some quotes
"...the artificial body is globalized into a vast electronic network mirroring the internal electricity of the nervous system...one ecosystem in which the distinction between culture and nature cannot be easily made" p.41
"...it is the ongoing extension of the house that has produced the idea of a single ecosystem whose flows can be managed with new ecological principles..."
"...Ecological design must rethink the house rather than simply recirculate a generic suspect image..."
"..."expendable and expandable" houses. Everything is mobilized.
At one moment, the house is described as a portable prosthetic
skin and at another the car is described as "a mobile extension
of the house." All the accessories of modern life become housing
elements. "Car, boat, plane, motel, vacation cabin, trailer,
restaurant, theatre, etc., are extended home roofs...At most, the physical house
is but the "home base" in a network..."
"...it becomes increasingly obvious that architecture is literally carved into the flow of images. Ecological theories of flow are more useful to the architect than ever before. Recycling (ecological theories) will inevitably be recycled"
