ABSTRACT
As environmental concerns present some of the most pressing issues to the world, both professional and academic architects have begun to address how planning and built form affect the environment. Although the term build environment has come to mean different things to different people, one may state in general terms that it is the result of human activities that impact the environment. It essentially includes everything that is constructed or built, i.e., all types of buildings, chemical plants, roads, railways, parks, farms, gardens, bridges, etc. Thus, the built environment includes everything that can be described as a structure or "green" space. Generally the built environment is organized into six interrelated components:
Products
Interiors
Structures
Landscapes
Cities
Regions
