For many years as a student at first and later as an architect, I had the opportunity to observe and study on specific areas inside the city of Florence, Italy.
Several interesting elements emerged from that research and also offered me the opportunity to discover ‘hidden’ paths and agendas in the development of special urban fabric; these strong indexical elements enable from time to time architecture to act as an originator of infinite solutions to a variety of public uses and demands.
Ongoing conversions inflicted to buildings for several centuries did not manage to make them loose specific qualities and identities at all.
Entire historical blocks in urban central areas continued to preserve their positive vigour in spite the efforts of being utterly altered by negative synergies, which were solicited by wrong policies and at the wrong times of history. Thus, rundown and abandoned areas had included for centuries these wonderful ‘hidden seeds’ which managed to emerge and recreate lost links; they became regeneration cells and also managed to guarantee further positive sprawl of the entire urban structure.
Architectural complexes managed to offer again new directions for new roles of the historical fabric; it was thought that we had lost them and/or erased from ordinary life in a city by changing their identity and uses. They managed to be finally freed and return to what it was thought to be their primordial destiny dictated by architecture and social synergies.

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) expands and complements the building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. A Green Building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy efficiency, conserves natural resources, generates less waste, and provides healthier space for occupants as compared to a conventional building. Market estimates suggest that India will be adding 11.5 million homes every year thus, making it the world’s third-largest construction market by 2020. With rapid urbanization and strong economic growth, the construction industry is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in India providing employment to nearly 18 million people. This will be beneficial for the people who are really conscious about the environmental impact of the buildings and believe in energy conservation. The economy is the major factor in any type of construction work, especially for residential houses and more specifically when they are situated in the megacity in a developing country like India. There is a need of concentrating on a Green Home, which is one of the most important and one of the discussed topics throughout the globe, in the age of global warming and climate change worldwide. In this situation, some middle way is necessary to be found out, to encourage green construction.

The key goals of green building are to efficiently use energy, water and other resources; improve occupant health; and reduce pollution and degradation. Some benefits include reduced operating costs, improved productivity, and protection of natural environments and human health. While green buildings have advantages, there can also be challenges like higher initial costs, longer construction timelines, and ensuring proper indoor air quality.
Green building refers to environmentally responsible and resource-efficient practices throughout a building's lifecycle from siting to demolition. Green building materials can be reused or recycled, requiring no energy to produce. Surveys show that developed land in the US increased 24% over 10 years, with buildings accounting for 39.4% of energy use and 67.9% of electricity use. Urban runoff from impermeable surfaces pollutes water resources. Good green buildings may cost only slightly more than conventional buildings through integrated design and using green products.
Green building aims to reduce environmental impact through sustainable practices like efficient energy and water use, healthy material selection, and waste reduction. It incorporates passive solar design, renewable energy, and water recycling to lessen resource consumption and promote occupant well-being over the entire building lifecycle from construction to demolition.
Sustainability involves meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainable architecture uses design strategies that minimize buildings' negative environmental impacts through efficient and moderate use of materials, energy, space, and natural ecosystems. As populations increase, high energy and natural resource consumption deplete resources and harm biodiversity. Sustainable development aims to reduce non-renewable resource use, minimize waste, and create healthy environments through strategies like wind and solar power, green building practices that conserve resources and reduce environmental impacts, and efficient structural, energy, water, and material design.

This document discusses green buildings and sustainability. It defines green building as optimizing efficiency in using energy, water and other resources throughout a building's lifecycle. The key principles discussed include sustainable site design, water and energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, material efficiency. Green buildings provide benefits like reduced costs, improved health and productivity. Rating systems like LEED and IGBC are also summarized.
Green buildings are designed to minimize environmental impact and reduce consumption of resources. They use sustainable materials and renewable energy sources to lessen energy usage and protect the environment. Green building techniques include efficient insulation, windows oriented for passive solar heating and cooling, and shading. Following a design process that confirms environmental criteria and develops solutions can help engineers effectively integrate sustainable systems and refine designs to document green materials and systems.
The construction industry has impacted the environment hugely, from the loss of wild habitats to green field projects, insane amounts of energy used at site during the construction phase, to count a few. In fact, the construction industry accounts for an incredible 36% of worldwide energy usage, and 40% of CO2 emissions. Mining for raw materials results in the pollution of water. The manufacture of cement currently resulted in global annual emissions of 2.8 bn tonnes of CO2; if current rates of urbanisation continue, this could rise to over 4 bn tonnes every year. With this as a backdrop, the world is grappling with a pressing need to address concerns be it environmental or climate change. Sustainable construction has emerged as one of the vital solutions. It is more than just a buzzword; it represents a fundamental shift in the way we design, build, and maintain structures while minimizing their environmental impact and maximizing social and economic benefits.
