Where in prefabricated home design do we see a great strive towards introducing an ecological solution? Prefabricated homes are great. Sustainability and an affective ecological solution is key to the future of this planet and our resources. I see two parelles of great ideas but what is the future of architecture capable of when somebody focuses their attention on creating a crossroads of these two ideas?
This is something that many design school and professionals have not quite come to yet. This idea of architecture and nature as the biggest interest when it comes to the general subject of design. How do we transform architecture into a self sustaining organism of nature... like the rest of the living things. Buildings constantly take away, use energy and resources in it's lifecycle. We need to figure out how to build a building the same way nature produces a tree or an animal. The future of architecture is to design a self sustaining premises that does not harm the global ecology but in time give to mother nature and save the planet from dying off.
He uses the word "biomimicry"in the video. A quick search led me to a great page on the some more insite on the ideas that fortify the concept.
The idea of a prefabricated home is amazing. It's a new way of looking a residential homes and is starting to become a huge industry. I find this subject of modular design incredible as it can greatly improve our efficiency and way we build in the modern day. If we can do this now with residential, what are the possibilities we do this with every kind of construction?
