"Architecture can enhance our lives if you include ecological processes in your design from the beginning. As an ecological architect, you can offer diverse spaces to inhabitat by connecting
your buildings to ecosystems the size of neighborhoods and regions and by making natural systems central to your design. Your ecological architecture would provide urban environments that are
dramatically productive and that can contain both human-driven needs and nature's needs in increasingly dense settings. AuthorBrook Muller understands that your design tendencies influence your
working methods and impact the "greeness" of your buildings, so Ecology and the Architectural Imagination explains design strategies and emphasizes the importance of your poetic judgement when
you're dealing with complex and dynamic ecological systems. Muller also speculates architectural possibilities when ecology is embedded in the design process from conceptual phases onward, how
these impact the architect's role, and how ecosystems can inspire architectural space making and order. The goal is to empower you with ecological literacy, critical thinking, and collaboration
skills so that you can remake our cities"--
