Emerald Studies in Sustainable Architecture and Design explores the critical intersection of architecture, design, and sustainability in an era defined by climate change, urbanization, and social transformation.Against the backdrop of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this series highlights how human-centered design can address environmental and societal challenges while fostering resilience and inclusion.While sustainability has traditionally been examined through social sciences and business disciplines, this series positions architecture and design as essential drivers of change, offering both conceptual and practical insights into how the built environment can adapt to and mitigate contemporary global pressures.
