  • Abstract:
    The paper brings together many current themes of interest and stimulates the reader to be aware that in creative work there has to be something beyond technical competence; there has to be a committed energy, desire and love in the work being created. The author confirms that buildings modify climate; they influence behaviour and culture; they affect the distribution of resources and the ecological pattern of our planet, whilst human aspirations can only be met when climate, buildings and people are in balance.
