SUSTAINABLE DESIGN - NEW STANDARDS IN SPACE CREATION – A REVIEW OF THE SELECTED STUDENT WORKS
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Sustainable design in architecture is of prime importance due to civilisation, economic, environmental and social factors. Countries both in Europe, and also in other continents, have committed to take measures to limit the degradation of the natural environment. An architect plays a relevant role in creating the surrounding space. Students of the Kielce University of Technology are increasingly more interested in sustainable design, which can be seen in the designs they produce. In the paper, the author presents some students’ works in which standards of sustainable design were successfully applied.
