In my book, I deal with organic architecture, which incorporates all relevant
parameters of a building into the planning process. These include, as well as technical, social
and climatic parameters, also many other parameters involved in a building which forms an
integrated whole – an organism – with the landscape, the location and the people who live
there.
Mankind has always taken nature as an example, as a goal and a challenge in its perfection.
Nature is in many ways a source of ideas for the creative human being, but also a
counterpoint to one’s own work. Serving as role models are both the energetic and
constructively optimised forms that can be found in nature as well as its adaptability and
versatility. From nature’s rich bounty, natural scientists, engineers, architects and artists draw
knowledge and inspiration.
