        abstract = {As environmental concerns and energy demands grow, 
architecture must align with sustainability and climate adaptability. 
Traditional climate-responsive design utilizes passive strategies, 
local materials, and community wisdom to maintain comfort 
without external energy inputs. On the other hand, contemporary 
methods often depend on advanced technology and imported 
systems, which may lack long-term sustainability. This paper 
compares traditional and contemporary climate-responsive 
architecture based on principles, materials, efficiency, and future 
viability to evaluate which approach offers better sustainability for the built environment.},
