By
incorporating, site location, human scale, and natural elements such
as, weather patterns, and local materials into the design of
buildings, projects work with available resources, in addition to
being in rhythm with the natural patterns of nature.
In understanding, the needs of a building, and integrating these
elements, in such a way, that cohesively work together, have proven
to be successful models that ebb and flow with the culture and
seasons of a region.
Creating landscapes, that correspond to site specific project
locations, as well as with the local flora and fauna create natural
habitats for building inhabitants, while encouraging native species
to flourish. |
