Six Points of Resistence for a Renewable Energy Based Architecture – A Case Study

Abstract:

Contemporary architecture is more often thought about in the terms of self-sustainability and price efficiency. Choice of materials and the overall design including the building structure and the enclosures, its energy systems, the reuse of resources and the minimum waste production are discussed all over the world. Implementing buildings in natural sites or in sub-urban communities that are not connected to the usual urban facilities is always a challenge if we intend to use sustainable strategies. Our approach describes a case study of a design strategy based on a few general principles, crucial in optimizing material and energy consumption and waste and emissions reduction for a new construction. We will follow the interdisciplinary approach of the design process analyzing how each step taken to a certain direction affects the entire planning stage, influencing also the constructive systems. Also we will show how every used element influences the processes of the building with certain constraints for the architectural approach, especially in terms of functional and aesthetic valences.
