Learning From Nature - Landscape Architecture and Park Design Fundamentals

 

What are nature’s rules and how do they impact the built structures and places we’ve created?

Although humans have been altering their environs with ever increasing rapidity for centuries, we have rarely created objects or places that have the long‐lasting power of those created by Nature. While we can certainly point to a few remnant objects or places more has been lost than preserved. Why is that? We certainly have the smarts for creating amazing structures, objects, and places. This white paper highlights how to use nature as a model for the design and build environment.
