Abstract | ||||
In recent decades, Building Technology has witnessed several and successive plethora which led to the development of many traditional building materials and the use of many modern materials within enterprises therefore a lot of negative changes have taken place that have affected the ecosystem and the lack of sustainability of these facilities occurs, prompting a lot of designers and companies which are developing building Materials to think of re-development of modern building materials in order to achieve sustainable construction and compatibility with the environment according to many of the architectural trends which call for Friendship(mutuality) with the environment as it can be called sustainable architecture as a response to the current conditions of the environment , pollution and human health issues, which in turn influenced the architectural and urban outcome . The research aims at the pursuit of sustainable architecture by developing the use of building materials and construction systems in a friendly manner with the environment. To achieve the goal, comparison of accredited universal archetypes from the green building organizations, has been done on the aspects of sustainability used in building materials concluded a set of recommendations that can be followed in order to let the system work in an integrated way under the umbrella of sustainable development and architecture in Egypt. | ||||
