[email protected] Towards a Sustainable Architecture 227-250 pp Recibido: 17-04-2014 - revisado 11-05-2014 - aceptado: 30-05-2014 © Copyright 2012: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia. Murcia (España) vol 10-11 / Jul-Dic. 2014 ISSN edición impresa: 1889-979X. ISSN edición web (http://revistas.um.es/api): 1989-8452 Towards a Sustainable Architecture Pascual Patuel Chust HACIA UNA ARQUITECTURA SOSTENIBLE ABSTRACT The growing awareness of the importance of ecology in the last decades has led many architects to rethink their construction proposals to make them more respectful of the environment and sustainability. The present article analyzes the legislation, conferences and international declarations (Earth Summit, Declaration of Interdependence for a Sustainable Future, Introduction to Sustainable Design) that have advocated the practice of a more ecological architecture. Also examined are the technological guidelines used to create an architecture that is both sustainable and harmonious with the natural surroundings, the construction materials employed in these buildings, their processes of air conditioning and lighting, and the physical and spiritual health of their occupants. Reference is made to the pioneers in the development of this sustainable architecture: Charles Correa, Brenda and Robert Vale, Kenneth Yeang. Finally, we provide some current examples of cities and buildings that have been the object of special ecological attention, realized by architects such as: Richard Rogers, Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel and Herzog & de Meuron. Keywords Sustainable architecture, Ecological architecture, Green architecture, Low energy architecture.

    Encyclopedia of 20th-century architecture 428 Hopkins’s Patera system, is also exoskeletal but, in contrast with the central spine, is more restrained. Anthony Hunt Associates designed the steel structure, and the lightweight structures unit of Ove Arup and Partners designed the fabric roof. A zoned servicing strategy supports the contrasting spatial and structural characters of the central spine and flanking wings. The winter garden and test station, although weather tight, are conceived as quasi-external spaces; the labs are sealed spaces in which tightly controlled environmental conditions for research can be maintained; and the offices have opening windows and sunshading that can be adjusted by the occupants. The building works as an icon in the heroic modernist tradition and, by addressing human needs, significantly advances the idea of the workplace. Transparency—with fully glazed walls between winter garden, test station, and labs and a glazed external envelope—creates a high degree of visual interaction both within the building and between the building and the outside world. An egalitarian workplace laced together by open meeting spaces and the generosity of the winter garden integrates disparate functions—clean and dirty, quiet and noisy, front and back of house. This social and programmatic integration is reiterated in the marriage of orthogonal and curvilinear geometries, of compressive and tensile structures, and of rational Miesian discipline with more exuberant expressionism. This building for Schlumberger was Michael Hopkins’s first use of a tensile fabric structure and the first large-scale architectural use of Teflon-coated fabric in the United Kingdom. Hopkins would further explore fabric structures in subsequent projects including the Mound Stand at Lord’s Cricket Ground (1987), the amenity building and ventilation towers at Inland Revenue (1995), and the Younger Universe Pavilion in Edinburgh (1998).
