“…The categorization of the generated strategies under the aforementioned concepts results in two distinct paths. The first is a low-impact path with approaches that are engineering-based, resourceefficient, and have an anthropocentric view; the latter path is suggestive of ecological design approaches that aim to improve the environmental quality and minimize environmentally destructive impacts by integrating themselves with living processes [29][30][31][32]. Whether the purpose of the integration is anthropocentric or non-anthropocentric, ecological approaches help strengthen the relationship between humans and nature.…”

“…Green design, sustainable design, and bioclimatic design approaches are part of this path. Whereas sustainable and green designs are recognized as technological approaches which tend to solve complex and integrated technical and environmental problems, bioclimatic design is a low-impact design approach based on the local climate [32].…”

“…Ecological design approaches are either anthropocentric, adopting a passive relationship with nature, or non-anthropocentric, implying an active engagement between humans and nature. Biomimicry and biophilic design are examples of passive connections [31,32]. Biomimicry design is an ecological design approach that seeks solutions to functional challenges faced by the designer by tracing the behavior of the local organism or ecosystem in dealing with such challenges [37].…”

In developing countries where sustainable housing design receives insufficient theoretical and practical efforts, decisions about appropriate sustainable design strategies are often made in ignorance of situational and contextual issues and isolation from local practices. The study attempts to provide a design framework that comprises various design models for sustainable housing, enabling architects worldwide to broaden their sustainability practices in the architectural field. The study employs the grounded theory method to transform theory into viable housing design models for architects in various regions, particularly the Middle East, who will be able to trace the regional models and select design approaches and strategies in response to local situations. The research is divided into three stages. Guy and Farmer’s six logics are linked with methodical sustainable design approaches through comparative analysis to develop design models that will be chased in sustainable housing practices. The models are introduced in the next phase within a design framework and, finally, verified through Middle Eastern practices. The framework, which has been verified by tracking sustainable housing models in the design practices of Middle Eastern countries, can be used by applying the design models individually or by combining more than one model to create more responsive sustainable design practices in the housing field. The novelty of the study is that the developed framework transforms theoretical models into viable options for designers and scholars around the world, as well as enabling architects and developers in Middle Eastern cities to easily and practically trace regional design models and to select appropriate design approaches and strategies in an integrative manner.

“…Currently, there are a variety of concepts that are slowly expanding the anthropocentric concept of sustainable development and proposing future approaches to holistic architecture. Scientific studies (e.g., [20,36,37]) show the ongoing shifts in the sustainability paradigm towards systemic, dynamic, organic, holistic, and non-linear approaches. Emerging concepts of resilient, restorative, regenerative architecture, and others highlight the aspiration to restore the lost connection with the natural world, as well as to develop coexistence between humans and nature in the urban environments of the future.…”

Architecture, as a mean of art and as a factor that physically shapes the environment, undoubtedly serves as a form of expression of ethical attitudes. It combines ethical values and responsibility for solving environmental problems with aesthetic qualities of the built environment. The holistic approach is gaining ground in the paradigm of sustainability, where architectural concepts such as biophilic, biomimetic, resilient, restorative, and others reinforce the idea of coexistence between humans and nature. In the 21st century, sustainability has become a global phenomenon; therefore, contemporary architecture is expected to reflect the idea of sustainability in its expression. This study explores the relationship between ethics and aesthetics in sustainable architecture in practice. Furthermore, this study attempts to illustrate how the architectural expression of certified sustainable buildings in the Baltic Sea region reflects the trends of sustainability within an ethical paradigm. The research question of this study is as follows: what are the prevailing aesthetic trends and are environmental ethical values expressed in the sustainable architecture of the Baltic Sea region? The study of examples of sustainable architecture was carried out by analyzing the three main databases of certified sustainable buildings—Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM). The study found eight predominant groups of aesthetic expressions of sustainable buildings and the absence of a distinctive architectural expression that could be considered as sustainability aesthetics. It can be hypothesized that the lack of aesthetic distinctiveness of certified sustainable buildings could be related to the absence of cultural, aesthetically oriented criteria in building sustainability rating systems.

“…The concept of sustainability, that could be considered as the first intentional paradigm shift in human history [13], is constantly revised and expanded. The trends of thought of the last decades [2,10,13,20] reveal the shifts in sustainability paradigm that go beyond the sustaining status quo towards systemic, dynamic, organic, holistic and non-linear approach [20]. The emerging concepts of restorative, regenerative sustainability [29] illustrate the aspiration to restore the lost connection with the natural world and to move towards harmonious co-existence between humans and nature and human-nature co-creation in the living environments of the future.…”

Growing environmental awareness and emerging design and performance requirements related with the implementation of sustainability goals inevitably have an influence on construction, architecture, urban design and the development of our built environment in general. This influence is reflected both in the increasingly efficient ecological performance of built structures and the growing array of related technologies, and in the aesthetic expression of these environmentally conscious designs. The aesthetic expression of sustainability concept and values is sometimes referred to as sustainability aesthetics. The aim of this research is to develop and test a methodological framework for characterizing the sustainability aesthetics of the built environments. The elaborated methodological framework integrates biophilic design, sustainability aesthetics, regenerative design and genius loci as the most promising approaches, allowing the integration of human and environmental concerns. To test the framework, we selected historic built environments that reflect long-lasting sustainable co-existence between humans and their environment and represent hybrid characteristics of both architectural and urban space. One of the purposes selecting these environments for the case study was to determine the features of an organically evolved sustainability aesthetics that could become a valuable source of inspiration for architectural design and management of the built environments.
