Internal Architecture Trumps the Need for Beautiful External Architecture

Introduction.

Since 1970, there has been a high alert for environmental problems. Some people may think that automobiles are the main cause of the non-recyclable resource. Even building and homes use half of the non-recyclable resource. Sustainability architecture is not the newest concept. The sustainable architecture is rarely ever used, reason behind is the both the architect and the client. It’s the job of architect to involve the client in the idea of the sustainable architecture. Due to the lack of solid resources most architects are unable to create or design a new sustainable architecture for a client. Even though options are given to the client about the sustainable architecture, however the client turns down the offer because they may not want to the pay the additional costs to construct. At some point the client has to be educated about design issues “sleek doesn’t mean better” and “a glass wall is not better than a concrete wall”. Time will come when people will have to be concerned about the internal architecture than the exterior architecture. Architects must stop withdrawing information from the catalogue and use their own design ability to reshape the way architecture runs. Sustainability architecture not only is preferable for the environment but it also gives the opportunity for the architect to really push the design beyond its limit.

Not necessarily the building has to be eco friendly in every other way but even a minor helps are accepted by it. Although its made out of steel and timber, Ball-Eastaway house has a various characteristics where it helps the environment. It’s built in a way so that it would benefit both the building and the nature around it. In case there is a fire the house would prevent it from getting spread through the forest with its sparkling installation system. There is always a room for an improvement, same with the Ball-Eastaway house in term of sustainability it can be made more effective and much more powerful with the power of natural resource where its surrounded by it.
