Sustainable features in design address ecological impact across material selection, energy systems, and construction methods. Designers working in this area balance functional performance with environmental stewardship, considering lifecycle impacts from sourcing through end-of-life.

The community explores sustainable approaches through diverse projects: modular and timber construction systems, agricultural integration in urban settings, zero-waste material strategies, and residential benchmarks that demonstrate measurable environmental performance. Work ranges from experimental prototypes to realized buildings that serve as models for responsible design practice.

AFLOATOPOLIS

The "Afloatopolis" aims to create a new urban cross-section alternative between water and land for every city that is affected by global climate change and will disappear by sinking. The "Afloatopolis" is a project in which an architectural existence is emphasized again, but in doing so, it is reinterpreted without losing the public values.

The idea is to design a housing and production place that is not dependent on the outside, that can meet its own needs, intertwined with nature, and suitable for social distances. It is a vertically oriented neighborhood that includes symbiotic relationships within itself and also includes social spaces. We aimed to organize a life by using the limits given.
