2. Using materials that are locally sourced to reduce transportation costs and promote local economies.
3. Incorporating natural elements such as stone, wood, or water into the design to create a sense of connection with the natural environment.
4. Considering the life cycle of materials from extraction to disposal, and choosing materials that have minimal environmental impact.
5. Using passive design strategies that rely on natural materials to provide insulation, ventilation, and shading, such as plant walls, green roofs, and sunshades.
6. Using natural light, organic shapes, and natural colors to create a calm and peaceful environment.
7. Incorporating landscaping elements such as trees, plants, and gardens into the design to promote biodiversity and reduce the heat island effect.
