We Need a Sustainable Community

To the sustainable community up to the Industrial Revolution in the second half of the 19th century, humans have the ability to adversely affect the geological and climate cycles that have existed for thousands of years on a global scale. Planet Earth people call home, has a history of about 5 billion years. Paleontology will tell us that human beings are a relatively new role of this planet. Modern people did not arrive from about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. With the development of hunting, agriculture, literacy and science, human beings can prosper and live in almost every place in the world.

When we talk about sustainability, what do we want to sustain? Of course, I will not keep nature itself. Instead, we humans like it, so we maintain nature. More precisely, whether it is energy consumption or aesthetic consumption, we have secured the resources necessary for human consumption. In a sense, we leave nature to the industry.

As we enter a more environmentally friendly age, we necessarily need to construct ecologically responsible and sustainable cities. Creating a building that is aesthetically appealing yet has the lowest possible energy and carbon emissions is a matter of summarizing great ideas and changing the way we think of life and workplaces. Below are our favorite sustainable building projects from China, Singapore, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Nanjing Green Lighthouse is a zero carbon office and shining lighthouse for sustainable design in China. Completed by Archiland International, this 5,500 square-meter lighthouse features spiral features centered around a brightly filled atrium that provides natural light and fresh air to all floors. Low energy architecture is a demonstration project of Nanjing high-tech zone and is a test zone for sustainable urban development.
