Share this

This fourth International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature (Eco-Architecture 2012) follows the 3 successful previous meetings that have been held in the brand new Forest, UK (2006); within the Algarve, Portugal (2008) as well as in A Coruña, Spain (2010).

The introduction of Eco-Architecture is driven through the depletion of natural resources and also the need to preserve the total amount of nature.

Eco-Architecture provides imaginative and expressive solutions and it is characterized by the generation of highly creative designs. It’s important cultural in addition to architectural impacts.

Eco-Architecture is within harmony with nature, including its immediate environs. Decisions are adopted ecological grounds concerning locations, siting and orientation, along with the well-informed choice of materials.

Eco-Architecture makes every effort to minimise using energy each and every stage from the building’s life cycle, including that embodied within the extraction and transportation of materials, their fabrication, their assembly in to the building and ultimately the convenience and worth of their recycling once the building’s life is over. The look takes into account the use of energy in building maintenance and alterations in its use, in addition to its lighting, cooling and heating, particularly in which the energy consumed requires the emission of greenhouse gases. Substantial savings is possible by the selection of materials right for passive energy systems, especially natural ventilation, summer shading and winter solar heat gain. Alternative energy resources can offer heating and electrical power.
