Abstract

The first buildings were constructed half a million years ago to provide shelter from the elements and protect against foes and predators. Buildings were transformational in terms of supporting the social stability required to foster human settlement and development. However, to mitigate global warming and to safeguard and sustain our health and the environment, buildings themselves must now be urgently transformed.
