Holism and realism, grounded in the essential sustainability movement of architecture encapsulates the future vision that urban landscapes must embrace to continue to thrive. My degree projects and design ethic, evolve around my view that populations should adapt the life between buildings alongside private, intimate spaces to embed socio-economic and cultural solutions that go beyond current sustainability practices. Re-thinking present tectonics to construct natural, self-growing architecture offers a vision into a world of habitat cities, where nature is dominant. These can offer a solution to counteract the climate crisis whilst also reviving the wellbeing of urban species (including humans). Previous industry experience has allowed myself to implement this natural hierarchy into urban-rural masterplans integrating greenbelt into the city whilst encouraging passive practices. I believe the potential and opportunities are set in place for an ecological future. We are provided with a transitional space to consider and implement how we will adapt during the upcoming decades. It is up to us to decide how and to what extent we will grasp this initiative. “More than ever, sustainability is at stake…We live in a world of profound transformation, so architects have to radically rethink the way we build.” Jean Nouvel, 2017.
