PRINCIPLE
• This principle about respect for people

people for people without diminishing the ability
of nature to provide nourishing places for the rest
of the creation and for our own species in the
future.

design is about creating healthy habitats- for us
and the rest of the creation.

6. “THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY IS NOT THE WASTE
OF
NATURAL RESOURCES, THROUGH IT IS
TRAGIC. THE
BIGGEST TRAGEDY IS THE WASTE OF HUMAN
RESOURCES”
7. 2.THE ECOSYSTEM PRINCIPLE
This principle is about respect for place
it has sub principles i.e
Adaption to the local environment.
oSustainable is built on the idea of regionalism, it
honors the difference that exist between places,
both on the macro level, with climate regions, and
on the micro level, with topographical and
biological differences.
8. The philosophy of sustainable design rejects the notion
that “our buildings should look the same and be built the
same in any region regardless of whether we have the
technological know-how and resources to do so”. Indeed,
it demands that our buildings respond to place in
fundamental ways-from the level of the site to that of
climate and bioregion.
9. THIS PRINCIPLE SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO USE THE
LOCAL SOURCES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSES.
