Description

The ideas present in this project attempt to shake a widely held premise that we somehow stand outside, or apart from, nature. Not only are we a part of nature, we are an important part of the whole system.

Thoreau once wrote: "In wildness is the preservation of the world." A century later, when many places were no more, Wendell Berry has proposed this necessary corollary: "In human culture is the preservation of wildness." This statement sums up a philosophy of stewardship that drives the design--creating the literal continuity of an ecosystem as an expression of the larger conviction that there is continuity between the human and the natural world. The project begins to imagine infrastructure as eco connectors throughout the city. The program requirements included an animal rehabilitation center. This eco-connector understands that the rehabilitation of the individual organism is synonymous with a healthy system. Just as a brain creates more connections as it learns, we hope the city will do the same as it grows by reconnecting and strengthening our urban ecology--animals, plants and humans--symbiotically.
