Sustainable design strategy optimizing green architecture path based on sustainability

Blue-green architecture entails buildings that contribute to improving the urban climate through the synergetic combination of water management and vegetation. They are part of an urban blue-green infrastructure network that combines ecosystem services in a multifunctional way. Projects implemented in an interdisciplinary manner create synergies with regard to the combination of water-related and vegetation-related objectives. However, applicable design strategies for this approach are currently lacking in practice. This paper investigates the approach of a blue-green architectural project in Stuttgart (the so called “Impulse Project”) and derives insights for an integrated design strategy. The analysis and transfer of the research is carried out by using the research by design methodology. For this purpose, the interdisciplinary design process is divided into three phases (pre-design, design, post-design) and described in detail. Reflection on the documented design reveals the knowledge gained and enables the transfer of the findings to future projects by means of the integrated design strategy for blue-green architecture.

Recent Developments

Increasingly, architects and engineers are interested in pursuing sustainable design. Yet, they lack sources that summarize best practices. As such, this review paper maps out and examines prominent examples of "sustainable" skyscrapers of varying geographic locations, climates, and socio-cultural contexts. It discusses the design themes and green features of "LEED skyscrapers" and elaborates on recent developments in architecture and engineering. The presented 12 case studies do not intend to evaluate LEED rating systems. Instead, they illustrate how LEED has advanced the green design agenda and encouraged the pursuit of innovative design and engineering solutions. The mapped-out green features in this article should be helpful to all professionals interested in green architecture.

Football Stadium

In determining the design strategy football stadium that has a large scale requires some management that can provide design strategy of football stadium. this large-scale stadium will have an impact on energy, water, sewage, land and comfort and surrounding environment also impacts of. Therefore this football stadium sould be minimize the negative impact on the environment, the application of green architecture was chosen. So the application of the green architecture concept to the football stadium in Sragen district aims to support the green city development program in Sragen regency. The research method that is used is the initial idea of exploration method, searching data and processing data. Design strategy of football stadium in Sragen district with green architecture approach is by using of solar panel as a renewable energy source. The application off windows in football stadium will be provided in some spaces. The implementation of community paths are pedestrian paths, bicycle lanes, access lines for the disabled and motor vehicles. The application of green land amounts about 40% of the total available land and the application of membrane material to provide natural light.
