Abstract

At the millennium, the issue of new paradigms for architecture are explored based on sustainability. Pre-industrial designs, whether great monuments like the Pantheon, or utilitarian structures such as stables or charity housing for the elderly, are seen as models of sustainability. In contrast, the buildings of industrial cultures are distinctly less sustainable in spite of energy conservation and bioclimatic design. Globalization and localization are identified as a basis for the "Glocal" as a responsible design ethic. In assessing sustainability, the patrimony of our own family is an easily understood comparative technique. Also discussed is the numerical rating of green architecture performance, as illustrated by the Green Building Challenge and various national systems; architectural models of natural systems, as exemplified in selected greenhouse designs; and Ecological Footprint measurement concepts. Bioclimatic design is necessary but inadequate for a sustainable future in architecture. Sustainability is conceived as the immediate challenge for the built environment, not for the millennium, but well within the coming century. Proactive built environments are necessary to restore global natural processes, as well as to support exploding global populations. Ecological and social measures reinforce initiatives of the 20 th century.
