Today’s technology allows us to walk around all the cities and towns of our world. Amazed, but also confused, young and future architects reach for someone else’s ideas, neglecting their own. Architecture has always adapted to nature, and as nature changes, so does the design of buildings, roads, bridges, and all other parts of human minds and hands. Nature often shows us that what is not compatible in thought is actually compatible in nature. I am talking about colors, shapes, thin trees with huge crowns, bays, vast plains on which a hill or a grove suddenly rises. Following the forms of nature, observing these miraculous processes, weather events, winds that come from somewhere and go who knows where, new architecture is born.

This contribution is part of our ongoing survey “TOO MUCH? What is just enough?” where we collect personal reflections on excess and balance in life, architecture and design. We are gathering diverse, thought-provoking answers that will help shape future discussions and content.
