This morning I discovered that there is an initiative in Melbourne, Australia to have local residents install 10,000 rain gardens to protect the cities natural waters. The initiative has really taken off with over 7,000 gardens already installed. 10000+ Raingardens contribute to healthy waterways

Gardens by the Bay

This morning I came across the article, ‘Biophilia will definitely change your way of designing forever’. On an instinctive level biophilia has always been a driving force in the work I pursue. The desire to merge the ‘wild’ with the human landscape has always been a a reoccurring theme for me on an instinctive level. While the concept of biophilia is quite new I believe that this concept  has been a driving force in design for as long as humans have been engaged in design.
