Arch 213: Ecological Issues in Architecture
Four Elements of life in terms of designing the built environment Assist. Prof. Dr. Harun Sevinç Assist. Prof. Dr. Pınar Uluçay
2
-Earth - Water - Air - Fire
The four natural elements are essential in our world. Physical substances are classified as: -Earth - Water - Air - Fire
3
Earth: The soil - Used for building blocks - Reduce usage of cement
-Use naturally available materials
5
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Use/ Consumption Soil/Land Any type of construction (Building / Cities) Agriculture Landscaping
6
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Pollution Soil/Land Land pollution (Grey Land X Green Land) Geological changes Visual Pollution
7
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Depletion of Resources Soil/Land Forest depletion Land erosion/ Sliding
8
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Deterioration of the Ecologic Life/Species Soil/Land Some Animal Species Going Extinct
9
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Precautions/ Alternative Use of the Systems Alternative Uses: Re-Use Renew Recycling Soil/Land -Green design principles -Less touch to the land -Passive design systems with thermal mass or -Geothermal energy Old construction materials - Paper - Glass - Metal - Plastic Used in Building Industry Locally obtained materials (bamboo, oak or straw Recycled or second hand materials from local buildings such as doors and windows
10
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Eco Friendly Systems Green Labeled New Products Soil/Land New green construction materials: -Mud-Brick -Adobe -Earth material -Mixture with other natural elements such as straw/bale construction materials
11
Element of Life: Earth Soil as the main source

14
Water: Rainwater as the main source
- Harvest it - Reduce pressure on existing water bodies
15
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Use/ Consumption Water Exterior Electricity production Interior Cleaning/Bathing/Washing Drinking/ Cooking
16
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Pollution Water Exterior Land & River Pollution Interior Water pollution by using detergents Sewerage
17
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Precautions/Alternative Use of the Systems Alternative Uses: Re-Use Renew Recycling Water Exterior Rain water collection for drinking Use Water recycling to use again Solid waste can be used as a natural compost for the garden plants/ agricultural use Interior Re-use of kitchen water for flushing Water with detergent is not easy to clean Recycling- Disinfecting Water
18
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Eco Friendly Systems Green Labeled New Products Water Exterior Interior Water filters

21
Fire: Sun as source of energy
- Solar cooking/heating - Good and ample light
22
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Use/ Consumption Fire Energy Warmth Earth resources coal/fuel/ electricity and machinery use HVAC systems (ACs) for warming/ cooling systems
23
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Type of Pollution Fire Energy Warmth Air pollution
24
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Depletion of Resources Fire Energy Warmth Earth resources coal/fuel getting scares
25
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Deterioration of the Ecologic Life/Species Fire Energy Warmth Quality of life
26
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Precautions/ Alternative Use of the Systems Alternative Uses: Re-Use Renew Recycling Fire Energy Warmth -Renewable energy -Clean energy -Highlight and control the energy consumption -Choose an energy efficient energy source -Reduce the heat loss as much as possible -Reduce electricity consumption for lighting and appliances -Passive solar design -Wind power use -Solar energy -Wind energy
27
Four Main Elements of the Earth Resources
Eco Friendly Systems Green Labeled New Products Fire Energy Warmth -Solar batteries -Convectors -Trombe walls -Wind turbine/plant
28
