We thought sustainable is a system before that maintain the building by the sustainable factor. Moreover, the research developed variously integrated technology-driven that proven that building consumption was dramatically reduced. But they were unexpectedly expensive somehow to be adapted, especially in a developing country like Indonesia. Then I tried to research the more affordable solution […]
In relation to my introduction, I had outlined that my particular interest was in understanding the way architecture can affect perception, specifically towards sustainability. I have been reading and studying a very unique document from the University of Westminster library i.e. the conference proceedings of the Architectural Psychology Conference at the Kingston Polytechnic 1970.

A little while ago I had the pleasure of reading a book named materials for sustainable Cities, whilst reading it I had discovered many ways that we as conscious people could build our buildings using sustainable materials for example wood, rammed earth, hand made bricks, Adobe bricks, bamboo and so on. This sparked an interest […]

It highlights the skill shown by primitive builders in dealing with climatic problems, and their ability to use […]
Exploring more meaningful sustainability through materiality I have had endless conversations – both in practice and education – which reveal an uneasy relationship between architecture and power. Many on both sides of the fence are of the opinion that the architect’s role has been compartmentalised and thus neutered. We have watched the evolution […]
I believe that to explain or try to give my interpretation of sustainable architecture, one must contemplate what would have happened to architecture, to public space, and to its existence, had it not been for the concept of sustainable architecture. it would not have been perceived as an important milestone in our lives. For […]
The New Net Zero by William Maclay and Maclay Architects is a visually appealing and very informational piece of literature about how we have the resources to build a “Net Zero” building or house. Maclay talks about how our current climatic situation is something that could rival eras like the Dark Ages, the Industrial Revolution, […]
