“To explore and affiliate with life is a deep and complicated process in mental development.”
Edward O. Wilson
“Biophilic design is the expression of the inherent human need to affiliate with nature in the design of the built environment.”
Stephen R. Kellert
Vernaculus “domestic, native, indigenous”
“a building designed by an amateur without any training in design; the individual will have been guided by a series of conventions built up in his locality, paying little attention to what may be fashionable”.
Ronald Brunskill
“Folk building growing in response to actual needs, fitted into environment by people who knew no better than to fit them with native feeling”.
Frank Lloyd Wright
