SEARCHING THE ARCHITECT´S GREEN HEART - NEW TECHNICAL PARADIGM OR RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC THINKING

Abstract

Is it possible to think globally and act locally? We have to point out, that the built environment is a great spiritual and material treasure. The knowledge of architectural history, art, philosophy and the abstract work of engineers is the way we have to follow. But an even more precious treasure is natural environment which we have to learn again to respect and honor. We have to take into account natural resources and landscape, and our work in the field of built environment has to focus on the natural and social aspects for long time. Probably this is the most important lesson in higher education, beside the technical knowledge. The knowledge of Past and Roots, enhanced by current Craftsmanship to create home for the next generations in our Globe.
