Modern technology provides a better opportunity for people to live easily and conveniently. Using a car is faster than taking a walk or riding a bicycle and tends to be more convenient. People started to change the transport mode from riding a horse to use the train when this modern technology was invented; people change their behaviours to be more dependent on new technology. However, since the new technology is mainly operated by fossil fuel, the more technology we use the more carbon dioxide is to be released to the atmosphere, creating global warming. In the past, people tend to use traditional technology, which is mainly operated by the human and animal muscles, emitting lower carbon dioxide for operating than the new one. This paper discusses the impact of the utilisation of modern technology in architecture in relation to global warming.
