Abstract: The sustainable architecture is one the key areas of research in the architecture and urban planning. In this paradigm, the architecture is designed and implemented with the focus of the environmental factors. The sustainable architecture keeps track of the environment factors and makes sure that the architecture should be resistant to the natural calamities. The sustainable architecture avoids the negative impacts of the environment on the buildings and town planning objects to have the long life of project. This study underlines the aspects of sustainable architecture with the particular focus in Iraq. With the sustainable development, not only the human growth is concerned but the huge elevation in the national economy is implemented because once the buildings are made with higher lifetime with minimum maintenance, there will be minimum loss and higher efficiency in the natural environment. In addition, the sustainable or green architectures provide the good environment and weather to the citizens that improve their health and minimum expenditures on the medical aspects will be there. The sustainable architecture in Iraq is under implementation with all these points in the consideration, so that, higher efficiency in the work can be obtained. The sustainable architecture is adopted with the renewable resources to have the higher level of optimization in the resources and overall logistics. This manuscript underlines the assorted dimensions and perspectives on the self made homes and the architectures that is integrated and associated with the sustainable architecture.
