Sustainable Architecture in Uzbekistan: Incorporating Traditional Techniques into Modern Green Design

Uzbekistan's infrastructure shows that it can handle extreme weather while still looking good and working well. This study aims to determine the integration of modern sustainable design strategies with passive technologies, such as passive cooling, natural material insulation, and optimal building orientation. This study examines historic architecture in Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva to identify key characteristics that decrease energy consumption and, consequently, lessen environmental impacts. The results show how these old-fashioned ways can be brought back to encourage climate-friendly, long-lasting architecture in cities and towns today. Recent architectural projects show that it is possible to design and build sustainable and culturally important buildings by combining historical references with cutting-edge green technologies like solar panels, advanced climate control systems, and green roofs. This method lets Uzbekistan keep its unique architecture while also meeting the growing needs for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The article ends with suggestions for architects and policymakers on how to successfully mix old and new styles in Uzbekistan's modern architecture.
