ECO-ARCHITECTURE 2008
Second International Conference on Harmonisation Between Architecture and Nature
23 - 25 June 2008, Algarve, Portugal
Eco-Architecture ought to be in harmony with nature, including its immediate environs. Decisions have to be taken on ecological grounds concerning locations, siting and orientation, as well as the well-informed choice of materials. Eco-Architecture, wrongly seen by many in its origins as dull, inelegant and mundane, is providing imaginative and expressive solutions driven by a generation of highly creative designs. It has important cultural as well as architectural impacts. The Conference aims to provide a forum for discussing the many relevant aspects in the eco-architecture area.
