Human ecology is the research of the interrelationships among people and their surroundings, drawing on varied fields from biology and geography to sociology, engineering, and structure. Steiner admirably synthesizes those views throughout the lens of panorama structure, a self-discipline that calls for its practitioners to consciously attach people and their environments. After laying out 8 ideas for knowing human ecology, the book’s chapters construct from the smallest scale of connection—our homes—and extend to neighborhood scales, areas, countries, and, eventually, learn worldwide relationships among humans and nature.
In this age of weather switch, a brand new method of making plans and layout is needed to examine a livable destiny. Human Ecology offers architects, panorama architects, city designers, and planners—and scholars in these fields— with undying rules for brand spanking new, inventive considering how their paintings can form a colourful, resilient destiny for ourselves and our planet.
