Abstract:
The integration of sustainable materials into modern architectural design represents a pivotal shift towards environmental responsibility and resource efficiency in the construction industry. This review critically examines the recent trends and innovations in sustainable materials, evaluating their impact on architectural practices and their potential to drive future developments. By synthesizing a broad spectrum of literature, this paper identifies key sustainable materials that are redefining design tactics and functional performance in architecture. It discusses the technological advancements facilitating these innovations and assesses the challenges and inherent opportunities in future. The findings underscore the importance of these sustained innovations and the need for comprehensive policy frameworks to support the extensive adoption of sustainable materials in architectural design.
