Ecosystem-style landscaping and building design is given detailed examination in new report from American Society of Landscape Architects.
November 3, 2007 —
Landscapers, who literally design and dig with nature’s chlorophyll green every day, are placing stepping stones toward the greater architecture design community adopting eco-sustainability. On November 2, 2007, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) unveiled a report intended to instruct architects, designers and facility managers on specific ways (and thresholds) they can craft their buildings into natural ecological fits, sustainability, mitigating pollution and climate change effects.
The landscape architect’s report is part of the standards and guidelines reporting from the Sustainable Sites Initiative—representing a fairly powerful policy influence on architectural designers. The report is laden with specifics with over 200 methods for improving how buildings interact with surrounding ecology. The biology term the ASLA uses for this is: ecosystem services. Ecosystem services is defined as:
A way of describing the benefits of a naturally functioning ecosystem, such as the ways bees, birds or bats pollinate crops; wetlands provide flood protection; or how plants and soils filter water.
The ASLA is applying this understanding to urban, rural and commercial human habitats—in effect making the building as much a part of nature as possible.
The report mainly addresses landscape architects (but is also meant for planners, designers, managers), using a five-tiered structure of identifying necessary eco systems: soils, hydrology, vegetation, materials, human well-being. This is the first of three reports—the final one due out in May, 2009. LEED is planning on adopting the final guidelines.
The principles of the Sustainable Sites Initiative are:
- Do No Harm
- Precautionary Principle
- Design with Nature and Culture
- Use a Decision-Making Hierarchy of Preservation, Conservation, and Regeneration
- Provide Regenerative Systems as Intergenerational Equity
- Support a Living Process
- Use a Systems Thinking Approach
- Use a Collaborative and Ethical Approach
- Maintain Integrity in Leadership and Research
The initiative should have
The initiative should have well-defined goals and a management system in place to provide systematic review and evaluation throughout the implementation and operation phases. If appropriate, the initiative should include a mechanism for long-term management or protection of the project area.

It sounds like a great idea
It sounds like a great idea for housing to be shaped and built to benefit the ecosystem. This would mitigate pollution and delay global warming from happening. The houses would benefit the climate a lot, which would be great for the atmosphere.

Jessica on what they learned
Jessica on what they learned recording their first studio album: "We've learned how to not let people take advantage of us because they might know a little bit more than us. We don't want to be puppets, we just want to know what we're doing with our life and make sure we're comfortable with it. So we've learned to just ask questions and get down to the bottom of why they're doing this, why they're doing that, just so we understand. 'Cause if we're out there—we want to believe in everything that we're selling, in what we're putting out there in the world. It has to be true to us—it's our business it's gonna be our life."
