Environmental architecture is a type of sustainable architecture that focuses on minimizing the negative impact of buildings on the environment. It takes into consideration factors such as energy efficiency, use of renewable resources, and reduction of waste, while still providing comfortable and functional spaces for people. Traditional architecture, on the other hand, does not necessarily prioritize sustainable practices and may not consider the environmental impact of its design choices. It may prioritize aesthetics over sustainability, and may not use materials and technologies that are energy-efficient or environmentally-friendly. Overall, environmental architecture places a greater emphasis on reducing environmental pollution, resource depletion, and greenhouse gas emissions, while traditional architecture may place more emphasis on cultural significance and historical preservation.
