Semantic Link with the Natural Environment: Sustainable and Healthy Artificial Environments for Hot-Humid and Warm-Humid Climates

Abstract

Architectural artificial environment; as a joint product of imagination and technical information and as a combination of ecological, social, political, aesthetical and moral values, is the balancing epistemological systematic for ecology, economics and society which comprises of the future generations and all other living creatures. In ecological architecture, it is essential to design artificial environment as an artificial ecological system. This study asserts regional principles for different climate zones and environmental conditions by determining environmentally-conscious general design principles of ecological and sustainable public housing design. The significance and authenticity devolved on ecological and sustainable public housings and settlements on local, regional and global scales are discussed. As a result, in the light of the foregoing information given on ecological and sustainable process model and climate-weighted ecological and sustainable social public housing design model, related suggestions are made.
