At One with Nature: Advances in Ecological Architecture in the Work of Ken Yeang: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "At One with Nature: Advances in Ecological Architecture in the Work of Ken Yeang" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

At One with Nature is an inspiring collection of the latest work of Ken Yeang that further advances sustainable architecture and design. This collection features recent projects as he explores how we can achieve harmony between the natural and our built environments to create a better planet by design. Each project features and highlights not only the systems and devices adopted, but also outlines the intentions and ecological considerations demonstrating best practices for how we can proceed moving forward. The book role models our living Earth and shows how we can behave as stewards of our planet.
--Cassia Patel, Oceanic Global Foundation

At One with Nature showcases Ken Yeangs latest ideas, built projects designs, research work and advances in the field of designing with nature, a topic that Yeang has pioneered and developed over many decades since receiving his doctorate in ecological design and planning from Cambridge University. His ideas and work are even more pertinent today with the current state of devastation of Earths natural systems and a biogeochemical cycle that has been extensively and severely impacted by human society. The global environment today is in a state of crisis, but what can society do to address the issues?

Yeangs recent projects are presented with instructive diagrams that provide a basis for action for architects, planners, designers, engineers, and anyone whose daily work impinges on the natural environment. Offered in a highly visual, annotated format, with instructive illustrations of Yeangs theoretical books on the topic, At One with Nature is an invaluable resource that students and academics interested in designing with nature will find both informative and relevant.

All of our endeavours that impact adversely on the planets systems and most - photo 3

All of our endeavours that impact adversely on the planets
systems, and most especially our endeavours in designing,
making, using, and recovering, need to be fully guided and
informed by the science of ecology to meet our
needs while allowing nature simultaneously to recover and
thrive. Ecology must play an undeniable central role in every
instance while carrying out these tasks.
Ecology is the study of the interactions between the biotic
constituents in all of its lifeforms and organisms, and their
abiotic physical environments, acting together as whole
systems.
Ecological design is defined as design that is informed by
ecology so as to conserve, protect, and benefit ecosystems
and habitats in the presence of human activities, the human-
made world, and the built environment. It is an approach
that puts nature at the centre of all design thinking. This
approach is referred to here as ecocentricity, a central
principle in ecological design.

Foreword Form in the world of design is discussed as style shape - photo 10

Foreword
Form, in the world of design, is discussed as style, shape, geometry, or reduced to a question
of functionality. But form, really, is a structure of relationships. This structure, made manifest, is the
configuration of pathways and nodes, thresholds, and edge conditions that regulate flow and exchange.
Every designed entity 'building or neighbourhood' is a spatial structure that dictates where people move,
where they pause, and what they do. There might be a parallel structure for how non-human species
do the same. Overlaid onto this are pathways for abiotic flows of energy , water, materials in the built
environment. Flows inside connect to flows outside, beyond boundaries of shell and site.
Ken Yeang, arguably, is one of few architects to link climate and now ecology explicitly to the
morphology of form and its underlying systemic structure. Yeang's bioclimatic model of the 1980s and
more recently his ecological model have re-imagined the arrangement of parts: space, skin, tectonics,
