Mother Earth Day and its relationship with architecture
Architecture in its history has maintained a dialogue with the environment. Sometimes a clumsy dialogue, on other occasions a successful dialogue, but the relationship they entail. Earth Day is an opportunity to reimagine architectural work with a vision that adopts greater environmental responsibility.
Contemporary architecture in Latin America, specifically, has learned to use its surroundings to preserve a harmony with the natural. It is the geopolitical and cultural conditions that have promoted a Sensitivity in current architects in the use of regional materials and sustainable construction techniques.
On the other hand, architecture is not static, it is transformed and lives according to its conditions in the present, and at present, Architecture has served different branches to grow. Urbanism, landscape architecture and engineering begin to join the architectural field, not as a means for architecture, but as an indispensable resource for making cities that respond to the environmental challenges of the moment. In Mexico, for example, there is greater awareness of their water problems and architects have turned to their sister branches to start creating architecture as an infrastructure that not only recognizes the challenges of water, but also use them in their favor for the creation of habitable spaces with responsibility and public spaces that They improve the quality of life of an urban and social nucleus.
There is still a way to go in architecture, however, dates such as Earth Day are a reminder of the metamorphosis achieved and the objectives still to be achieved.
