Aspectul ecologic în procesul de design

Abstract

For centuries, humans have chosen to force their natural environments to conform to their wants and desires. This attitude of transformation rather than conformation has led to a host of problems. Buildings and other structures are built without consideration of their environments. This leads to inefficient energy use, pollution, and water shortages. Ecological design seeks to conform to the environment and substantially reduce energy consumption. By carefully considering the impact the natural environment has on a structure, it is possible to utilize the environment to improve overall energy consumption of life.
