Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals in Building Projects

Building designers are attempting to integrate the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into projects.  This has limited the development of novel approaches as well as new building design methodologies that specifically aim at attaining the agenda’s targets.  To help building design teams achieve the meaningful integration of the agenda’s five Ps – people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership, this paper proposes two analytical mapping tools for use during the integrated design process.  They track the integration of SDGs in the building projects and analyze the building design approaches and visions in reference to the goals.
