Citiesreview 10: Sustainability and Cultural Respect in Architecture

Citiesreview 10: Sustainability and Cultural Respect in Architecture examines how sustainability and cultural respect can be integrated into architectural design to address environmental challenges and ensure long-term urban resilience. It highlights key principles such as passive design, adaptive architecture, and environmentally responsible material selection.

Written by Anisa Ayusta, Ishaq Rochman, Rachmatika Fitri Insani, and Tri Saptiwi, the article finds that adaptive landscape and architectural approaches play a critical role in creating resilient and sustainable built environments. Strategies such as mixed-use adaptive landscapes, green roofs, and resource-efficient systems contribute to reducing carbon emissions, mitigating urban heat island effects, and improving overall environmental quality. These approaches also enhance functional efficiency, reduce operational costs, and create more livable spaces that are environmentally responsible, culturally meaningful, and capable of adapting to future urban challenges.
