When it comes to looking at architecture in Sydney, we all turn the Opera House. Architects are something very inspiring to look at. However, the design of Opera House is not the main focus of today's architects - all on the Green (sustainable) design.

Being eco-friendly way into the future. There are many ways to green architecture can be traced and it is not just about solar energy. Saving energy and water is the main drive of the Government and the measures being put in place to make sure that you build buildings that meet the government's initiatives for the future of Green.

Architects are using terms such as organic architecture, environmental architecture, green architecture or sustainable architecture. But it does not matter ho from the main objectives and outcomes are the same, you have a building that not only meets the Green Government Initiative, but the building is the practice, functional, and you are satisfied with the outcome.

Bamboo is strong, and because there are different types have different purposes, making furniture for the construction of complete houses. Unlike trees, bamboo can take as little as 3 or 4 months to grow. Commercial use bamboo takes only 6 years of growth for building purposes, which makes them a continual source of building materials.

· Recycle: Designers try to save costs and materials. The use of objects such as doors, windows and mantels from the demolished houses were seen as a renewable resource. Water and sewage are recycled.

· Organic materials: they have the ability to breathe, and absorb and release moisture, organic material to help create a healthy indoor environment. Organic buildings have much in common with organic foods, with emphasis on health, energy efficiency and sustainability. Organic farmers question promotes the consumption of fast food corporations, such as organic builders question benefits of using building materials to promote large organizations.
