Ecological building: it's adaptation on Menara Telekom, Jalan Pantai Baru, Kuala Lumpur / Mohd. Faridz Mohd. Radzi

I have always been fascinated by the topics 'sustainability'. The concept of 'timeless' building never fail to trigger my passion towards buildings and environment co-existence. In general, sustainable building is one of the compartment of a much bigger frame; sustainable development. In brief, sustainable development is about satisfying the needs of present generation without compromising or diminishing the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs. By causing irreparable damages to the natural environment or depleting available natural resources, we limit the access of future generations to these resources and thereby compromise their ability to meet their own needs. Thus, sustainable development is the interplay of the economy and environment and how to manage both to ensure inter-generational equity.
