FIRST GREEN ARCHITECTS

PROBABLY BIRDS ARE THE FIRST ARCHITECTS ON EARTH.

THEIR NESTS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY,HENCE

THE BEST EXAMPLE OF SUSTAINABLE

ARCHITECTURE

GREEN ARCHITECTURE

04/08/2023

WHY DESIGN GREEN?

• BUILDINGS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF POLLUTANTS THAT CAUSE URBAN AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS AND CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE

04/08/2023

ECOLOGICAL BALANCE• RESOURCES OF THIS PLANET ARE NOT

INFINITE. • MISUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL

RESOURCES HAS A BEARING ON THE VERY EXISTENCE OF HUMAN RACE.

• EACH LIVING BEING ON EARTH IS DEPENDANT ON THE REST.

• SINGLE SHARED EXPERIENCE IS OF LIVING ON THE SAME, VERY SMALL EARTH.

• ALTERATIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH CARE AS IT EFFECTS EACH INHABITANT.

04/08/2023

RIGVEDA HYMN• SKY IS LIKE FATHER• EARTH IS LIKE MOTHER• SPACE AS THEIR SON• UNIVERSE CONSISTING THE THREE• IS LIKE A FAMILY• ANY KIND OF DAMAGE DONE TO ANY

ONE OF THE THREE• THROWS THE UNIVERSE OUT OF

BALANCE.

04/08/2023

HISTORY

• TILL 18TH CENTURY, THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND BUILDING SCIENCES WERE PART OF ACCEPTED BELIEFS AND RELIGIOUS PRACTICES AS THE MESSAGES OF RELIGION AND THE STATE WAS COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURE.

04/08/2023

INDIAN SCIENCE

• INDIAN WAY OF LIFE RECOG NIZED AIR, FIRE, ATMOSPHERE, EARTH & WATER AS ‘PANCHABHUTHAS’, WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MAKING LIFE MEANINGFUL. TO KEEP THE PANCHABHUTHAS FREE FROM DETRIMENTAL CHANGES IS AS MUCH ESSENTIAL AS PROTECTING THE RIGHT OF LIFE.

04/08/2023

SYSTEM SUSTAINED

SINCE VEDIC TIMES MAIN MOTTO WAS TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE.

MAIN IDENTIFIED COMPONENTS OF NATURE ARE WORSHIPPED IN OUR RELIGION.

THESE COMPONENTS KEEP ON INTERACTING TO MAINTAIN MUTUAL BALANCE –ECOLOGICAL BALANCE

THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE SUSTAINS MANKIND

04/08/2023

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

AS SCIENCE PROGRESSED IN, THE BELIEFS WERE FREED FROM RELIGION & WERE BASED ON THE REASON AND SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATIONS.

04/08/2023

PRESENT SCENERIO

A LOT OF BASIC PRINCIPLES WERE

• FORGOTTEN & IGNORED DURING THIS TRANSITION

FROM RELIGION TO SCIENCES OR

• THE TRANSITION FROM FAITH TO REASON.

04/08/2023

THE WAY OUT

• AS WE GAIN MORE POWER & FREEDOM DUE TO ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCES,IT BECOMES OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REINFORCE THE BASIC PRINCIPLES & IF THEY ARE LOST, RE-ESTABLISH THEM ON THE BASIS OF SCIENCE & REASON WHICH WERE EARLIER BASED ON THE FAITH & RELIGION.

SUSTAINABILITY

• DEVELOPMENT WHICH MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ABILITY OF FUTURE GENERATION TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.

• LEAVE THE PLACE IN THE BETTER CONDITION THAN WHEN YOU OCCUPIED IT.

04/08/2023

SUSTAINABILITY IS CONTINUED

ABILITY OF A SOCIETY,

AN ECOSYSTEM, OR ANY SUCH

INTERACTIVE SYSTEM TO FUNCTION WITHOUT EXHAUSTING KEY RESOURCE AND

WITHOUT ADVERSELY

AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT.

04/08/2023

A FEW BASIC TRUTHS:

• WE NEED A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR SURVIVAL

As a result of neglecting

environmental consequences of our actions, we find many

serious environmental

problems.

If we want to have

resources to use in future, and ensure a

high quality of life, we must

start considering the broader

context in our designs and

choices.WE ARE PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT, AND NOT SEPARATE FROM IT

BIO-CLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE• USING

ENVIRONMENTALLY AND CLIMATICALLY SENSITIVE FORMS & MEANS OF CONSTRUCTION.

• ALTHOUGH SUCH APPROACH HAS HIGHER START-UP COSTS, IT PRODUCES LOWER LIFE-CYCLE ENERGY COSTS & HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT.

04/08/2023

SOLAR-PASSIVE ARCHITECTURE

• ENERGY CONSCIOUS DESIGN THROUGH ‘PASSIVE MEANS’ IS ENERGY COLLECTION, THROUGH NATURAL MEANS, USE OF DAYLIGHT PASSIVE HEATING & COOLING.

CREATING STABLE & COMFORTABLE THERMAL CONDITIONS FOR THE OCCUPANTS.

04/08/2023

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BIO-CLIMATIC AND ECOLOGICAL DESIGN

• Bio-Climatic is the passive low-energy design approach using energies of the climate to create comfort conditions.

• Bio-Climatic design is not ecological design in its entirety, but an intermediate stage.

• Ecological Design is about interconnected-ness & inter-dependencies in the biosphere &its ecosystem.

04/08/2023

GREEN ARCHITECTURE• With the application of

ecological principles, make a significant contribution towards a sustainable future.

