Community planning from the Kingdom of God's Perspective-Part 4

Organic Architecture

 

Once we understand our role as biblical steward, pray thru any "leans" on a proposed site, and map God's "master plan" for development, we then look at a deeper level to the biology that may inhabit a location. By studying these attributes we may find clues as to form and function that work hand in hand with sustainable land use planning.

This approach as steward of creation partners with God from the macro to the micro scale of each building site. owners and designers divorce themselves from "personal preferences" over "style" in lieu of allowing God to speak through creation itself to be the form giver.

Each building, on each site has a unique solution. Its appearance and function can be traced back to foundational principles God placed on and in the land. The architecture is not therefore interchangeable between sites or regions of the country. It is site specific and unique. By following this approach we defer personal preferences to allow God's fingerprints to show through.































The end result is a community that from top to bottom is in harmony with its environment.  Its location, orientation, form and material selection have a direct connection back to God's design for any particular location.  We chose to glorify God not man in all we do.
