This makes me remember about the movie KINGSMAN where the antagonist likens humans to a virus (when he talks about global warming).

I totally agree with you that architecture will become beneficial only if it follows the valuable measures you mentioned. I believed you covered all the valuable measures that needs to be done in order for architecture to be benificial.

This is another excellent publication @storiesoferne I am glad to be one of your avid readers.

Dear Erne, I think that reading your educational articles are a source of architectural knowledge and, in a way, philosophical ones. The clarity of its exposition makes it a pleasure to learn about the world of architecture, whose products were called inhabitants of World Three within the ontology of the Viennese philosopher Karl Popper. In this post, in particular, you find yourself with a kind of taxonomy of Architecture that somehow reflects your theoretical interests in that discipline, as well as your predilections for some ways of exercising that magnificent art. This last sentence reopresents my interest in good architecture, that is, an art to be appreciated with aesthetic schemes, without leaving aside the love to keep our planet due to the depredation of its vital spaces, for a simple crematistic interest in raising great constructions chaotically. By reading you, it has been possible for me to better locate, firstly, what could be called Naive Architecture, made by our environmentally-friendly aborigines, by the Venezuelan architect Carlos Rául Vilaniena with his proposal for the "Synthesis of the Arts" and finally, not to to tire you, Fruto Vivas's vision of housing as a "tree of Life". From now on I will keep in mind your classification proposal as a guide when trying to evaluate an architectural work. Receive my congratulations. 

Hey man that is a bit too complex for me at this time to jump into this debate...
I am just chilling at the seaside watching sun going down...

But awesome article as always my friend!

Interesting discussion. I really do feel architecture can play a pivotal role in rejuvenating and preserving Mother Earth. It is indeed beneficial to the environment as it is an industry that covers one of our basic needs but how we go about it is what matters. The ideas you have shared makes perfect sense and I am sure the industry players are implementing these strategies as we speak. ( You would know more than I would).  

However, the use of wood in  building homes seems to be contradictory  as forest and woodlands have to be destroyed to create these houses (material and space) . I am sure a living tree gives more oxygen than logwood.  But I guess it is more ecofriendly than concrete. In all situations there has to be balance I guess. 

The most important take away for me is to be "stewards of the environment "as this is where it all starts. The good thing is nowadays, it is a cool thing😄.

very good this architecture and form expressive

I believe that you are raising a very complicated debate here, where, among many aspects, one should also take into account the differences in thinking between East and West. The East, although it does not lack, in my opinion, the same problems of overpopulation that the West has, has nevertheless had an ancestral education, without a doubt very wise, in terms of architecture and the environment. In my country, for example, until relatively recent times, there has been talk of the 'brick boom', that is, building, constructing and building without looking at where or the damage that has been done to an environment, whose first effects they are the multiple destruction that accompanies each storm and is harvested, precisely, in those areas where there has been no respect when building. I think that more or less, the meaning of what I want to say, is guessed by what I will not make my comment more extensive. But I do want to ask a debate question as well: at the rate that Humanity is going ... respectful architecture or architecture to survive? a cordial greeting
Yo creo que planteas aquí un debate muy complicado, donde, entre numerosos aspectos, habría que tener en cuenta, además, las diferencias de pensamiento entre Oriente y Occidente. Oriente, aunque no carece, en mi opinión, de los mismos problemas de superpoblación que tiene Occidente, ha tenido, sin embargo, una educación ancestral sin duda muy sabia, en cuanto al tema de la arquitectura y el medio ambiente. En mi país, por ejemplo, hasta época relativamente reciente, se ha hablado del 'boom del ladrillo', es decir, edificar, edificar y edificar sin mirar dónde ni tampoco el daño que se le ha hecho a un medio ambiente, cuyos primeros efectos son los múltiples destrozos que acompañan cada tormenta y se ceban, precisamente, en esos zonas donde no se ha tenido respeto a la hora de edificar. Creo que más o menos, el sentido de lo que quiero decir, se adivina por lo que no haré más extensivo mi comentario. Pero sí quiero hacer una pregunta de debate también: al ritmo que va la Humanidad....¿arquitectura respetuosa o arquitectura para sobrevivir?. Un cordial saludo

> Is architecture beneficial to the environment?

