Please excuse me Marcus for not engaging during the live streaming. Viewing now and shall share . Thank you for your continual sharing so we may absorb the new principles in design . The disregard of our coastlines, with the tearing down of indigenous forests, flora and fauna, must be addressed. The recent demise of the old " high rise " in Miami is indicative of how we Must study and intelligently develop within each bioregion. After the tsunami in Japan, there was a scientist who studied the remaining trees and plants , thus concluding the indigenous pines were intact and surrounding soils stable. I believe a large project was begun to replant the coastline to berm up any further erosion. I must say the first home my father designed for us , was for the time ethically built. There was no mortgage, as while he worked on large - scale structures in the city, he would resource left over materials. So there we had a home from our own old growth forest, milled locally, fieldstone from our land clearing ( former walls for pasturage), reclaimed bluestone, flagstone, and replaned old cedar for closet interiors. The asphalt tar roofing shingles were most likely the biggest flaw. The home was sited within the forest and hazel nut, black walnuts, beech nuts, and the lovely wild blueberries were our playground. Under the old pine groves, we were afforded the gift of watching the quail and pheasant feeding. Your guest is lovely and brilliant in her regard of how she interprets what has value. Thank you. We were taught to not waste and be creative in whatever was needed for our lives. My grandmother would give the old family clothing from Europe to my mother, who would restyle the yardage into new clothing, home goods, etc. She created a braided rug that held all the woolen remnants of all clothing. Conscious and Education being the vital words. Please check out Rebecca Burgess on you tube who is Fibershed. The video I recall is called a 200 mile wardrobe. People just do not understand economy and ecology are intricately symbiotic. Planned obsolescence must cease. The carbon filament lightbulb being a direct example of such. Part two with your guest please. Thank you again.
