Ecology

The city is not the opposite of nature. It is one of its possible incarnations - a complex system of relations between people, animals, water, air and space," writes Magdalena Milert, while Kasper Jakubowski stresses that "we need every kind of greenery today: those in XXL format, like large parks, and those on a medium or very small scale." In the face of climate change, dwindling natural resources and urban chaos, one thing is certain: the future of cities must be green, literally and figuratively!

We dedicate this issue to the relationship between architecture and nature, but not through compromise, but a creative alliance. We showcase realizations in which sustainability is not an empty slogan or a fad, but a profound change rooted in everyday architectural practice. We tell about buildings that restore the meaning of the word "ecology." We present solutions that reduce the carbon footprint while impacting biodiversity, community engagement and education.

Ecology in architecture is not the future. It is the present. With each project behind which a conscious architect stands, more and more tangible.
