When talking about saving energy and using low materials to build amazing constructions, that serve both the need of the current generation and the future one, it is quite hard to practice and put it into reality but it is possible.
Low-tch material like lumber, stone, timber are frequently disregarded despite the fact that using locally sourced and made materials has the lowest carbon impact. Even though these typical materials can appear uninteresting, an architect might create something novel out of them by using some creativity and technical know-hows.

As viewed in the pictures -below- it is a very creative to turn the same building materials used centuries ago and turn them into something very futuristic and next-gen looking.

\We can also take as another example which is the educational building in Mozambique. Students from the Bergen school of architecture designed an educational building that is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. the highlight of the project is a rainwater collecting roof made from corrugated iron sheets, the construction reached a total cost of 8500USD.

All in all the future of architecture must not go unto these very high technology machines and energy consuming sources, and non renewable energy. Instead we should opt for renewable energies ( solar energy), and not only make more room for green spaces but make them a priority when designing any architectural building, also embrace the use of low cost materials such as ( pollution absorbing bricks, cooling bricks, Photovoltaic Ventilated Facade, translucent wood, rammed earth, self healing concrete, wood…).
