Arquitectura

As the sustainability of architecture takes an urgent note, a couple of fundamental questions arise: what is our relationship with nature and what is our role in nature? As we attribute the current environment problems to the way humans have deal with nature, it would be appropriate to examine architecture by returning you some key thoughts that strongly bear on the questions. They are Aristotle's techno and the four causes, and Heidegger's Ge-stell. These crucial notions help us consider the connection between architecture and nature. They stipulate not only what architecture can be about but also more importantly how we can situate ourselves in relation to nature.
