�is exercise will explore some basic principles of sustainable housing. Sustainability involves careful consideration of building footprint, orientation, materials, response to context both physical and social, �exibility of spaces, fresh air, daylight and sunlight, human comfort, practicalities of life, convenience and beauty.
