Abstract
Sustainability is a concept to maintain or sustain something of good qualities or something from deteriorating. It is like creating a balance between human’s activity and nature. This concept is emerged to rectify the developing scientific agreement that there are major environmental problems occurring globally in big scale gradually along the years[1]. I agree on this strongly as I have read through a lot on the news article on the BBC website most of the time and from some books, like “The nature of sustainable development” & “Architecture 2000 and Beyond”, on the environmental problems since I was back in my high school education.
The main objectives of the worldwide sustainability effort and movements are to heal the sick earth and to maintain ample natural resources and maintain the good and healthy part of the environment like the nature for the future generation.[2] I believe in that as there are photographs which I have taken from the past when I was a kid and now, i saw the difference and I know instantly we have not take in consideration further of our environment we are going to lose all the beautiful memories and experiences of the certain place, environment which we are being a able to share with the future generation like ours kids or grandchildren gradually It is a personal experience which is a vivid memory in me.
There is a lots of studies and prediction from books by theorist like Charles Jencks and professor of University like Sharon Beder who wrote on how human activities which contribute to the environmental problems. This is very true in fact as the Video, “Koyanniquatsi” by Godfrey Reggio which shows how the modern world (depicts human’s activity) destroy the environment gradually by showing the images with music by Philip Glass[3]. This video would leave a deep impression to one and make one to stop and think back about the memory and knowledge one have had in touch with the nature.
