Response to Place Part 1
-The land and its characteristics are used as a starting point and inspiration to the houses featured.
-Focus on how the buildings are connected to the ground by being built into the earth.
-Buildings blend into and become part of the landscape, at the same time preventing changes to ecological & topological conditions throughout building site.
-The landscape (vegetation and the surrounding view) determines the design of the houses. This may lead to specific profiles or materials used for the building.
-For every case featured in the book, different structures and forms are adapted according to the conditions of the unique site.
-Yenna Chan also talks about the visual impact the buildings have on the landscape and how the designers worked around it.
-When a building does not impose on the site, it aspires the inhabitants to appreciate, and have a deeper understanding and greater connection with the environment.
