Assignment 2 (Exploring local architecture or built environment (BE) responses to specific SDG goals and targets)

This project allows you to explore how architecture can provide the basis towards meeting several Sustainable Design Goals. Designer can provide basic ideas and proposal for regulation that makes it possible for sustainable communities. Working in partnership, designers can facilitate the open dialogue to provide solutions as a way forward. The 17 SDG goals define the challenges that need to be addressed to achieve a better and more sustainable future. Leaving no one behind, the world must move towards achieve these goals by 2030. This includes the built environment particularly the architecture practice that is associated with every goal, importantly not at aspirational level, but through realized (real life) buildings, settlements, cities, and strategies locally. To evident this statement tangibly and to demonstrate how built 
environment/architectural responses to these goals you are required to document realized cases of architecture, planning, and structures with the aim of understanding the Goals as they relate to architecture/built environment. Each one of the documented cases will form a basis to start a conservation on how the built environment can contribute to a particular goal.

Assignment 2 ( Exploring local architecture or built environment (BE) responses to specific SDG 
goals and targets)

Duration: 5 weeks

Objectives:

  • To project is to create awareness of the 17SDG goals and specifically the goals that are associated with Built Environment/Architecture (BE/Arch)

  • To explore and understand how the BE/Arch is responding to particular Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

We were to find a green building in Malaysia and do research about the 17 Sustainable Design Goals and find out which features of the green building matches the Sustainable Design Goals. We were to further analyze and give examples of the building by taking pictures at the selected building.
