People think that environmental sustainability is simple, but it is really complicated to meet a goal of sustainability. According to U.S Green Building Council, more than 16,000 green projects are reported. Currently building green houses are booming. However, there are no standards on a green building. In addition, people tend to consider only the size of house and seem to forget a basic principle when they pay money for a new house design. Expertises insist that E nvironmental sustainability is about a practical system of green building, not the beauty of great design. So far, many established architects have learned how to combine green issues with building. Now, S ustainability is the future of architecture that is putting green into design .

As the writer said, an ugly green building is better than an ugly non-green building . But just beautiful design will be better than ugly green building? We can say that design is competitive power for any business. When we make a new building, we prefer all innovative an advanced design to make it beautiful. Yet in Korea we still tend to consider only a building appearance. But, fortunately people’s interests on green are getting higher than a few years ago. Green is a universal issue. Therefore, if we build our international competitiveness, we should follow world’s green trend not only environment but also architecture. I believe that currently we are in a transitional stage, therefore , before long Seoul will be one of the beautiful green cities.

Achieving real sustainability is much more complicated than the publicity suggests. Media is only getting louder. The urge to build green is exploding : more than 16,000 projects are now registered with the U.S. Green Building Council.
Regarding the green project, people don’t want to hear that size matters. We keep building not just bigger entertainment complexes but bigger houses. Building green houses is on the rise.

Sustainability is about the practical systems of building, not the beauty of great design. For the next generation of architects, sustainability will be second nature, they’re learning in architecture schools how to incorporate green into design and some of them will become the innovators who’s devise ever more efficient ecological solutions. The writer anticipated that green architecture won’t be discretionary but required of every architect a builder.