There is no single correct answer for the question. It is both yes and no. We can say architecture is beneficial when it enhances our living experience while addressing the need of sustainability. Concept like biomimetics and biophilia thrive with in the prism of a yes answer. But I think it is not limited to that.  We can say it isn't beneficial when we don't account environment in the design. When we only design for the sake of design, it definitely not beneficial. Above all, the question is answerable base on the subjective cases we relate to it. 

Hello friend Erne @storiesoferne I greet you from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Receive a strong virtual hug full of blessings, positive energy and lots of light. I congratulate you on your publication, excellent as always and as you already have us used to it. I took the courage to share it from my Twitter account and recommended it to some friends who are better prepared than me for this debate. I am simply amazed at your approach, God willing that the new architecture is taken very seriously for life and for life, remembering that the only planet we have, for now, to live is this, so the effort to save it It commits us all; from the most humble human being to the most exalted of mortals, the earth belongs to everyone. I know some experiences that are being carried out with great success in various parts of the world in relation to recycling, alternative energy, reuse of materials, energy saving ... the same industry shows some improvement in terms of defense of resources and the environment , many humble people, families have become environmentally conscious and are reducing pollution ... in short, everything that is done based on the environment is wonderful, here I have read several posts that deal with this issue. The truth is that I do not feel prepared to enter this debate, I only think as a humble mortal who constantly seeks his redemption hehehehehe. Thank you for publishing this and all the content you publish and will continue to publish. Thank you for your friendship, Thank you for your wonderful leadership within the community. Greetings and blessings.

> Hola amigo Erne @storiesoferne Te saludo desde la República Bolivariana de Venezuela. Recibe un fuerte abrazo virtual cargado de bendiciones, energía positiva y mucha luz. Te felicito por tu publicación, excelente como siempre y  como ya nos tienes acostumbrados. Yo me tomé el atrevimiento de compartirla desde mi cuenta de Twitter y la recomendé a algunos amigos que están mejor preparados que yo para este debate. Yo simplemente quedo maravillado con tu planteamiento, Dios quiera que se tome muy en serio la nueva arquitectura por la vida y para la vida, recordando que el único planeta que tenemos, por ahora, para vivir es este, por lo que el esfuerzo para salvarlo nos compromete a todos; desde el ser humano mas humilde hasta el mas encumbrado de los mortales, la tierra es de todos. Conozco algunas experiencias que se están llevando con mucho éxito en varias partes del mundo con relación al reciclaje, energía alternativa, reutilización de materiales, ahorro de energía... la misma industria muestra alguna mejoría en materia de defensa de los recursos y el medio ambiente, mucha gente humilde, familias han tomado conciencia ambiental y están reduciendo la contaminación... en fin, todo lo que se haga en función del ambiente es maravilloso, aquí he leído varios post que tratan este tema. Lo cierto es que no me siento preparado para entrar  en este debate, solo opino como un humilde mortal que busca constantemente su redención jejejejeje. Gracias por publicar este y todos los contenidos que publicas y seguirás publicando. Gracias por tu amistad, Gracias por tu maravilloso liderazgo dentro de la comunidad. Saludos y bendiciones.

Hi @storiesoferne  That was such an interesting perspective and research. I was bound to read all of the content with the pictures so relatable and beautiful.
I have been faced by such questions on architecture being the nature's destructor but these are the perfect comebacks for such situations as they are best for architecture and  nature. 
We can bring such positive solutions to make architecture beneficial for nature by following  solutions mentioned in your post.
Thanks for such valuable post. Keep flourishing and stay awesome as always.

Hello  dear @storiesoferne This is such an important subject which needs to be addressed. I believe all your points are totally valid but as far as implications of these points are considered, people are very materialistic and bound to budget they do not consider involving such elements much. As there is negative in  world so is positive and such people who are considerate towards mother nature are present as well. 
I believe such practices are not just bound to be performed by the architects and related professionals but by common citizens as well and blogs like yours are such a great initiative to spread a word about such intricate subject.
That was much needed and insightful content. 
Have a wonderful week ahead .
