what is an Eco-house? Eco-architecture sees buildings as part of the larger ecology of the planet and the building as part of a living habitat. This contrasts with the more common notions of many architects, who see a building as a work of art, perhaps on exhibition in a settlement or as ‘frozen music’ in the people-less pictures of glossy magazines.
Some architects see the process of design as a production line with the building as a product to be deposited on a site, regardless of its particular environment or qualities. Eco-houses are closely connected to their site, society, climate, region and the planet.
