Ecological architecture entails multiple factors within the construction process of a home and the impact that construction will have during its life-cycle: from its planning, execution and use until its demolition at the end of the process. In addition, residential ecological architecture takes into account the specific needs of the people who will inhabit each home. The following pages show a wide variety of sustainable and ecological resources: from recouping traditional architectural solutions like cross-ventilation and taking advantage of natural light to new insulation and self-supplying energy systems.
