Urban foraging behavior in public green spaces
Urban foraging, the practice of collecting wild plants and fungi in cities, is a widely practiced method of urban food acquisition worldwide. Some studies have shown that enhancing interaction between urban residents and nature benefits human health and well-being. However, research on urban foraging in China remains limited. This study seeks to fill that gap by investigating the social and cultural backgrounds, primary foraging locations, motiva…
Creating ecologically sound buildings by integrating ecology, architecture and computational design
Research is revealing an increasing number of positive effects of nature for humans. At the same time, biodiversity in cities, where most humans live, is often low or in decline. Tangible solutions are needed to increase urban biodiversity. Architecture is a key discipline that has considerable influence on the built‐up area of cities, thereby influencing urban biodiversity. In general, architects do not design for biodiversity. Conversely, urban…
The rights to ground
This article discusses endemic difficulties in addressing complex sustainability problems that arise from a lack of adequate, effective and inclusive provisions for defining and securing human and non‐human rights to ground in an integrative manner. This concerns the rapid decrease in available ground for ecological and human social collective purposes due to construction and other transformations of ground in combination with the perception that…
Sustainability from a Performance‐Oriented Architecture Perspective – Alternative Approaches to Questions regarding the Sustainability of the Built Environment
This article introduces and discusses a series of alternative and interrelated concepts and approaches regarding questions of the sustainability of the built environment and architectural design. The need for this discussion arises from the realization that the majority of current approaches to questions of sustainability in architectural design tend to considerably stifle complexity in approach, problem analysis and definition. This development …
