Sustainable Architecture

open access: yes, 2022
The dimension of sustainability in architecture requires the definition of new design trajectories concerning buildings but also the surrounding environment, reasoning on the entire complex of the architectural and spatial human habitat. Being sustainable means, from one side, meeting our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to ...
