Environmental design can be used in landmarks and monuments by incorporating sustainable materials and methods that minimize the impact on the surrounding environment. For example, the construction of the monument could use locally sourced materials, such as stones and timber, to minimize transportation emissions. The landscape surrounding the monument could be designed with indigenous plants to promote biodiversity and prevent erosion.
In addition, the monument can incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to power lighting and other features. The site could also install rainwater harvesting systems that capture and reuse water for irrigation and other uses.
Moreover, the design could also promote public transportation or cycling by providing designated parking areas or bike racks. By using environmental design principles in landmarks and monuments, it demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and preserving the natural environment for future generations.
