In this research, first, by comparative studies, the measures taken on case samples in specific time periods and their effects on natural ecosystems were investigated. Then the explanation of sustainable development measures used by architects in the design of these buildings was on the agenda. Then the results are presented in an analytical-logical way. The method of collecting information was library and documentary study. Thus, in this book, the effects of the evaluated case studies on the environment are examined and based on the obtained results, the category of design criteria for future structures and the measures that can be taken are discussed. Finally, practical proposals are presented regarding the design of future buildings in order to reduce environmental pollution in line with the goals of sustainable development.
