FITNESS human life and nature summarized in the concept of green architecture. The concept is currently promoted in the modern human life.

Green architecture is an approach to building can minimize the harmful effects on human health and the environment. Green architecture includes more than a building.

In its planning, should include the main environmental sustainability. “For the basic understanding of green architecture (green architecture) is sustainable, including landscape, interior, and architectural aspects of a unit,” said Nirwono Yoga, landscape designer who also environmentalists.

In a rough calculation, if the house is a spacious 150 square meters, with the use of land for the building is 100 square meters, the remaining 50 meters of green land should be fulfilled by empowering potential around. Nirwono example, the concept of empowerment roof and green roof garden wall. The wall is not just concrete or natural stone, but can be overgrown with vines. In addition, the main goal of green architecture is to create eco design, eco-friendly architecture, natural architecture, and sustainable development.

“Green architecture practiced by improving energy efficiency, water, and materials, to reduce the impact on health through building layout, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings,” Dr Mauro Rahardjo review of the Feng Shui School Indonesia.

Mathematically stated, the consumption of 300 liters of water should be restored completely to the ground. For example, vegetable washing water remaining can be used to wash the car. “Or make a well catchment and Biopori,” said Nirwono.

In terms of aesthetics, green architecture lies in the philosophy of designing buildings in harmony with nature and natural resources around them. The use of building materials derived from natural materials and building materials that can be updated.

“Taking advantage of renewable sources such as using sunlight through passive solar and active solar, and photovoltaic techniques using plants and trees through green roofs and rain gardens,” said Mauro.

The concept of green architecture is to support energy conservation programs. Tropical-style house with lots of openings, formed to reduce the use of AC is also enlightening. However, it will not run smoothly if the house is not beautiful. Aperture will only put a lot of hot air and make the owner to install air-conditioner fixed.

Garden and yard in green architecture is not merely aesthetic attention. “With the food crisis, the idea could be a roof garden living pharmacy or vegetable garden. No time to make the park more than just the aesthetic aspect,” call Nirwono. Neatly arranged vegetables as possible, and then consumed their owners. Some plants are suited to roof garden is a betel leaf, pandan vegetables, kale, and others.

Nirwono explain the existence of harmony in life antartiap joints. People talk of green concept, but did not gel with the surroundings. Energy crisis arising out of human weakness in meeting the needs. Humans waiting for food from outside the city. Tomato vegetable can be planted in the yard, not a first choice. Prefer to wait for trucks carrying vegetables from out of town. Just think, how much energy is wasted.

A German company in a product launch environmentally friendly bricks. In fact, the product was not so environmentally friendly if it should be taken using a ship out of Germany. We should be able to use his own bricks, and the opportunity cost less energy waste. Original structure to apply the principle of Indonesia’s green architecture.

“The structure of the building in Java and Irian, kind of tropical architecture using indigenous materials from the region,” said the man was friendly. With all the limitations, our ancestors built the house and use appropriate resources.

In terms of interior, green architectural decoration and furniture requires not need much, better sanitary, kitchen clean, energy efficient design, ease of clean water, spacious, and the amount of space needs, building materials and construction quality is more powerful, and water channels. To overcome the waste bin, Biopori hole can be the solution.
