DESIGN REVOLUTION
How modernEco-designs have inspired theVisual aesthetics of Everyday Living
Designers have started a trend by creating
innovative ideas to better our everyday lives
aesthetically and financially. Simplicity can help us
live longer and increase our overall well-being in many
ways. Starting with the intelligibility of our homes
structural design, can clear a path to saving money and
our atmosphere. Positioning windows, door frames
and vegetation in favor of sunlight and winds can be
a money saver (See Elevation Plan). In colder cli-
mates having a centralized fireplace has proven to be
the most
efficient way
to heat your
home, the duct
disperses the
warmth
throughout.
For lighting;
solar bulbs and CFL bulbs can create an interesting
aspect to any home. Other unique designs incorpo-
rate recycled materials such as straws. For cleaner air
bringing the outdoors inside can refresh in multiple
ways with rugs, walls, and fruit.
The sustainable design movement has been
with us all this time. Human beings have only
recently come around to building with an incentive
to preserve instead of demolish. With all the
resources lavishly provided to us by good ol’
Mother Nature, we have finally decided to work
with Her instead of against.
This idea isn’t new, if anything it was lost
for a short period. Let’s look at Native Americans
and their appreciation of nature. From the
moment they where born they were
taught to love and praise the plants,
creatures and their mere existance.
Simple as that.
As time has passed the process
and building materials used have
changed. Development of the existing
space was transformed for the purpose
of a different kind of green, money.
Now getting back to our roots; the
objective of letting nature into our doors and
harvesting the sun for more than getting a tan. Our
designs should be built to blend with the
environment, not discarding what we already
have.
