2EXECUTIVE SUMMARYOne Central Park is the ultimate illustration of sustainable architecture. Sustainable architecture seeks toestablish construction on land to ensure that the environment is conserve in as much as a building is putup. Usually construction projects are huge projects that take up large amounts of resources and staff. Theresources are extracted from nature and the earth’s crust. Human resources need to be well managed andtaken care of to ensure the ecology is conserved. One Central Park is a case study demonstrating theefficient use of nature and natural matter while disposing the waste profitably. The Park is as self-reliantas possible. It is constructed on previously owned land and it is sited opposite the University ofTechnology on Broadway. It was re-developed industrial site which borders Carlton Street, Broadway,and Chippendale Way. The contracted was awarded Watpac Construction for the design. The companyconstructed five residential towers across three complexes as a section of the Central Park development inthe county’s CBD.There are many challenges that faced the project. It is documented that there were approximately 360major adjustments based on new concepts, insights, or change in a natural feature. The whole projecthighly depends on nature and seeks to have the highest form of energy optimization. The projectpresented the Watpac construction company with numerous opportunities and it yielded great outcomes.The project outcomes were in line with safety of the construction site, staff, and the future residents of themagnificent creation. Time was managed and the project was slightly delayed as the project team tried tomanage the uncertainties presented to them during the project execution. Just like any other project, thedocumentation was done strictly on a monthly basis to track the project progress.

4INTRODUCTIONOne Central Park in Sydney.It is termed a two-billion-dollar development on the southern edge of the Central Business District inSydney. The development targets the residential market and the site location is Chippendale where theCarlton and United Breweries was formerly located. This is the best-case study for architecturalsustainability as there are social and environmental initiatives that underlie its uniqueness and creativedesigns. It is endowed with spectacular vertical gardens and sits on a landscaped area of about 15hectares. There are several social and environmental initiatives in this development and as a result it isdeemed the best implementation of the sustainable architecture (Anon, 2017). Sustainability seeks to ensure that the future is safe and that the present is enough and can sufficientlymeet the needs of the human beings. According to the Brundtland Report during the world commission onEnvironment and Development, sustainability was denoted as the advancement that met the requirementsof the contemporary age without compromising the ability of future cohorts to meet their ownrequirements [ CITATION Vil \l 1033 ]. The human age has transition from the stone age to barter trade toindustrialization, and later in service delivery. During the industrialization age, a lot of factories were putup and as a result pollution occurred. Pollution affects the environment negatively via the air, water, andsoil pollution. These industries tend to produce a lot of wastes and these wastes are incorrectly disposed.The release of these waste materials largely affects the environment in the present age and in the futureespecially if the wastes are toxic. Several organizations have been formed to address the issue ofpollution, waste management, climatic effect, and soil and agricultural impact of the human activities onland. From an architectural perspective, the sustainable designs integrate the incorporation of capitals andenergy efficacy, healthy buildings, and the use of materials, environmentally and socially subtle landutilization. This should be done alongside developing favorable aesthetic that inspires and reassures ofcreativity in the architectural sphere[ CITATION WCE87 \l 1033 ].
