| What environmental layout or design could be called "nature-logical"? I would say that it is an "open" one that links many possible organisms into one heterogeneous kingdom of useful relationships and mutually beneficial connections -- among microbes, fungi, plants, insects, birds, mammals, and all the other inhabitants of our world, including the human species. Each individual organism has multiple roles and is interconnected within the system; edges are optimised and resources reused. Problems, limitations and mistakes are embraced creatively, and the environment thrives. There is no need to impose artificial connections from the outside. The design of this self-sustaining ecosystem differs from the formal, monocultural approach, where the parts are mostly disconnected from each other, serve just one single purpose, and require a lot of labour and resources to maintain. | What environmental layout or design could be called "nature-logical"?

| We are in fact the sometimes disconnected parts of one natural whole. Learning from these models and principles, the human addiction to domination and the "mono" attitude could gradually change in favour of dynamic exchanges, symbiotic communities, and novel forms of cultural revitalisation. | We are in fact the sometimes disconnected parts of one natural whole.
