The document summarizes the key concepts of sustainable building design and transforming buildings over multiple life cycles. It discusses 3 main points: 1. The need to design buildings as living systems that can adapt to changing needs through transformations, rather than being demolished, to reduce environmental impacts. 2. The concept of buildings having different parts and materials with varying lifespans, and the consequences this has for designing flexible, transformable structures. 3. The potential for buildings to be reused by extracting materials and components to be used in new constructions, creating a circular flow of resources.

10. -Why not design buildings that can be utilized as a recourse pool for a new construction?
-Why not consider demolition as a design error?
-Why not design buildings as trasnformable monuments and systems that can serve
multiple purposes?
The design of sustainable building runs the danger of being carried out on an
ad hoc basis without transformation aspects of the building structure being an
integral part of the design process.
Future value of buildings?

Design building as a flower that make people happy,
that is source of inspiration, curiosity, positive feeling and expression of love,
Flower that is self regulated and adjustable to the climate,
and extends its life through future flowers ...
Story behind / BUILDINGS AS FLOWERS

39. Sustainable future:
Technology is only a tool to provide better quality of life.
Psychological human needs often overrule physical once.
Design is the place where purpose and meaning revive the matter.
This makes design become fundamental to our physical and psychological
comfort and key to sustainable wellbeing.
