DESIGNING A RESEARCH CENTER USING SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE APPROACH


Abstract

Sustainable development and architecture are said to consider environmental protection by changing their approach to nature, though solutions offered and what is today represented in a constructed environment underly an approach that disregards nature and is only aimed at protecting it for future generations. A review of definitions of architecture and building sustainability helps identify sustainable architecture as one with various environmental, economic, social, and technological aspects, which are most compatible with the environment, and cause the lowest level of damage. In the meantime, what we look for in this study, which also constitutes our study problem, is to design an agricultural research center by relying on training and research spaces. For this, the need to build a place to help society achieve its scientific agriculture and food security by informing farmers of sustainable farming, food security, etc., was felt urgent. As a result, the present descriptive-analytical study used some theoretical and practical methods to identify the needs proportionate to the site located in the city of Qorveh and to provide an appropriate design; also, by considering the significance of the subject of sustainability and public contribution by people like architects and designers, the design intended in this study was based on sustainable development.
