The natural world is an interconnected system made up of ecosystems and an abundance of species diversity that inevitably supports all life on Earth, including humans. Since our origin the humans race has worked in this system to sustain ourselves. This relationship has impacted every aspect of our current societies and our future as a species depend on the health of this system. Human impact on the natural world has been excessive as our population and our need for resources has grown. Pollution, habitat loss, extinction and climate change is rampant. A rift has been created, one where humans have severed the relationship with the natural world. Our urban centres do not support natural functions and even within our arts; music, poetry, film and children’s books have had terms dealing with the natural world replaced with terms for human made objects. It is time for change. A paradigm shift is required, one where humans and nature can once again live with together in a symbiotic relationship - for the benefit of both. This project proposes a reconnect and an alternative way of thinking, that can alter our current development strategies. Where the needs of all organism are considered and the reuse of neglected space is important. The project will add to the architectural discourse by adding to the discussion around regenerative sustainability and deep ecological thinking. This is necessary not only for the health and flourishing of our future ecological systems but also for human physical health and mental wellbeing. mi2026 Architecture MArch (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-13: Climate action SDG-15: Life on land 2022-01-19T07:47:20Z 2022-01-19T07:47:20Z 2022 2021 Mini Dissertation * A2022 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/83388 © 2019 University of Pretoria.
