      Ecological design as the seamless and

      benign biointegration of technology

      and built environment with nature

page3

      All of our endeavours that impact adversely on the planet’s

      systems, and most especially our endeavours in designing,

      making, using, and recovering, need to be fully guided and

      informed by the science of ecology to meet our

      needs while allowing nature simultaneously to recover and

      thrive. Ecology must play an undeniable central role in every

      instance while carrying out these tasks.

      Ecology is the study of the interactions between the biotic

      constituents in all of its lifeforms and organisms, and their

      abiotic physical environments, acting together as whole

      systems.

      Ecological design is defined as design that is informed by

      ecology so as to conserve, protect, and benefit ecosystems

      and habitats in the presence of human activities, the human-

      made world, and the built environment. It is an approach

      that puts nature at the centre of all design thinking. This

      approach is referred to here as ‘ecocentricity’, a central

      principle in ecological design.
