Sustainable Development Paths for Urban Eco-Architecture

Introduction. Environmental development issues have become acutely relevant of late. Therefore eco-architecture is taking centre stage. By using sustainable design concepts and eco-friendly materials, eco-architecture reduces dependence on natural resources, as well as energy consumption and waste emissions, thus effectively decreasing the burden on the environment. Hence not only is eco-architecture an essential area of sustainable urban development, but also provides one with a practical way of designing a more harmonious and high-quality living environment. The aim of the study is to identify the principles of eco-architecture and assess its impact on the sustainable development of the urban environment. The impact of eco-architecture on the entire construction cycle of buildings and structures from the moment of construction to the demolition of the building is examined, and the ways of sustainable development of urban architecture are identified. Materials and Methods. Ways of sustainable development of eco-architecture in the modern world are analyzed. Various negative impacts such as air and water pollution, noise, landscape and ecosystem disturbance occur during the construction and operation of buildings. To minimise these impacts, it is necessary to develop environmental protection measures and take environmental aspects into account at all stages of design and construction. Research Results. The study assessed the sustainability of the development of eco-architecture according on the analysis of the life cycle of the building, accounting for the environmental impact at the stages of design, construction, use and demolition of the construction site. Discussion and Conclusion. The sustainability assessment of eco-architecture is based on the analysis of the building's life cycle, accounting for the environmental impact at all the stages: from design and construction to use and demolition. A comprehensive analysis of the resource consumption and environmental load of the building at different stages would enable one to assess sustainability more accurately. As digital technologies are evolving, the use of intelligent buildings and the Internet of Things (IoT) will enable data to be monitored and analyzed in real time. This will improve the sustainability management of buildings during the operational phase by providing data support in order to optimize resource efficiency.
