“…The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. The data collection technique used by the researcher is to make direct observations in the field [14], namely the Horas Siantar traditional market area. The results of the data obtained will be linked to the theory of the principles of Sustainable Architecture.…”

Pasar Horas is a traditional market with the most extensive building as a traditional market in Pematang Siantar. Pasar Horas provides all the needs of tools and household materials to meet the community's needs, which makes Pasar Horas an essential role in meeting the community's needs. The impact given by the Pasar Horas building must be considered both on the environment and its users. Pasar Horas itself has fairly bad implications when viewed from the aspect of Sustainable Architecture, such as the wrong direction of building orientation, not eco-friendly materials, inefficient land use, and waste management due to market activities, where Sustainable Architecture itself calls for the negative impact of the establishment of the building is not too big. Therefore, the application of Sustainable Architecture in Pasar Horas buildings is needed so that the negative impact caused by the market on the environment and its users can be minimized, which will later be able to adapt Pasar Horas to the new era and become a traditional market that can compete with modern markets to meet household needs of the Pematang Siantar community.

“…The study begins by reviewing the sustainable strategies adopted in the WBBK. This is done by categorizing the sustainable strategies according to Shao's study of sustainable strategies in commercial buildings in Australia [21] and then classifying them for social and environmental quality based on the categories defined by Wen et al [22] in their unified framework of sustainable building. The study of WBBK has helped to understand the current application of sustainable design in the built environment of Afghanistan.…”

“…Table 2 provides basic information about the project. When defining the sustainable strategies in a building; Shao [21] categorized them in three sets of "architectural structure", "building elements and materials" and "utility services and maintenance". Wen et al [22] analyzed the three sustainability pillars (environmental, social, and economic) in different Green Building Rating Tools (GBRT) and provide a new unified criteria framework based on the different GBRTs.…”

The built environment is one of the critical areas of intervention for sustainable development. This study aims to investigate the sustainable and appropriate ways of designing Afghanistan’s built environment. To put forward a reliable mechanism of research, the study develops and uses three approaches. The first is to review the sustainable strategies applied in the design of the country’s first LEED-certified building, the World Bank Building in Kabul (WBBK). Secondly to understand the main concepts involved in the practice of designing for sustainability by analyzing five of the most influential books in the realm of design and sustainability. Finally, the findings from the review of the five books are reinforced with more literature associated with design and sustainability to analyze and evaluate the sustainable strategies of the WBBK. The study posits that although the building can promote the idea of a sustainable built environment in the country but there are several issues. Among the issues are, (1) Its high dependence on eco-technologies to reduce environmental impact rather than designing in relation to social and ecological systems, (2) Its insufficiency in providing a resilient design that is self-sufficient, flexible, and adaptive, and (3) Its lack of creating aesthetic experiences and cultural meaning for its occupants which are required for future designs and development. Furthermore, based on the findings and upon inquiring into the sustainable design of WBBK, the paper concluded with a set of recommendations to contribute towards the design of a sustainable built environment in Afghanistan.
