Innovative design trend results in sustainable structures; more focus on eco-friendly construction products. Given the impact of climate change on people and their lifestyles, architects and engineers are increasingly designing new buildings under the “green” concept, using innovation across all aspects of the design and construction process in order to produce sustainable, eco-friendly buildings.
Associate Prof Dr Jin Anotai, lecturer in the Department of Environmental Engineering at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thon Buri, said that engineers and architects of today have to
design homes and other buildings with concern for the environment firmly in mind, and that both project design and construction materials should be environmentally friendly.Building design should have a waste-disposal system, with zero waste being the main goal in terms of having a system that equals the building’s beauty, he said. Innovative design has to combine both the architect’s view and the engineer’s view, so that a building offers functionality to meet the demands of end users and is also friendly to the environment, he added.

Associate Prof Pirast Pacharaswate, a lecturer in the Architecture Faculty of Chulalongkorn University, said residential design should not only be about structure and architectural features.
An architect has to take environmental concerns into account to consume fewer resources, while the home itself also has to be environmentally friendly.
The architecture should be responsive to the weather, which has become increasingly severe over the past few years.
The right design can reduce environmental destruction, he said, adding that this should be a clear and desirable concept for everyone, including Thais. The local climate has influenced people’s lifestyle. Cold and warm climates have affected the tradition and culture of people, said the lecturer.
