This quote got me thinking on Architecture and our artificial umwelt. Whenever we start thinking about human's umwelt we want to think of nature, the sky, the green grass and woods that surround us, the seas and every organism that lives in the planet. We have guarded ourselves from this nature though. Since humans began to create a social world for themselves they created and built and artificial world to protect themselves from their own environment (natural "disasters"). Architecture is the simplest and most primitive example of an artificial umwelt. Humans became designers of their own umwelt, we have destroyed it, appreciate it and feel it. | This quote got me thinking on Architecture and our artificial umwelt.

I wanted to work with music and bacteria and that lead me to find works of people that tried to influence another organisms through music, one of the most common examples is plants. I found information of people that claimed that classical music helped their plants grow better. This lead me to find more about the electrical signals in plants, plants do have electrical signals and can feel (to call it somehow). | |||
