I am really doing this one. I need to deliver the best for you. I also noticed the drawing part needs a lot of keenness so that is why I would request if you can kindly add me time. Please?

How Sustainability Shapes and Changes the Design Division of Architecture
Introduction
The world has transitioned from an era of rapid technological advancements that that was
supported by a very large consumption of natural resources to a period where people are focused
more on using resources more efficiently. This change has been propagated by the realization
that the earth has finite resources which tend to reduce even as the human population continues
with a rising trend. The reality is that the situation is spiraling out of control at an alarming rate
as the planet nears its carrying capacity. As those tasked with the duties of infrastructural
development seek sustainable solutions to the challenges at hand, it is now undebatable that
buildings have an impact that is significant to the environment.
For a long time, it has been the wish of architectures to get a balance between creating
buildings that are both functional and also eco-friendly. The nobility in the wish to achieve such
is indeed commendable and the efforts made as one strives to make the dream practical even so.
However, far be it from reality, this notion is thought to be wishful thinking and the professionals
consider it a “hippy” approach into solving problems that are much more complicated beyond the
realms of reality. There indeed exists great difficulty in incorporating the aesthetic elements of a
building with the functionality required of modern buildings while still being environmentally
friendly. The result is often a building whose construction and maintenance costs tend to
override the economic returns thus making the project not viable. However, there are instances

where such buildings are made for monumental purposes and thus the project owners
overlooking the possibility that indeed this could be a white elephant form of investment.
However, we cannot escape the fact that the buildings need to be sustainable and that
architectures and other developers of the built environment must seek alternatives into making
the dream a reality. Such alternatives could include the use of cheaper building materials and the
development of much more efficient designs that capitalize on minimizing the harmful
environmental effects of building and construction. In this paper, the focus will be on three
infrastructural projects which are Garden by the Bay, EcoARK, and One Central Park. There will
be an analysis of how modern architecture integrated sustainability as part of its consideration in
the design process. Furthermore, there will be an introspection into the innovative nature of the
materials used as part of the solution to the bigger problem of addressing environmental
degradation.
The Effect of Going Green on Buildings
There are many potential benefits to building eco-friendly structures both from an
environmental and economic perspective. One such benefit is the reduction of building and
construction costs. One such way of doing so is the lowering of energy costs associated with
lighting and ventilation of the infrastructure. Furthermore, certain costs get reduced due to
recycling of resources like water or using more efficient ways of waste disposal. Recycled water
may be used for other functions. One such way of making good use of water is in the cooling
systems for the building. The recycled water may be used for cooling overheating machines and
other equipment. Furthermore, where it is possible, the water may be used for washin...
