The Importance of Sustainability in Architecture

In China, you've made an extraordinary set of buildings forming a hostel with a round earthen core and woven bamboo cocoons. You've said we don't need starquatics, but we do need beautiful, iconic buildings. Do you mean buildings that can inspire us to use these kinds of materials in a more sustainable way or how would you describe it? I think beauty is a formal expression of love. It's a harmony that goes the process, the context, the social context,. And of course the harmony within the nature and the natural resources. This is the most powerful tool that we have as architects.
