Sustainable architecture or green buildings have become the common interest of many disciplines in the recent years because the construction is basically in accordance with the environmentally friendly principles. The art of designing and constructing houses, buildings, establishments for the purposes of housing, recreation, a place for communities to meet, education etc. requires thorough understanding about the landscape and how sustainable it would be. In this paper, a thorough review and analysis of buildings which generate energy, conserve and protect environment using biodegradable materials, algal and bacterial based facades, solar energy, creation of natural biomes, cloud forest etc. was done. It is an attempt to allow people to re-imagine the basic imaginations of architecture; but with an exception, that all the projects highlighted here are helping to protect and preserve the environment in one way or the other ultimately leading to sustainable development for sustainable cities at a global level. Green architecture reduces the harm done to the environment through emission, pollution, wastage of components, indoor air quality and to human health as well.
