jailcd2020030: Critical Analysis on the History of Sustainable Architecture

Abstract

The paper will be analyzing and discussing the development of sustainable architecture throughout the world, separated by climate zones, from 1900 to the present day, separated by periods determined by the world's state, and draw conclusion from the data about the most impactful elements in the history of sustainable architecture, and how can we use that knowledge to jumpstart sustainable development in countries that hasn't been sustainable yet. The paper will be using quantitative data to form the timeline graph, while using qualitative method to do literature review on the subject. The analysis will be done on the timeline graph, analyzing which elements caused the biggest domino effects, and why is that the case. The paper found that the most influence a human can do in jumpstarting the sustainable development is through literature and research that highlights plainly and clearly the damage human caused to the earth, the future humanity will have if changes is not made, and the instructions that regardless of the context can be followed. However, world changing events are more important in the whole scheme of thing, and for modern human, a more contextual and local behavioral changes might be more effective in achieving sustainability.
