As we head towards the start of a great and large ecological movement, we realized that people are all in all at the mercy of nature. Humans creates and redesign tools in nature that functions. By doing so, humans acknowledges that there is in fact a gap between people and nature. In this respect, we have all be mistaken. As the planet dies away, we are realizing that humans are not god.
"We are first and foremost biological beings."
By creating cities, we have moved ourselves from what our human bodies are used to and instead, into an alien setting where everyday our bodies are challenged to the max.
“Our health is precariously connected to the natural ordering system of the planet. The man made environment should fully realize this connection and support the users health.”
Today’s world, architecture is seen as the battle between gravity and imagination and an understanding of sense and space. No longer is architecture about adapting to nature. It is now seen as an adaptation to cities.
