Today, the architectural design also places a great focus on another topic that is now widely discussed, and has fundamental importance for the survival of the human being and beyond: the environment. Due to the disruption of the natural equilibrium given by the unbridled use of the resources that have been made available to us, issues such as global warming, pollution, and environmental protection have begun to take their place within the problems of global interest. Creating an architecture that is sustainable should be the central point of every professional's work, to do this it is necessary to study not only the building materials but also the technologies and strategies that can be implemented to limit the environmental impact.
