. 12. Store Your Own Food
This is something we haven’t
considered in a long while, but
it used to be that most people
built pantries into the earth in
order to keep their food cool
and fresh. As demonstrated in
Palestine’s numerous
geothermal projects, the
earth’s temperature remains
constant even as our
atmosphere warms and cools.
If you use the right building
material, you can build a
wonderful earthen pantry that
will keep most of your food
fresh year ’round. Make sure to
consult a professional until you
get the hang of this.

22. Case studies...

23. INTORDUCTION OF MATI GHAR
 Capturing the concept
of time in all aspects of
design and
construction. The Mati
Ghar is directed not by
engineering
construction or
aesthetic guidelines
alone but is meant to
develop the harmonious
design thought of an
endless space and the
"cosmic dimension of a
temporal reality".

24. VIEW OF MATI GHAR
FRONT LAWN

25. It is composed as three concentric
rings their radii in the proportion of
1:2:3, and with the radial division
of the outermost, middle &
innermost ring into 12,24,36.equal
divisions respectively.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN

26. FRIST FLOOR PLAN

27. The labour intensive construction process encompasses
innovations in material with usage of sundried stabilized
earth blocks as frames and infill and addition of cement to
the soil mix for increased structural strength and water
resistance in the process of avoiding plaster application. The
largest brick dome of its time is constructed only by hand
tools and a central guiding arm of Aluminum in place of an
extensive supporting framework.
BRICK DOME

28. The ventilation system is based on
ancient method of hypocausts owing
to the nature of exhibition interiors
which require controlled light and
sound facilities. This is achieved
through one main centrifugal blower
in a system of underground air
ducts/tunnels while the
superstructure is provided with
exhausts and small windows to
direct the upward air movement

33. MYTH AND DISBELIEVE????

35. Yeang's Vertical Landscaping
Strategies - The Rotating Spiral
 Ken Yeang's practice has always been governed by two principles:
1. The acknowledgement of the scarcity of both natural resources
and time, as well the extensive degradation of natural
environment that cannot continue if future generations are to
have appropriate access to natural resources.
2. The belief that all those concerned with building design can,
with the application of ecological principles, make a significant
contribution towards a sustainable future through 'green'
approach that evolved from a comprehensive method.
 The structural system used in Nara Tower embodied the
fundamental factors of these two principles, taking into
considerations the amount of irreplaceable materials necessary for
building construction while at the same time optimizing the
impact of its eco-friendly design approach through the building
form.

36. THE ROTATING SPIRAL FOR
VERTICAL LANDSCAPING
1. THEORY
For Nara tower design, Yeang
used the same theoretical
ideas from his 1992's
Mesiniaga, where both his
Nara tower and Mesiniaga
contain the principle of "a
vertical spiral of boundless
dimensions".
 Yeang's original sketches
describing the design
principles
of Mesiniaga Menara ( IBM )
green tower.

37.  What Yeang wanted to achieve in applying this approach is the
abundant foliage that assists in cooling the building mass. In theory,
the spiral space configuration allows floors and atrial spaces to have
planted fringes that essentially contribute to the control of air
movement within the overall structure.

38.  An abstract model was done to explore its
functional application:
• An

model of a
rotating
spiral
tower
design
based on
Ken
Yeang's
approach,
along with
the
analysis
relating to
the use of

landscapin
g.
• The elements that are most relevant with the rotating spiral design
include temperature, daylighting, wind velocity and frequency, air
density and humidity.

39. Tokyo Nara Tower
 This conceptual project created for
the World Architecture Exhibition in 1994 by
architect Ken Yeang displays several
benefits of incorporating green areas in
skyscrapers. The Nara Tower is an energy
efficient building that applies concepts of
vertical landscaping mixed with ecodesign.
Besides its innovative look, the spiraling
tower serves as well as holding ground for a
large mass of planting that is used as a
cooling system for the building. The
mechanical systems and the foliage will
work in a symbiotic relationship, where the
hanging gardens, sky courts, terraces and
other green areas will filter and clean the
air, improving interior ventilation, while
robotic arms will maintain the plants.

