Merging several passions together, predominantly the natural world, design and wellness. Exploring phenomenology in Architecture. Understanding that health stems from a deep connection to nature and ourselves. There are so many distractions in modern living. It seems we have lost our way. In my recent studies I learned that over 95% of the young architecture students today had no concept of our connected to nature. I am convinced that this disconnection is the root of all dis-ease.
‘Something struck me profoundly when I was I travelled in India. The young barefoot beggars that lived on the streets (dirt streets) had an incredibly brightness and aliveness in their eyes. I contemplated on this over time, seeing it in other countries too. Combined with my experiences of camping and connections to nature I also noticed this same phenomenon.’
Another interesting fact to consider is that the Building and Construction Industry is responsible for the highest amount of waste at 12.7 million tonnes (Mt) with 7.4Mt in hazardous waste (2022) within Australia. The second highest is the Fashion Industry.
‘Designers and Architects are responsible for our future.’
YOYUU+ hope’s to ignite inspiration or aspiration towards a deeper connection to this crucial element that is missing in most of todays designs. Through the phenomenology of architecture and the practice of sustainable design exploring what it is that brings balance, comfort and ease to the dwellers.
