    An eco-district aims to integrate sustainable development, social equity, and reduce ecological footprint through collaborative urban planning. Key considerations for a successful eco-district include location near public transportation and resources, energy-efficient building design using renewable energy, use of sustainable and local materials, water conservation, sustainable transportation options, and community engagement. The proposed eco-district project in Rasmaksa, Tripoli-kousba, North Lebanon will include approximately 300 housing units mixed with commercial and cultural facilities designed with passive energy strategies and potentially active energy generation.

    Eco-District

    Project
    By: Hind Bitar
    Sustainable
    architecture
    Sustainable architecture is architecture that
    seeks to minimize the negative environmental
    impact of buildings through improved
    efficiency and moderation in the use of
    materials, energy, development space and the
    ecosystem at large. Sustainable architecture
    uses a conscious approach to energy and
    ecological conservation in the design of the
    built environment.
    Main pillars of Sustainability:
    —Eco Districts:
    An Eco district or eco-district (from "ecological" and "district") is a
    neighborhood, urban area, or region whose urban planning aims to integrate
    objectives of sustainable development and social equity, and to reduce the
    district's ecological footprint. The notion of an "Eco district" insists on the
    consideration of all environmental issues, via a collaborative process
    Designing a successful eco-district requires careful
    consideration of a range of factors. Here are some
    key considerations:
    1. Location: The location of an eco-district is critical, as it can impact access to public transportation, resources,
    and the local environment. It is important to consider access to green spaces, water resources, and public
    transportation, as well as the proximity to employment centers.
    2. Energy Efficiency: The buildings in an eco-district should be designed to be energy-efficient, using features
    such as insulation, passive solar design, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances. Renewable energy
    sources such as solar, wind, or geothermal should be incorporated to provide power to the buildings.
    3. Sustainable Materials: Sustainable materials should be used in the construction of buildings in the eco-
    district, such as recycled or locally sourced materials. Building materials should also be designed for
    durability and to minimize waste during construction.
    4. Water Conservation: Water conservation is an important consideration in an eco-district. Low-flow fixtures
    should be used in all buildings, and rainwater harvesting systems can be implemented to capture and reuse
    rainwater.
    5. Transportation: Sustainable transportation options should be provided in an eco-district, such as bike lanes,
    public transportation, and car-sharing programs. This can help reduce the reliance on individual vehicles and
    promote alternative modes of transportation.
    6. Community Engagement: Community engagement is crucial to the success of an eco-district. Residents
    should be involved in the planning and design process, and education and outreach programs can be
    implemented to promote sustainable behaviors and practices.
    7. Economic Viability: An eco-district must be economically viable to be successful in the long term. The project
    should be designed with a clear business plan that outlines the costs and benefits of the project and
    identifies potential sources of funding.

    Mass plan
    Functions:
    ● The project includes approximately 300 houses, (a mix
    of social housing and privately rented or owned
    residences), 9 artist workshops, 1200m² of offices,
    shops, kiosks, cultural facilities, commercial retail and
    service amenities. These buildings will all be eco-
    oriented, either utilizing passive designs or even
    actively generating energy.

    Circulation:
    ● The district is geared toward pedestrians and cyclists;
    yet, the district will also include a parking lot that will
    rest slightly below grade and its roof will “provide a
    green corridor, with commons, playgrounds, urban
    forums, vegetable gardens.”
