What “Living Responsibility” mean? It can mean a lot, depend in the subject/ scope. But for me as a designer, living responsibility mean: “When we take to design something, we must try to set high goals for an ecological future .“

To set high goals for an ecological it can start easily from 1 simple worlds: 3R’s. -Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The 3R’s of reduce, reuse and recycle have been considered to be a base of environmental awareness and a way of promoting ecological balance through conscious behaviour and choices. 

In design, it also called: “Sustainable design”. Sustainable design means ” to eliminate negative environmental impact”. It is a kind of design meant to yield products that are made only of renewable resources. Furthermore, products made though sustainable design are intended not to seriously impact the environment either when they are being created or when they are being used. These products are also often designed to allow the users to feel more connected or to relate more closely to the natural environment.

Sustainable design is also called “environmental design“. It is also sometimes called “environmentally sustainable design” or “ESD.”

I know, it isn’t as easy as it sounds! but, we should think and care about that. It’s called “Resposibility !” . (evi)

Architects :Shuhei Endo
Location :Sayo-cho, Hyogo pref.

This building is designed for the client who is requested that all people who will visit this place including the inhabitants of Hyogo profecture, improves the interest for global environmental concerns and be able to experience various approach as the lace of environmental study.

It was created the new environment architectural space that colud share the point of contact with nature and evironment providing a keyword calle ”the circulation in relaiton with nature for the request’

The architect has designed the Bubbletecture H, which stands out in the middle of beautiful Japanese countryside. The tastefully designed building looks like a bubble and has a theater/lecture hall, a bookshop/gallery and a workshop as well. Though the design looks futuristic, it fits perfectly into the natural landscape. The strangest part of the building is, it stands above the ground and is supported by 16 five-foot wide beams and leaves the land and soil unspoiled. The building is sustainable and is inspired by nature’s cyclical systems. Air circulation happens easily, harvests rainwater and one could use it for irrigation as well. The most important part of this design is the green factor of the design itself!

Though building a structure like this would cost a lot of money and the soil may not allow for digging, it could be incorporated wherever possible. The idea of non intrusion to the soil, green technology, rainwater harvesting and of course, air circulation make it a very applicable design and thought.

The material was chosen not only for characters on the maintenance free or the low maintenance but also of the quality that acquires the form the oneness with a natural spectable obtaining the expression of arhitecture that cooperates with the natural environment that changes and grows up.
