Alignment of human life and nature is summarized in the concept of green architecture. Concepts that are being promoted in the life of modern man.

Green architecture is an approach to building that can minimize a variety of harmful effects on human health and the environment. Green architecture includes more than a building.

In its planning, should include the main environmental sustainability. For a basic understanding of green architecture (green architecture) that is sustainable, including landscapes, interiors, and in terms of architecture into a single entity.

In a rough calculation, if the house is a spacious 150 square meters, with the use of land for the building is 100 square meters, then the remaining 50 meters of green land should be fulfilled by empowering potential around. Nirwono example, the concept of empowerment roof and green roof garden wall. Wall rather than concrete or natural stone, but can be overgrown with vines. In addition, our ultimate goal is to create an eco green architectural design, eco-friendly architecture, architectural, natural and sustainable development.

Green architecture is practiced by increasing the efficiency of energy use, water, and materials, reducing building impacts on health through the layout, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings.

Mathematically stated, the consumption of 300 liters of water must be restored fully to the ground. For example, vegetable washing waste water can be used to wash the car. Or make absorption wells and biopori.

In terms of aesthetics, green architecture lies in the philosophy of designing buildings in harmony with nature and natural resources around them. Use building materials that are developed from natural materials and renewable building materials.

Utilizing renewable sources such as using sunlight through passive solar and active solar, and photovoltaic techniques using plants and trees through green roofs and rain gardens.

The concept of green architecture strongly supports energy conservation programs. Tropical-style house with lots of openings, formed to reduce the use of AC is also enlightening. However, it will not run smoothly if the surrounding houses are not beautiful. Aperture a lot of hot air will only enter and make their owners to install air-conditioning equipment.

Garden and yard in green architecture also does not just pay attention to aesthetics. With the food crisis, the idea could be a pharmacy roof garden or vegetable garden of life. No time anymore to make the park in terms of aesthetics alone. Vegetable Crops arranged as neat as possible, and then consumed by the owner. Some plants that are suitable for roof garden is a betel leaf, pandan vegetables, kale, and others.

People talk of green concept, but not jelly around with. Energy crisis arising out of human weaknesses in meeting the needs. Human awaiting the arrival of foodstuffs from outside the city. Tomato vegetable can be planted in the yard, not be the first choice. Prefer to wait for trucks carrying vegetables from out of town. Just think, how much energy is wasted.

A German company launched the product in environmentally friendly bricks. In fact, the product was not so friendly environment if the sea should be taken by boat out of Germany. We should be able to use the brick itself, with cost and less energy waste opportunities. Indonesian original building structure is already implementing the principles of green architecture.

In terms of interior design, green architecture requires the decor and furniture do not need too much, better sanitary ware, kitchen clean, energy efficient design, ease of clean water, area and number of spaces according to needs, quality building materials and construction is stronger, as well as water channels. To handle the waste bin, biopori hole can be a solution.
