Class Description
This module is about the foundations of our day-to-day life. Amongst others, soil is a very basic condition of our urban existance. We walk on it, it nourrishes us, it guides rain to the ground water. But the way we planned the surface of our cities and dwellings is often neglecting our primordial needs as creatures. This is why we need to reconsider our design guidelines and our aesthetics while planning our habitat.
In this module we are dealing with soil, but also with humus and its production and the human impact on the natural resources of our survival.
