Description
Japan 6: Detail (a) Highlights Relevant to Sustainable Design:
We can build cultural memory into our architecture and personalize objects in our world.
The gateway at this temple includes little stones that visitors place on top as a means of signifying their visit. Years later when I was in Idaho, I saw a gate that reminded me of this simple but meaningful way to mark an entrance. See sketchbook USA 2: Detail (a).
The circles on the right are the metal hilts for swords. They include openings that are ornamental to personalize the weapons for the warriors. Local craftsmanship and manufacturing has the potential to reemerge in the twenty-first century. Local equals less transit costs of fuel and less emissions. Part 5, "Conclusions," of this book speaks more to the sustainability advantages of local production in the chapter "Local Future."
Author and illustrator: Charlie Szoradi is an architect, inventor, and the CEO of Independence LED Lighting. He writes about many other topics related to less emissions and local production through his extensive travels around the world.
