A case study of sustainable architecture design

Nowadays, with the deteriorating environment, people are increasingly concerned about the ecological environment and sustainable development. More and more architects are committed to sustainable building design and research. In China, designers, professors and students in the architecture realm are encouraged to get involved into sustainable architecture design practically/theoretically. With this background this paper presents a case study of a sustainable architectural design called "Painter's House", which concentrates on the openness and ecology of architecture. It contains concepts and ideas of functional diversity, integrated sustainable architectural design, as well as "eco-box", hoping to induce more profound discussion in the sustainable architectural design area.
