* HeY, how do you want.... to go with Common Sense "Or" Common Place ??
Sustainability is nothing but the rigorous use of common sense," - Alejandro Aravena. And if sustainability is merely an application of common sense, then it follows that sustainable construction must be the simplest thing in the world !...But that's not the case, as experience shows. "Why is common sense so uncommon?* asks the architect rhetorically and investigates the reasons himself: -"Because the forces that shape our environment-money and power-follow the commonplace, not common sense." ....Architects adapt to this concept too often because they and their projects ultimately depend on people with money and power. "The typical question in the building sector is: Has this been done before? If the answer is no, people say: Maybe we can try it next time, but for now...."
In this case it doesn't matter whether a solution makes common sense or not,.....the common place usually prevails! Good times....🌱🌱🌅🙏

Pandemic times.... Ecological living... Playfulness!
" If you pray for Rain, you gotta deal with mud too - Denzel Washington"
But If you Learn to Play.... With Mud n Clay"... You can design n create your own Rainbows out of it ! 🌈🌅🌱🌱 Arches, Vaults!
