Author: De Lucchi, Michele
This book looks at the Earth Stations of the legendary Italian designer and architect Michele De Lucchi and his multidisciplinary studio, AMDL Circle. The Earth Stations are a new typology of building conceived to foster productive human relationships – living monuments created to celebrate the importance of humanity. The book puts this new building typology in dialogue with experts from a variety of disciplines, who reflect on the ways that spaces are designed.'What can we as architects do for the world to come?' asks De Lucchi here. 'If we do not get used to thinking with a sustainability mindset, building the greenest house in the world will not make the slightest difference, because inside we will be continuing to behave like irresponsible consumers. Consequently, we must intervene with a new way of thinking, through the qualities of the space we can foster that mutually beneficial behaviour that enables people to get along well together.'
