Structure and environmental integration/consideration
For today’s practicing architect, there is discussion
in regarding structure and nature, and how both work together to create a public good: what any
one person or institution builds and others must live with. Architects and students studying architecture look to the future and they understand
architecture as a dynamic system of relationships, aiming to articulate a vision that
blurs distinctions between digital
and physical, natural and artificial, simulated and observable. Structural form and
architectural form need to be in tune
with its surroundings and environment for a building to occupy an important
and pivotal place in society.
One can feel overwhelmed by the
richness and complexity of such architectural works, and to create a piece of architecture that both embraces structure
and considers its environment, the process of sustainable idea articulation must transform architecture
into a structural and
environmentally sound creation that envelops us. Architecture
is an impressive piece of art and must obey the demands of a
sustainable natural environment.
In a
rapidly changing world with many possible edge-of-control projects there is a need for new technologies and advancements regarding sustainable architectural
practices undertaken by practitioners, academics and students from a broad
range of backgrounds into the field of architecture. The building form should persuasively and elegantly express
its purpose and meaning as well as strive for and express its integral relationship with the natural environment.
