I just posted an interview on V1 Magazine that I conducted with Davidya Kasperzyk, an architect and physical planner based in Seattle, whose practice aims to balance human development with habitat conservation.
“I think that historically societies inherently understood that society was keyed to a functioning ecosystem. So I’m trying to reinsert that as “Criteria One†in any planning study. I think it’s been partially applied through environmental impact statements and critical area ordinances and zoning as a criteria. But I think that society, using GIS, has the opportunity to really start identifying in detail the frameworks of a functioning ecology as the basis for future design.”
