RGB: Red, Blue, Green as a Model for Living Environments

Abstract

Certain important principles have always guided the design ethos of Tierra Design and PODesign. These include the integration of the allied design disciplines—Landscape Architecture (as many of our professionals come from this field), Architecture, (because some of these same professionals were trained as architects) and Urban Design (because the combination of landscape and architecture fully illustrates how people live and use dynamic spaces). Using  this ethos, Tierra Design and PODesign have worked towards liveability and love-ability or what they consider as living in a biophilic city, where humans have an inherent connection with nature. For designers, the challenge then is to ensure that their designs are for living in a city that works for people.
