Global warming and climate change are major concerns across multiple disciplines. Population growth, urbanization, and industrialization are significant contributing factors to such problems due to the escalating use of fossil fuels required to meet growing energy demands. The building sector uses the largest share of total global energy production and produces tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Emerging eco-friendly technologies, such as solar and wind energy harvesting, are being extensively explored; however, they are insufficient. Nature-inspired technologies could offer solutions to our problems. For instance, algae are microorganisms that use water, light, and CO₂ to produce energy and sustain life, and the exploitation of these characteristics in a built environment is termed algae building technology, which is a very efficient and green application suitable for a sustainable future. Algae-integrated façades show great versatility through biomass and energy production, wastewater treatment, shading, and thermal and acoustic insulation. In this paper, algae will be introduced as a robust tool toward a greener and more sustainable future. Algae building technology and its implementation will be demonstrated. Furthermore, steps for applying this sustainable strategy in Egypt will be discussed.

Sustainable planning has become a major topic for designers, which includes open areas and green spaces’ designs. These green designs have evolved from traditional approaches to green architecture theory and practice vision that people want to use and respect. Since 1990, the percentage of Saudi Arabia's land area covered by plantations has stayed constant at around 0.5 percent. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants to change the country's economy and society by planting 10 billion trees through a tree-planting programme, in order to boost environmental awareness, assist Saudi society reconnect with nature, and create jobs in rural areas. This project will rise the area covered by existing trees by a factor of twelve and reduce carbon emissions by more than half (4 percent). This paper aims to Improve the natural and built environment by Focusing on the sustainable approach that can use to upgrade the environmental quality of the city and using successful green areas designs that make more attractive cities and providing more environmental services, in addition to ensure that the green spaces are created to reflect the values and pattern of people’s life that will use them. To achieve these goals, the research depends on analytical application methodology. The study reveals the green areas in the cities and their benefits, and suggest sustainable approach for successful green spaces towards better quality of life which can be a guide for designers involved the process of sustainable growth, the research adopts Saudi Arabia case study interests in reducing its carbon footprint and placing the country against global warming.

As a result of the development of materials, can be employed in the creation of spaces andforms within the buildings more interesting and remarkable, converting materials that meetenvironmental and structural function to more benefit from the distinctive materials inbuildings used for children, especially those buildings that contribute to the output of positiveenergy in the form of indirect education - where Modern educational approaches are aimed -at creating a creative and innovative generation. The creative environment for children is theenvironment that contributes to raising the child's imagination and expectations according toelements that help in using them in an unusual way.Here, the creative child possessesunlimited imagination and architecture must respond to those needs for stimulatingimagination with what smart materials can offer. Smart materials are more multifunctional"changeability and responsiveness according to needs". Being flexible and adaptable to theenvironment by improving building’s impact to provide healthier and more efficientenvironment.The research aims to utilize concepts of smart materials and intelligencetechniques that act more dynamically. IoT Internet of things emerged the architecture spacesgiving more smart potentials.The application of "InternetofThings" in the architectural spaces affects the built environment.The research question is whether the use of smart materials and IoT technology in children'sspaces provides a creative an innovative environment?The dramatic increase in technology with new systems has encouraged the study of thedifferent characteristics of building materials. Through the analysis of some case studies thatdeal with children's spaces, there is a presence of the characteristics and practices ofintelligence in architecture.The findings confirm that the use of smart materials and newtechnological techniques in children's spaces is the source of the positive benefits that create acognitive relationship between the child and his environment.Through the lessons learnedfrom the analytical study, some ideas were proposed to enhance the concept of creativity inarchitecture while giving a new dimension to the space and time. نتیجة تطور المواد أمکن توظیفھا فی إیجاد حیزات و إشکال ضمن المبانی أکثر تشویقا وتحویلھا من مواد تلبی وظیفة بیئیةوإنشائیة إلی الاستفادة منھا فی مواد نجدھا أکثر تمیزا استخدامھا فی المبانی المخصصة للأطفال وبالأخص تلک المبانیالتی تساھم فی إخراج الطاقة الایجابیة فی صورة تعلیمیة غیر مباشرة وھو ما یتجھ إلیھ المناھج التربویة الحدیثة فی خلق جیل مبدع ومبتکر. البیئة الإبداعیة للأطفال ھی تلک البیئة التی تسھم فی إثارة خیال وتطلعات الطفل وفق عناصر مساعدةفی استخدامھا فی صورة غیر المعتاد علیھا والطفل المبدع من یمتلک خیال بلا حدود ویجب ان یتم الرد علی ذلک الخیالبتصرفات بخامات تلبی ذلک الاحتیاج وھو ما یتوفر فی مواد البناء الذکیة. إن تقنیات...

It is easy today to predict that the building systems will become active in the responsive systemoperation by controlling their energy consumption to optimize complex criteria beyond ensuring localend-use comfort satisfaction. It's necessary to enable integration between the building and thesurrounding environment. So, Responsiveness in architecture is one of the attributes that you canapply. Studies have shown that the biggest reason for this, billions of people will live in citiesespecially in Asia and Africa, and most cities are not ready for this massive growth, it's hard to showbuildings and more damage to the environment, cause our cities to emit 80% of greenhouse gasesindustry, transportation and Mobility. So, it should use natural resources to reduce energyconsumption that seeks sustainable building design. Cities are not only the hotels, but it's placed tolive in order to influence and improve their characteristics.
