Nature as infra-structure
Nature as infra-structure
Humans cannot survive without nature. The ecosystems that allow and support live in cities need to be connected.
Nowadays cities act disconnecting nature; acting like that the benefits from nature don't exist in the urban areas (clean air, heat reduction, health, well-being,...).
Green infrastructures serve the interest of both people & nature. Many are already planned (like the urban green corridors); develope them can bring biodiversity back to cities.
We need a different approach for the architecture in the urban green corridors, where it is needed to be a green infrastructure as well. It can be done building an architecture made with natural materials (straw bales, raw earth, bamboo,...); green roofs & vertical gardens.
The aim is to have a livable environment in cities combining the economical needs of facilities in cities with the needs of the communities who live there.
