What will a sole have to do with building? Where is the first leaf of a tree, up or down? In which direction does the first branch come out? or what is a tree like inside? These are some of the questions with which the architect Javier Gómez Pioz, father of bionic architecture, provoked the audience of the SFS 2022 Awards, in the inaugural conference that he offered on the influence and relationship of natural habitats in sustainability and the well-being of the economy and companies.
Some of the ideas he shared were:
→ «From the point of view of sustainability and deep environmentalism, architecture must be conceived as the integral management of materials and energy, whose complete cycle covers from the source of resources to the landfill, throughout the entire life of the building. projected system.
→ “Instead of sustainable development as the goal, with unlimited quantitative development, we must opt for sustainable well-being, that is, economically and ecologically sustainable well-being and quality of life.
→ «The integral management of materials and energy is learned in nature».
→ Quoting Antoni Gaudí, Javier Gómez Pioz, left us some great advice: «The great book that is always open, and that should make an effort to read, is that of Nature. The others have come out of this one, and have the interpretations and equivocations of men».
