Habitat


The goal is to create sustainable habitats, ones in which the lines of division between man and nature can be erased, both mentally and physically. 

The scale of these habitats can go from balcony scale, to country scale. 

However, the final goal is a merging of both ecological and economic worlds. 

This gap can easily be bridged even today, if it were not for the archaic mindset that hold us back, the scenario that growth can be unlimited. Im not disagreeing. Im just saying that the design isn’t right. At least not in the habitable realm.

The internet, mushroom biology, and in fact all of nature seems to be full of references to fractal and infinite growth, and we seem to have gone so far from it, that we are quickly coming head on into that perpendicular brick wall of our own making.

 Its not just man that has the problem, it seems that the lack of respect and distance we have kept has made the world of nature also seem to not understand us very well. They have also forgotten that once we lived together. 

These skills could today only be learned from the people that still inhabit wild areas, living WITH the rest of life, not against it.
