As
we
long
know
by
now,
our
built
environment,
as
we
humans
do,

As in every living organism, building parts slowly deteriorate till they die. Full demolition is uncommon these days, but when it happens it comprises a ritual of transition from live to death, in a let-go dismounting ceremony that celebrates the buildings life contribution to the community. And they go back to being earth, just like we do. It seems far away when architecture used to be rational, static, mainly functional. Urbanization understood as a polluting and standardized business: we then fed weapons of bliss obstruction. Social, cultural, technological and biological synergy has helped it to evolve to todays awakening: a communion of the natural and man-made. The environment we live, consciously alive.
