“In the quest for survival, success, and fulfillment, the ecological view offers an invaluable insight. It shows the way for man, who would be the enzyme of the biosphere and its steward, enhancing the creative fit of the environment and realizing man’s design with nature.”

From Design with Nature, by Ian McHarg.

“One is the objective of giving the richest, most plastic, and most satisfying form to the place that is being organized; the other is to always concentrate on that space as an arena, volume, and background for human life and activity.”

Landscape for Living, by Garret Eckbo.
