Re-Thinking The Green Belt: Sustainability And Development In Growing Cities, Maria Saavedra
Re-Thinking The Green Belt: Sustainability And Development In Growing Cities, Maria Saavedra
Architecture Thesis Prep
"One of the major goals of this research is to study the relationship between nature and technology as urban generators. I agree with Lisa Tilder and Beth Bostein, who state that instead of using architectural technology to return nature to some impossible, pre-human pristine state, we should consider fully employing the power of architecture to produce new forms of nature.
