eco friendly

Wright always claimed that he liked to build organic architeture that he liked to seem like it was natuarly growing out of the landscape an example is the massaro house that is beuatiful and was actually built after frank wright died. The huts that the natives lived in and the cave dewellings of the rock inhibitors were the best eco friendly builings around because it was all natural. In some places like africa shelter is still built this way. Gaundi like to use nature as his guide. he liked to use trees in his work and also tiles.When i look at some of his work i think of things to do with nature. For example his building sagradam familia looks amazing it looks as if it is made out of wood. Today there are webites advertising buildings that are made more enviromently friendly. They are including features like solar heating so peoples homes can be heated up natuarlly. One that i thought was a really good idea was rainwater catchment. The houses are made so the rainwater us catched and then used for driking, washing ect. Apparently a lot of todays artitectures are looking for ways for houses to be built more eco friendly. such as making houses out dirt. Im not to sure about the dirt aspect but as for collecting rainwater and solar heating i think these are great ideas! and all eco friendly.
