The paper presents the concept of sustainability from an architectural point of view as energy conservation for future human societies through the use of contemporary design solutions appropriate to the requirements of the community and the spatial environment while The paper deals with the subject of sustainability from a logical point of view and methodology of architectural design and compare it with what is now common use of smart materials technology in solving environmental problems as a solution of environmental sustainability in architecture, the paper will address the city of Baghdad as an application model for this. The paper presents the concept of sustainability from an architectural point of view as energy conservation for future human societies through the use of contemporary design solutions appropriate to the requirements of the community and the spatial environment while avoiding the use of imported advanced technology that leads to waste energy. This contradiction between the use of technology, which is the largest source of energy consumption, and the primary goal of sustainability in energy conservation, pushed the research to address the issue of sustainability by finding design solutions away from the use of modern technology, which is now considered smart materials one of the most important applications currently. Sustainability is the optimal use of the available resources and capabilities, whether human, material, natural, balanced, effective, environmental and urban without wasting the gains of future generations. It was mentioned at the World Conference on Environment, Development and Sustainability. It was formulated (to meet the needs of current people without affecting future generations to meet their future needs) and four goals have been set for them within the OECD framework: 1 - Resource Efficiency; 2 - Energy Efficiency; 3 - Environment Compatibility. Integrative organization and curricula.
