Building Ecology


This Section is devoted to a collection of articles, hand-written minutes, and a draft book on the concept of Building Ecology – its complexities and the increasingly unfolding implications – that Levin invented in 1980, published in “Progressive Architecture” in 1981, and kept refining throughout his life.
