Abstract

First of all, we need to admit that human beings would not survive without using natural resources. Based on this presumption, we shall accept that the nature of this planet would be exhausted without us taking sustainable policies. The problem was "how to do it." Would it be enough to conserve individual fauna/flora species and limited nature, in separation of ecosystems from humans? We will need to find a way to diminish the impact on nature, assuming that humans will continue their economic activity. Let us surmise that both nature and humans are components of the ecosystem. Resolution will lie in building an artificial ecosystem, which will realize sustainable prosperity of human life, based on the perspective of coexistence and minimum impact on the global environment. Based on these assumptions, we believe that the following "Architecture scheme for Sustainable Development" will gain agreement.