40.  The maintenance of the vertical
landscaping, as well as the upkeep of
external fixtures, glazing and cladding
panels is ensured by specialised
mechanical devices. These devices,
constructed in the form of multi-purpose
‘robot-arms’ as “cherry-pickers” on
moveable trellises that travel along an
external track that spiral and circulates the
tower.
 •The radial/spiral movement of floor planes
creates a particular built form which
allows:
 -the floors to shade themselves as they
spiral upward.
 -the displaced pattern to more efficiently
exploit the benefits of hanging gardens,
inter-floor bracing and ventilation /cooling
systems.
 -a constantly changing atrial space,
articulated by terraces, internal courts and
private gardens.

41. Things to be incorporated in the
designing of
FILM INSTITUTE AND FILM
STUDIOUS

42. Technology:
Accommodating the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Development:
Making and using technology that meets human needs while taking
into account long and short term consequences for society and the
environment.
Ecologically sustainable
Appropriate
Design process:
1. Understand the needs of the users of the building
2. Look at the capacity of the site and the environment in
supporting those needs
3. Make design decisions and use appropriate technologies to fulfil
the above

PERFORATED BRICK MASONRY
These are high strength hollow bricks with
50-60 percent perforations. These perforations
act as sound and heat insulators and saves
materials.

44.  Techniques like cross-ventilation, which
involves the addition of atriums filled with
greenery in between the floors of tall
buildings, and materials like biodegradable
paint or recycled steel, can be used.
 Meanwhile, specially coated glasses will
soon be able to offer superior heat
management, and advances in roofing
materials will keep occupants at a
comfortable temperature year-round
without requiring significant energy
expenditures.

46. GREEN ROOF

47. What is Green Roofing?
Green roofs are constructed in a
similar way to traditional roofs that
are last longer, better environment
and add value to visual appeal.

48. Benefits of Green Roofing
It reduces the air pollution and controls the green house effect.

49. These are the best insulators to manage the heating and cooling
effects for houses.

50. Green Roof doubles the life of roof material.

52. To overcome the upcoming threats of global warming, the adoption
of green roof technology is a small step to save our planet.

53. TYPE 1: LA MAISON VAGUE
(WAVE HOUSE)

54.  Wave House, was designed by Patrick Nadeau and
features a smorgasbord of plant varieties including
wild flowers, meadow grass, sedums and other
perennials. The house has a sweeping curve similar to
a sine wave which makes it appear more like a hill or
mound. This shape creates a seamless surface of
plants on the green roof but did mean that parts were
extremely steep and required special consideration for
drainage, water retention and soil erosion.

55. TYPE 2: MILL VALLEY CABINS –
SUCCULENT SEDUM ROOF
GARDENS

57. The remarkable roofs of sedum definitely deserve
additional attention in this green roof collection.
There are a wide array of different species of succulent
sedums in this roof that have been arranged in a
banded pattern. This looks very carefully considered but
they are planted randomly over the roof.

58. TYPE 3: ECOSPACE –
SUSTAINABLE, MODULAR GARDEN
STUDIOS
 Ecospace studios have a distinctive modern
style and make extensive use of cedar
cladding, large windows and mostly flat or
mono-pitched roofs. The use of flat roofs on
many of their garden studios also make it
possible to grow a living, mossy surface that
camouflage and require very little
maintenance. However, the great thing about
their modular garden studios is that due to
their relatively small size, their height in
particular, many of them don’t require
planning permission if be used as an
outbuilding to a pre existing property

61. TYPE 4: ECO VILLA CONCEPTS IN
FLAVOURS ORCHARD, CHINA

62.  The Mobius Villa design is a figure 8 shaped
structure which was inspired by the Mobius Strip.
This eco dwelling features a living green roof as
well as solar panels which can provide more energy
than the building would require. The building
contains two enclosed natural environments within
its loops: one plant based and one aquatic, to
accommodate ecological diversity as well as
serving as viewing spectacles for residents.
