Exploring Local Architecture or Built Environment (BE)
Responses to Specific SDG Goals and Targets
Introduction
This project allows you to explore how architecture can provide the basis towards meeting several
Sustainable Design Goals. Designer can provide basic ideas and proposal for regulation that makes it
possible for sustainable communities. Working in partnership, designers can facilitate the open dialogue to
provide solutions as a way forward. The 17 SDG goals define the challenges that need to be addressed to
achieve a better and more sustainable future. Leaving no one behind, the world must move towards achieve
these goals by 2030. This includes the built environment particularly the architecture practice that is
associated with every goal, importantly not at aspirational level, but through realized (real life) buildings,
settlements, cities, and strategies locally. To evident this statement tangibly and to demonstrate how built
environment/architectural responses to these goals you are required to document realized cases of
architecture, planning, and structures with the aim of understanding the Goals as they relate to
architecture/built environment. Each one of the documented cases will form a basis to start a conservation
on how the built environment can contribute to a particular goal.
