نمط المبنى وتأثيره على تحقيق الاستدامة: الاستدامة بين النمط الأفقي والنمط الرأسي للمباني

Abstract EN

The research studied and analyzed the impact of building patterns, whether horizontal or vertical, on achieving sustainability.

it initially deals with the concepts of building formation and sustainable development, its principles, the nature of sustainable construction, the principles of sustainable architecture, sustainable building evaluation systems, the environmental footprint of the building, and the environmental emissions emanating from it in stages.

different construction (before-during-after), and its relationship to the building style (horizontal-vertical) and the reasons for the increase in buildings’ energy consumption.

the study also addressed the safety systems and protection from dangers in both styles, and the comparison between them.

the study also monitored the effect of the building style on the city’s infrastructure..

in the end, the research concludes with many recommendations about the impact of building style on urban sustainability, the most important of which are its impact on the visual image and visual pollution of cities, and the efficiency of energy consumption, and that the application of each building style must be compatible with the surrounding environment, and that the dimensions of sustainability should not be ignored when making a design decision.

one of the most important of these principles is achieving protection systems as efficiently as possible.

the tallest, largest and most massive building is not evidence of progress and development, but rather the most sustainable building and achieving goals is the real evidence.
