As the natural resources are being extensively depleted, sustainability is an issue that needs to be addressed not only at the authoritative level, but also with the general public as well, as it is a collaborative effort. As a result, this research endeavors to determine effective elements to be incorporated into the design of buildings in hopes to further the efforts of sustainability. It aims to connect the aesthetics of the building seen by the visible eye to the ideology of sustainability, while encouraging developers and architects to abide by effective guidelines in promoting this ideal through effective elements found including the characteristics of the buildings itself along with its relationship with its surroundings.
