The Relationship Between Architecture and Environment

The document discusses the relationship between architecture and the environment. It states that architects must understand how buildings relate to natural systems and their surroundings in order to design good buildings. Architects need to create environmentally-friendly and green buildings that are adapted to their context. Some factors they must consider include efficiently using resources like energy and water, protecting health, and reducing pollution. Green buildings positively impact the environment by accounting for landscaping and preventing pollution during construction. They also provide benefits like better indoor air quality and increased productivity. In conclusion, the relationship between architecture and the environment is strong - sustainable buildings must consider their environmental impacts and vice versa.

The Relationship between architecture and

environment
You can’t build or design a good building without understanding their relationship with the natural systems
and the surrounding environment.

Architects need to make buildings that are friendly to the environment and more green which can be
adaptable to the surroundings, in other words, they need to create buildings that are energy efficient, like
green buildings or sustainable buildings which are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
environment on human health and nature.
So, they need to take into consideration:

 Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources


 Protecting residents’ health and improving people’s productivity

 Reducing waste, pollution, and environmental degradation

Green buildings (green architecture) are a trend these days for their positive effect on the environment
because they take landscaping into account. Green buildings also managed in the construction process to
make sure that any waterways remain unpolluted with construction by-products.
Green buildings also have benefits that you’ll find luxury, like better indoor air quality. Many studies have
found that they also lend themselves to a better work environment. These benefits which include the use
of natural daylight, big windows, and good indoor air circulation, dramatically increase productivity and as
residential buildings, they have substantial effects on their residents, as well.
Finally, the relationship between architecture and environment is very strong and can’t be denied as we
see to have a sustainable and healthy environment, we have to take good care of the buildings that are
built in it and also to have sustainable buildings we have to take into consideration the environment
surrounds it and its impacts.
