Taking into consideration our global and local environment has become of paramount importance, Eco Design is a practice that endeavours to create a greener architecture; a climatically, geographically and culturally appropriate method of designing architecture and constructing buildings. It combines the best of both old and new technology. Green Architecture treads lightly on this planet and respects and cares for the Earth in a sustainable manner, by embracing holism; social, economic & cultural upliftment; land use that is respectful and in symbiosis with the local environment and its resources; the protection, conservation, efficiency and re-use of water; the conservation, efficiency, and renewable use of energy; and non-polluting environments and healthy materials.
