The concept I've chosen is ecological design.
My focus will be on minimizing the the use of destructive materials, and rather be using replenishable materials. Materials such as glass, metal/aluminium and plastic.
When it comes to plastic, i will be using ETFE ( fluorine-based plastic) because of its ability to reliably regulate environmental conditions within the building through UV transparency.
Through the article "What is ETFE and Why Has it Become Architecture's Favorite Polymer?" - https://www.archdaily.com/784723/etfe-the-rise-of-architectures-favorite-polymer, and "Ecological architecture" - http://www2.uiah.fi/projects/metodi/13k.htm#eko.
I've chosen the words; Replenishable, Functionality, Environmental conditions.
Theory: Why are we acting like there's a planet B? Ecological architecture design is able to be a part of changing that particular path were on; leading towards destruction. Through replenishable materials and their functionality, we have the ability to reliably regulate environmental conditions.
