| Summary: | The theme of sustainable architecture is essentially multidisciplinary. Within this field of proposals, actions and responsibilities, this issue is discussed according to an architect’s perspective, highlighting the role of comfort and energy efficiency. The article starts with a brief historical context concerned with sustainable architecture, followed by considerations about starting points for the development of an architectural design that aims to contribute to sustainability, including the following topics: architectural design and environmental quality, climatization, design and energy, buildings’ certification, the international context, buildings and the built environment. Then, the article presents experiences on research, professional education and practice, focusing on the architectural design and its links with technology and environment. This content is the result of reflections upon the theme of Sustainable Architecture, based on ten years of the authors’ experience, including: (a) studies and research at the undergraduate and graduate levels, both theoretical and practical; (b), teaching experiences at both levels, with repercussion in design competitions within the country and abroad; and (c) professional practice together with Brazilian architects, while taking part in the development of innovative proposals. |
