“I think buildings should imitate ecological systems. Ecological systems in nature before we had human beings you know interfere with them exist in a state of stasis - they are self-supporting, self-sustaining.” ThinkingShouldHumansSelfStatesNatureHuman BeingsExistenceSupportBuildingArchitectureInterfereEcologyEcologicalEcosystemsSustainingStasis Author:Ken Yeang
“If you look into the way that materials are used in an ecological system you'll notice that you'll find that there is no waste. The waste of one organism becomes food for another and everything's recycled in an ecological system whereas in our human built environment there's a throughput system. We use something then we throw it away... We have to imitate nature and try to re-use everything we make as human beings or recycle them - when we cannot re-use or recycle them we should try to reintegrate them back into the natural environment.” IfsWayShouldTryingHumansLooksUseUsedNaturalHuman BeingsEnvironmentMaterialsWasteBuiltOrganismsEcologicalNatural EnvironmentRecycledBuilt Environment Author:Ken Yeang
