IN-Integrated With Nature
Park Bridge and Park Park (both presented for Shift Boston) are projects that incorporate renewable/sustainable "integrated" natural systems with architecture. Water, vegetation and energy are the three key natural systems which are a vital part of a healthy environment. Vegetation (trees), filter the pollutants from the air and filter the water run off from the roads. Renewable energy sources should be incorporated into all built forms were possible creating self sufficiancy. Architecture as concieved in layers of solar skins; bridges utilizing the tides to generate energy to power bridge lights and so on...IN, integrated with nature.
