The dislocation of composition: Architecture and eco-sustainability

Abstract

This paper deals with the problem and experiences of "ecological hetero-genesis of the ends", within an architectural context, by defining the 40 year old trajectory of the ecological approach to architecture in a partial and critical balance based on the main results obtained. It results being a context of successes and insufficiencies from which a decisive step in the direction of a phenomenological architectural practice of eco-sustainability can be taken, through tests on both the scale of the nature-city as well as "residential dislocation". The paper deals with these new experiences in order to show the visions of projects and initial realisations. This research deals with the description of a phenomenological approach to design by two new procedures of direct union in relation with the beauty of sense of limit in architecture. Where the sense of limit is extended both to the availability of the resources and the concept of balance of the ecosystem in which architectures are immersed.
