Sustainability


According to definition by Robert Gillman, the goal of sustainable development is to "meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs"(WECD, 1987). later he extended this goal oriented definition by stating "sustainability refers to a very old and simple concept (The Golden Rule)...do onto future generations as you would have them do onto you." This is short , but really exact explanation of sustainability. We have to think not only about beauty in the process of architectonical designing, but also about many other aspects - social, economic and cultural to create architecture, which is long term lasting and creates the best living conditions during long time.
