| Abstract | ||||
| There is an increasing global attention of the environment, and there are modern concepts trying to link the architecture with the environment. The Egyptian architecture influenced by the environment since the ancient times, where the Pharaohs built their civilization and adapt it to the surrounding environment through the use of environmental motives and respect the surrounding climate, Also the Islamic architecture in Egypt was characterized by the Environmental design used to provide a comfortable interior with the use of local available materials. By the beginning of the twentieth century appeared the vernacular and local environmental architecture pioneered by architect Hassan Fathy, who maintained the features of Egyptian architecture and used it according to the environment and the needs of users. And by the time this trends start to diminish and became individual attempts to activate the thoughts of sustainability in architecture, where we can find some projects with sustainable and environmental approaches, and finally we found some trials to get international accreditation, where a branch of (HSBC) bank in Egypt has achieved a Golden LEED certificate, and that may represent local Egyptian sustainable architecture. | ||||
