This book contains most of the papers presented in the Eco-Architecture 2010 conference, which was the third edition of the International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature. Previous editions, that were very successful were held previously in the New Forest, UK, in 2006 and the Algarve, Portugal in 2008 and demonstrated the importance of a forum like this to discuss the characteristics and challenges of such architectural vision. Eco-Architecture implies a new approach to the design process intended to harmonise its products with nature. This involves ideas such as minimum use of energy at each stage of the building process, taking into account the amount required during the extraction and transportation of materials, their fabrication, assembly, building erection, maintenance and eventual future recycling. Presentations in the conference were related to topics like building technologies, design by passive systems, design with nature, ecological and cultural sensitivity, life cycle assessment, quantifying sustainability in architecture, resources and rehabilitation, and issues from education, research and practice. Case studies from different places around the world were also presented.

NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:
Por que procurar design na natureza para benefício da sociedade humana se a Nomenklatura científica já sentenciou que o design é ILUSÃO e são hereges os que teoricamente propõem a detecção empírica de design na natureza.
Ué, não dizem por aí que a teoria do Design Inteligente impede o avanço da ciência? Qual ciência, caras-pálidas?
Fui, nem sei por que, pensando que mais dia menos dia e a Nomenklatura científica vai ter que debater a questão de design na natureza. Quem viver, verá!
