„Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future“( Charles F. Kettering )

Personal and social change in our global community requires flexible, multi- functionally adapted solutions of our built environment.Unfortunately, most contemporary buildings are the result of conventional thinking in designs of past days.

Architecture should not dictate nature, it should cooperate with it.

Sustainable architecture is preferrably integrated into the natural environment and should be in a symbiotic relationship with it.Earth-covered architecture benefits from the natural balance of temperatures. It’s cooler in sommer and warmer in winter.High contamination facilities can be built with earth covered architecture to reduce impact to nature. Good working/living environment even in underprivileged locations can be created.The curvy forms of the earth-houses are an ideal synthesis between form and function. The emotional archaic form is an hommage to the natural environment.Planning should be centered around mankind, making the house his 3rd skin in context with nature.
