Are animals included in the environment
Abstract
Neglecting animals’ natural habitats creates a gap in the logic of sustainability as the world is not fully anthropocentric. This paper serves as a lesson on coexistence, in an effort to encourage not only the architects but each one of us, to anticipate how architecture and what we do can enable rapprochement between humans, other creatures, and nature. There are different methods and points of view to explore in order to facilitate this acceleration of the inclusion of animals’ rights in our priorities. Some of them being the explanation of the dynamic we have created with animals, their relationship with the environment, how architecture and governmental interference are prime factors in this rapport and what we can foresee for our future.
