Abstract

In this research paper, sustainable design is the means to superior living. A design that grows from nature, and merges back to nature. The blueprint design for a three-floor based residential building being modelled for a sustainable architecture is presented in this paper. It is believed that the concept of sustainability came up with passive self-healing design primarily to repair itself. Different type of architectures being evaluated for sustainability and self-healing mechanism in terms of performance, operations, smart material and surveillance factors. We believe that the concept of sustainability with passive self-healing mechanism design primarily to conserve building. The building prices started increasing and environmental problems became evident. Passive self-healing building designs reduced building costs after it is constructed. We believe that sustainable and self-healing mechanism design tends to become usual in future. The maximum performance is recorded for residential and industrial building at 92.45%, the smart material effectiveness in construction for residential stands at 91.34% and in the last the surveillance and scrutiny in propsed building for residential and storage stands at 90.87% respectively. It is the line that we draw between essential and overdone that makes a building sustainable with self-healing mechanism. Sustainability will become a significant element of architecture and this paper provides an insight into this much needed solution. Material like nano-material, reusable material and optimized load material have also been evaluated for the self-healing architectural buildings.
