Design can deliver an environmental benefits. In the wilderness of South Africa, camped a unique college for girls. This shot is not beautiful but richly, exotic and solitude environment for young women to study. This environment is the product of "green" design where pollution is limited and health hazards are at a minimum. Why in the United States we have Prisons in the wilderness and schools in the city limits? We are keeping the "bad guys" healthy and putting the lives of our children at health risk, pollution. If you're still not sure about this design, revise Pink's studies, because pollution is not only causing health risk, "emptying pockets" but sending us "six feet deep" in the ground at a very young age....something to think about.
Wow, Carlos! That's a great observation contrasting prisons and schools. You're right; we should shove the felons in the urban jungle and tuck the students in the wooded wonderland.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if at some point we actually do manage ti decrease pollution to the point where that line between city and country blurs? I'm hopeful that eventually that will work. Surely fresh air would be nice for everyone, prisoners and students alike.
