We are used to quite a harsh experience in the architectural
landscape around us, often environments don’t have a human scale. the
built environment faces, unprecedented
urbanization, accelerating climate change and the need for preservation of
tropical biodiversity. We would prefer
an architecture that is consistent with human feeling, and in which design
decisions are based on observation and empirical verification. The
use of living systems creates a more vibrant and sustainable life for both the
occupants and the city, through porous façades, airy pathways, and communal
gardens” hinting at an “utopian urban future” that is already taking shape. The bottom line is that buildings have to
provide good, healthy environments for human beings, and to inflict the least
possible damage to the Earth’s ecology.
