Abstract

The concept of sustainable development emerged due to the close relationship between the environment and the concept of development, requiring a focus on environmental protection. Renewable energy is a key element in safeguarding the environment, with solar energy being the largest and most important source of renewable energy. Solar systems are a means of directly generating electricity and heat from the sun's energy when integrated into buildings, thus meeting all the energy needs of the structure. However, a challenge arises in separating solar systems from architectural aesthetics and relationships, as they are often seen solely as energy-generating tools without any architectural value.

To address this issue, colored solar systems, particularly those employing chromatic glass technology, have been introduced, possessing limitless architectural potential. Consequently, a research problem has emerged Consequently, research problem has emerged concerning the absence of scientific knowledge about the effect of using colored solar systems using chromatic glass technology on enhancing the possibility of sustainable formation of building facades. Therefore, the research aims were to provide knowledge of the extent to which sustainable architectural formation was achieved using colored solar systems using chromatix glass technology. To achieve the research goal, a comparative analytical approach was used, and indicators derived from the theoretical framework were applied to selected research samples to understand the concept of architectural design and its relationship to sustainable development strategies. Subsequently, the research concept related to sustainable architectural design was defined. Following this, focus was placed on architectural design using colored solar systems. The key conclusions drawn from the research include: Understanding the potential of shaping photovoltaic chromatic glass units helps the designer achieve a balance between energy demand and aesthetics in building facades. Photovoltaic chromatic glass units contribute to environmental conservation as they are manufactured from natural, non-polluting materials and generate energy at high rates. They are also known for their durability and resistance to weather conditions, requiring minimal maintenance. Moreover, their range of colors adds dynamism and vitality to the building facade, thus achieving a harmonious blend of aesthetics and sustainability through the architectural integration of colorful photovoltaic chromatic glass cells in facades
