Citas de Ken Yeang

• I think buildings should imitate ecological systems. Ecological systems in nature before we had human beings you know interfere with them exist in a state of stasis - they are self-supporting, self-sustaining.

• In my heart I believe that biology is the beginning and the end of everything. It's the biggest source of ideas, the biggest source of invention. Nobody can invent better than nature and so if you like nature is my biggest source of inspiration.

• Aprovechar mejor el espacio, mejorar el aislamiento, conseguir que entre más luz natural en los edificios, reducir el consumo de energía de los sistemas de aire acondicionado y calefacción, asegurarnos de que la calidad del aire interior sea buena, que tengamos más oportunidades de ventilación natural en las estaciones intermedias. Estas son algunas de las cosas que podemos hacer.

• I think green buildings are extremely important but it's only part of the equation. A lot of people think that if I put a green building everything is going to be fine, but actually it's not just the green buildings we need, but green businesses, green governments, green economics. We have to extend the greening of buildings to our business and our lifestyles - that is the most important thing to do next.

• No debemos fijarnos sólo en los edificios nuevos, sino en los ya existentes, porque es un problema aún mayor que el de los nuevos edificios que se construyen. Renovar los edificios existentes y hacerlos ecológicos es tan importante como diseñar nuevos edificios ecológicos.

• El ecologista tiene una visión mucho más amplia y holística del mundo. Nos fijamos tanto en el entorno natural como en el construido por el hombre y en la conectividad entre ambos: cómo interactúan y se relacionan el entorno natural y el construido por el hombre.

• If you look into the way that materials are used in an ecological system you'll notice that you'll find that there is no waste. The waste of one organism becomes food for another and everything's recycled in an ecological system whereas in our human built environment there's a throughput system. We use something then we throw it away... We have to imitate nature and try to re-use everything we make as human beings or recycle them - when we cannot re-use or recycle them we should try to reintegrate them back into the natural environment.

• I'm eternally optimistic about the future. I believe that if we are committed towards it and if we continue to educate people and get the whole world community to implement green features and aspects in not just the built environment not just in their lifestyles but in their businesses in their industries then we're heading towards a green future.

• In nature the only source of energy is from the sun. So in ecological systems everything comes from the sun through the process of photosynthesis whereas now in human built environment our source of energy is from fossil fuels, renewable, wood energy or hydro-energy but it is not from the sun. So until we are able to operate and run a human built environment by imitating photosynthesis it will be a long while before we can have a true eco-system.

• In most ecological systems you have a composite, biotic components as well as abiotic components acting together to form a whole, whereas in a human built environment most of the components are abiotic or they are inorganic. One of the first things we need to do is to complement the inorganic components with more organic components, and to make them interact to form a whole.
