Abstract

Real estate is now living a huge crisis in most part of western countries. Younger and older generations are not ready to buy new houses or to retrofit the old ones cause the reduction of their purchasing power. New taxes or the increase of those existing were introduced in order to face up the financial and economical crisis. Further in several countries the unemployment rate is above 10% and the expectations are not encouraging. Nevertheless the environmental sustainability and the green architecture are living an endless interest even if people are conscious that the initial economic investment is higher than in an ordinary building. Tax deduction is the primary financial tool developed aimed at incentivizing a wide spread of energy efficiency and environmental friendly technologies, systems as well as materials, but the initial investment is too high. Banks due to financial crisis have dramatically reduced loans. The state of the art highlighted shows clearly the need to set up new strategies by means of a review of paradigms related to growth. The economic growth was never taken into account as an imperfect indicator or as not proper sign of well-being. Governments are strongly committed in increase the size of their Gross Domestic Value within the fulfilment of some goals such as those subscribed in the Kyoto Protocol. Unfortunately a pollutants cutback was occurred only after the 2009 by reason of a goods manufacturing reduction. The correlation among the aspects above mentioned point out some uncertainty about the sustainable development goals until now pursued. Endless economic growth and environmental impacts decrease seem not live together. New development models needed to be set up, including the concept of de-growth. A notion based on the assumption to reduce consumption without a decline in well-being. If planning a new development model is a challenge for the future, its outcomes are very unpredictable, but it is probably the only way available to create a real cooperation among social, economic and environmental needs where hierarchism is not allowed anymore. Obviously within such new model the architectural technology plays a strategic role. The paper deals on some experiences carried out aimed at manufacturing building materials and systems put into practice some guidelines included in the concept of “poor but blooming architecture”.
