Scales of The Built Environment...

Production:

- Any element in a production might contain another whole production. Example: A product which is produced from an intention with knowledge could generate another new intention.
- a factor of scale.

- Usually there are only 7 scales used in built environment:

1. Object:

2. Interior:3. Building:4. Premise:
5. Urban:
6. Regional:
7. Global: Different perspective of looking at it such as Euro centric view, Pacific, Malacca perspective and Buckminster Fuller's view.

The level 100 course intro to Built Environment:

Intention: Ideologies, design theories.
Act: Scope of work.
Actor: Industrial designer (object), Interior Architect (interior), Architect (building), Landscape Architect (premise), Urban Designer (urban), Planner (regional) and Governor (global).
Rule: Legal aspect of development.
Product: Design of physical objects to physical world.
Site: From factories to Internet.

Instead of it, the reality seems like more on the Dying Planet:

Intention: To gain gold and glory.
Act: Design and build.
Actor: Earthling, inhabitant of earth, global villager, designer, builder, developer.
Rule: Economics.
Product: Destruction.
Site: Earth.




Nowadays, the earth cant sustain the overpopulation of mankind soon because of limited source of space, food and energy. The developments and construction impacts on our Mother Earth are destroying the health condition of this planet seriously. It is because of the irresponsible human-being who exploited the resources without considering the effect of it and did not plan well for a sustainable environment. Some said there is a need to control the activities and population in order to have a sustainable earth by using the method of iatrogenocide (the extermination of a population in a systematic fashion through medical error). But is this method right?? Or should it be done?? But for me, I am opposing this method. I believe there is still another way to solve the problems comparing to this "cruel" method.
