“…In this sense, the coexistence of the micro-biosphere and the human residential environment is essential for the realization of ecological architecture. It is also important to utilize potential natural energy sources and implement efficient resource circulation system in buildings to be self-sufficient, if possible [19,20]. Therefore, design principles from ecological architecture can greatly influence energy properties to acquire natural resources such as those from the soil, water, wind, and sun.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the applicability of feng shui ideas for sustainable space planning and evaluation in the Korean contemporary architecture system. This study compares theories of feng shui and ecological architecture, draws implications in terms of its practicability with an accreditation system, and explores the possibility of replacing elements from ecological architecture with those of feng shui. First, this study analyzed the terrain, climate, and environment by selecting target sites for planning a hanok, the traditional Korean residence, as a suitable location (called myeong-dang). Simulation assessments were then performed with three-dimensional (3D) mapping techniques to derive the scientific basis of the traditional concept considered in the selection of these spots. Our result from the analysis showed that the terrain element played protective roles for the climate of the region as an environmental control system. Therefore, it can be concluded that feng shui thoughts could be applied to a contemporary architecture system.

The demand for office building for the sports branch of martial arts in Indonesia has increasingly risen in line with the rapid development of the international arena. For the administrative region, including the province of East Java, a martial arts head office is essential the administrative duties and management of the sports organisation. A martial arts office is an office to accommodate administrative and management tasks. It also requires facilities for users who mostly have an athletic background and are physically fit and well-being. Therefore, this paper aims to explore and propose architectural designs of martial arts’ administrative office from finding the idea, determining the design’s parameters and concept to formal design transformation. Presenting big ideas by translating the character and value of sport is applied during the design process and considering the green design approach to provide building’s energy-efficient. The result proposes a building design that expresses the dynamicity of sport’s value and characters. The building is also designed by reducing negative impacts on the environment and maximise energy saving.

“…Consequently, following the sustainability measures (environment, social, and economic) [2] and green architecture approach [3] is required to decrease the impacts of materials on the environment and building occupants. Green architecture focuses on the relationship between the building and nature, minimizing environmental impacts, health hazards, and energy and conserving natural resources [4]. In this context, the green building concept involves using eco-friendly and low-impact materials, conserving resources and energy efficiency, and optimizing indoor health for occupants [5].…”

Assessment of Green Building Materials’ Attributes to Achieve Sustainable Building Façades Using AHP

et al. 2021

The need to enhance the performance of building façades and mitigate adverse environmental impacts has promoted the hypothesis of integrating green materials towards sustainable buildings. Façade designers tend to select building materials based on their green characteristics (origin) or green performance; however, this study highlights the importance of integrating both into the decision process. The main objective is to develop a new assessment process for selecting green building façade materials based on green performance and green originality. Furthermore, the evaluation framework considers four green building rating systems as a reference to allocate credits for the relevant criteria. Applying the proposed criteria in this study helps maximize the points for accreditation when incorporating green building materials in building façades. Moreover, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to assign the proposed criteria’s weighting importance based on the four rating systems’ average points. After that, performing sensitivity analysis to identify each criterion’s influence is conducted. The study concluded that involving minimum levels of adverse impacts is the preferable criteria regarding the green origin concept. As for the green performance, promoting the performance of indoor air quality is the most favorable selection criteria.
