Ken Yeang
Ken Yeang is an architect-planner, and one of
the leading ecodesigners, theoreticians, and
thinkers in the field of green design.
Eco-design is designing in such a way that the
human built environment or our design system
integrates benignly and seamlessly with the
natural environment. We have to look at it not
just as designing a building as an independent
object in the city or in the site where it's
located. We have to look at it in the context of
the characteristics of the site in which it's
located, the ecological features and we have
to integrate with it physically, systemically and
temporally.
Physical integration means integrating with the
physical characteristics of the place: Its
topography, its ground water, its hydrology, its
vegetation and the different species on the
particular site. Systemic integration is
integrating with the processes that take place
in nature with our human built environment: The
use of water, the use of energy, the use of
waste and sewers and so forth. Both the human
and the natural must blend together, so there
will be no pollution and no waste. Temporal
integration, means integrating the rate of our
use of the resources in the earth and its
material, and the rate of replenishment.
