Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which green architecture (GA) and circular built environment (CBE) methodologies and practices contribute to and operationalize sustainable architecture within the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing from mainly recent literature on various approaches, interpretations and definitions of GA and CBE, this article identifies key themes, sub-themes and aspects and their respective relationships to the social, environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability. Impressions of GA and CBE on a triangular “canvas” of sustainability provide a visualization of not only similarities and differences between the two pathways, but also gaps toward sustainability. Finally, the findings suggest that a more integrated, balanced approach is necessary to accelerate the greening of architecture in a quest for sustainable livelihood, fairness, and viability, for all.
