| Abstract | ||
| The world is facing significant climate challenges that demand immediate action. Sustainable practices in architecture are essential for addressing these challenges by enhancing energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting environmental resilience. Green education has gained considerable attention as a means of embedding sustainability principles into architectural practices. This research identifies a critical gap in existing literature regarding the clear definition of characteristics, principles, and frameworks for green education in architecture. Through the analysis of existing curricula and prior research, this study pinpoints key trends in green education that support sustainable architectural practices. The findings reveal a variety of green education approaches, incorporating diverse tools and practical strategies essential for preparing students to effectively adopt and implement sustainable practices across different levels of architectural development. The study concluded that integrating green education into architectural curricula is essential for promoting a sustainable future. By providing students with the tools, knowledge, and values required to address complex environmental challenges, architectural education can play a key role in shaping a resilient, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible built environment. Future research should continue to explore and refine these educational strategies, ensuring they evolve alongside the shifting demands of sustainability in architecture. | ||