Green architecture is designed, built, renovated, operated or reused in an ecological and resource –efficient manner.

04/08/2023

GREEN BUILDINGS

• SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDINGS

04/08/2023

GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL• DEVELOPED BY U.S GREEN BUILDING

COUNCIL (USGBC) IN 1984.• IT PROVIDES STANDARDS FOR

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION.

• A PERFORMANCE ORIENTED SYSTEM• POINTS ARE EARNED FOR

SATISFYING PERFORMANCE CRITERIA.

04/08/2023

ADVANTAGES

• MORE THAN 40% REDUCTION IN POTABLE WATER CONSUMPTION.

• 30% REDUCTION IN OVERALL ENERGY CONSUMPTION.

• ENHANCES OCCUPANTS COMFORT.• REDUCES OPERATING COSTS.• POTENTIALLY INCREASES OCCUPANT

PRODUCTIVITY.

04/08/2023

INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (2003)

o WORLD HAS RECOGNIZED OUR AGE OLD GREEN PRINCIPLES.

(AGAIN EARTH-WORM IS IMPLANTED TO THE AGRICULTURAL FIELDS.)

WHY SHOULD WE FORGET THEM? THE IGBC’S PURPOSE IS TO:oINTEGRATE BUILDING INDUSTRY

SECTORS oLEAD MARKET TRANSFORMATIONoEDUCATE OWNERS AND

PRACTIONERS

04/08/2023

ARCHITECT’S ROLE• ARCHITECTS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE

DIFFERENCE, THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN JUST ARRANGING MATERIALS AND PUTTING LIFE INTO THE PIECE OF ART.

• IT SHOULD TOUCH CONSUMER’S HEART.• CONSUMER IS NOT MOVED MEANS,

ARCHITECTS DON’T SHARE COMMON BASE WITH COMMON MAN.

• GREEN DIMENSION RECOGNIZES A COMMON BASE BETWEEN ALL CONCERNED.

04/08/2023

ARCHITECTURE

• ARCHITECTURE IS ONE OF THE MOST DEPENDABLE REFLECTIONS OF A CIVILIZATION’S PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION.

• ARCHITECTURE HAS THE QUALITY WHICH ALLOWS IT TO RISE ABOVE ORDINARY BUILDING.

THE 5 ELEMENTS CONSTITUTING US

GREEN PRINCIPLES• TO DEMONSTRATE

A GREEN ARCHITECTURE, IT IS NECESSARY TO FRAGMENT THE HOLISTIC GREEN APPROACH.

• THERE ARE 6 PRINCIPLES THAT COULD BUILD INTO A GREEN ARCHITECTURE.

04/08/2023

DESIGN IN ACTIONPRINCIPLE 1: CONSERVING

ENERGY

PRINCIPLE 2: WORKING WITH CLIMATE

PRINCIPLE 3:MINIMIZING NEW RESOURCES

04/08/2023

DESIGN IN ACTION

PRINCIPLE 4: RESPECT FOR USERS

PRINCIPLE 5: RESPECT FOR SITE

PRINCIPLE 6: HOLISM

04/08/2023

1. CONSERVING ENERGY

• Architecture should be brought to existence so as to minimize the need for fossil fuels to run it.

• Past societies accepted this necessity.

• Recent proliferation of materials & technologies have lost the basis.

• Construction of buildings should be for mutual benefits.

04/08/2023

2. WORKING WITH CLIMATE

• BUILDING FORM & THE DISPOSITION OF BUILDING ELEMENTS

• CAN ALTER INTERNAL COMFORT CONDITIONS,

REDUCTION OF FOSSIL FUEL DEMANDS THROUGH THE USE OF INSULATION IN THE BUILDING FABRIC.

04/08/2023

3.MINIMIZING NEW RESOURCES

• There are not sufficient resources in the world for the built environment to be constructed , a new for each generation.

• A building should be designed so as to minimize the use of new resources & at the end of its useful life, to form the resources for other Architecture

04/08/2023

4.RESPECT FOR USERS• RESPECT FOR ALL

RESOURCES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO MAKING A BUILDING WILL NOT EXCLUDE HUMAN BEINGS.

• MATERIAL & PROCESS SHOULD BE LITTLE POLLUTING & DANGEROUS TO INDIVIDUAL WORKER OR THE USER.

04/08/2023

5.RESPECT FOR SITE• A BUILDING WILL

‘TOUCH-THIS-EARTH LIGHTLY’.

• AN ATTITUDE TO THE INTERACTION OF A BUILDING AND ITS SITE THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO A GREEN APPROACH.

04/08/2023

6.HOLISM• ALL THE GREEN

PRINCIPLES, ACCORDING TO PREVAILING CONDITIONS

NEED TO BE EMBODIED IN A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO

THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.

04/08/2023

INCREASED AIR POLLUTION - chemicals and gases

EFFECTS ON PUBLIC HEALTH - we all need clean air and water, good food

INCREASED SOIL CONTAMINATION - chemicals, dirty water, loss of nutrients

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS - global warming and climate change

DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES - forests, water, minerals, soil

INCREASED WATER POLLUTION - raw sewage rubbish chemicals

PRODUCTION OF WASTE - rubbish, materials, chemicals, etc

GREEN architecturelooks to find new ways to meet our needs without creating these impacts

• What are the impacts of unsustainable design and

building practices ?

04/08/2023

ENERGY SUPPLY

It is not our ‘needs’ relating to the built environment that cause environmental problems – rather it is the way we choose to meet them.
