We have been listening to the sustainable architecture and sustainable architecture. There are various certifications that support constructions with different levels, and many projects today receive awards for acquiring a certain degree of sustainability. But are these buildings really being completely sustainable?
We will explain here what are some of the characteristics for a building is genuinely sustainable. So, at the beginning, we will make something clear: perhaps, we are using certain terms, such as SUSTAINABLE. Today architecture cannot be sustainable, rather it must be SUSTAINABLE.
Sustainability and sustainability go hand in hand, Sometimes we use words as synonyms since in broad strokes both seek the same. However, Sustainability takes a step furtherand, while sustainability focuses mainly on an environmental field, this other Take into account economic, social, political and cultural factors.
Sustainable architecture does not focus solely on the construction of the works, Think about the creation, process, experience and deterioration of each project. So not only contemplates materials and construction, but also to users and, when the time comes, their destruction; as well as the waste, both of the materials that it uses and of those that the project generates when completed. It is to consider architecture as a whole, not only as a property.

Sustainable architecture
Without more, we are explaining some of these characteristics that make sustainability possible. We live in times where technology takes leaps day by day, so the building must integrate this technology into the aesthetics and the natural environment in which it is located. You also need to integrate this natural environment to yourself. Nature has to be part of the project and have a certainly efficient space.
