Systematic Literature Review and Scientific Maps on Ecological Architecture and Eco-Architecture

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine systematic literature reviews and scientific maps on the subjects of Ecological architecture, eco-architecture, and ecological architectural design. The method of this research is bibliometric analysis, one of the quantitative research methods. The data of the research are publications in the Scopus database between 2000 and 2023. For the analysis, graphics from the Scopus database and the Biblioshiny software program were used. Research findings offer a comprehensive overview of theories, concepts, trends, and publications in the field of ecological architecture, eco-architecture, and ecological architectural design. Additionally, the concepts that stand out in the publications are ecology, sustainable architecture architectural design, environment, green building, design, energy efficiency, architecture design, green architecture, experimental simulation, sustainable design, landscape, nature, sustainable design, thermal design, architectural education, climate change, construction, ecological architecture design. The significance of this research lies in its provision of a conceptual foundation for future studies in the intersection of ecology and architecture. For future research, it is recommended to conduct studies using various databases such as Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, etc., at different intervals over the years.
