Architecture Embraces Sustainability as Core Design Principle
Environmental performance becomes as important as aesthetics in contemporary building design.
Sustainable architecture has evolved from niche concern to mainstream practice.
## Net-Zero Design
New buildings increasingly target net-zero energy performance.
## Material Innovation
Mass timber and low-carbon concrete reduce embodied carbon.
## Adaptive Reuse
Renovating existing buildings conserves embodied carbon.
## Biophilic Design
Integrating nature into buildings improves occupant wellbeing.
