As an activist approach that uses natural elements to construct architectural art forms, it really becomes more about the message then the movement. Even as landscape architects our profession has evolved to design more explicitly and harmoniously with existing natural system, but it really started with these types of movements. The realization that our methods of material selection, energy use, design styles, etc were negatively affecting the rest of the world around us, is what helped awaken these ideas of sustainability and ecological designs. The ‘building’ must still continue to evolve and become just as interactive as our landscapes are. I don’t believe the answer is a refusal to incorporate existing technologies or to design in a way that looks less technological, but a fusion of the two working in balance.<br />Anyway great blog and congrats to you (Ed), Drew, and Ben. I look forward to reading more.Hany Hanafyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00094306734022677011noreply@blogger.com
