The Green Architecture are Adaptive reuse of Traditional Buildings.

A few month ago there was one project conducted which was for Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) technology transfer project.It was being phased out and it was found necessary to present this technology to the local construction sector within the context of 'green building'. The notion of green architecture has started permeating the discussions of the conscientious citizens. Architecture students seem to be showing growing interest in green concepts. Even marketing strategies seem to see profitability in the green image. Very often it is green eye-wash that is sold to the consumer, who does not want to question the tag that states how 'green' the products is. The use of our natural resources and consumption of energy have a direct impact on our environment. We need to see this within an overall system of sustainable development which as per the Brundtland Report of 1987 would mean 'development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. It has been 20 years since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where it became clear that 'unsustainable consumption and production patterns formed the biggest threat to the earth's capacity to satisfy human needs'. Some progress has been made but clearly it is not enough.
      The construction industry and building is one of the sectors  with the highest consumption of energy and the greatest productions waste and pollution. It is therefore, a very strategic place to begin reducing our footprint on the resources and environment of this finite earth. There are a plethora of solutions being churned out and marketed under the veil of green architecture but there is a lack of assessment and control to verify their effectiveness.
