The urgency to respond various problems related to ecological systems in the urban context encourages architecture to be able to provide responsive and adaptive solutions. According to the architectural perspective, this problem can be seen as a potential challenge to create concepts that are able to correlate the ecological system, human behavior, potential areas to be integrated into building design in the urban sphere.
The Center for Green Urban Studies (C-GUS) is a research center that focuses on the development process including planning, designing, implementing, building, and occupying based on a harmonious life towards green urban, city, area, landscape, architecture and human behavior .
