Abstract

The consideration of environmental factors plays a key part in the design of sustainable buildings within their respective contexts. The global community is currently grappling with the adverse impacts of climate change, which can be attributed to the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Architecture is a unique area of study that enables the development of spatial solutions to address human requirements, while also carrying the essential duty of ensuring the creation of a sustainable built environment. Although the inclusion of sustainability in architectural education is widely acknowledged, the majority of curricula lack a comprehensive integration of this topic. In order to conceptualize a sustainable built environment, it is imperative for the architectural curriculum to incorporate a foundational comprehension of the interconnection between sustainability, technology, and design. This chapter analyzes the barriers to sustainable environmental design in architectural education. It also identifies worldwide integration promotion efforts.
