・・・Slow architecture aims at reaching a BALANCE between ECOLOGIC SUSTAINABILITY, COMPACT CITIES and CARING.

Architecture (at the building scale) is the object and the vehicle to change our cities and our lifestyle.

Slow architecture is not a static theory but (in analogy with slow food) is in dynamic contrast with "fast architecture" represented by urban sprawl, prefabricated house makers, scrap and build, greenfield development, shopping centers.

Sustainability: better than the generic concept of "ecology", sustaianbility expresses a practical equation. The buildings in which we live should use less energy and this amount should be within the re-generative capacity of the ecosystem.

Compatc city:
A energy efficient wood-framed house with exploits renewable resources may be sustainable. But this may not be enough. Buildings should arrange in such (urban) structures that promote also a low energy lifestyle and better human interactions.

Love:
A healthy, comfortable and ethical living environment should be the final objective. Anyway - as a good book cannot be read without light - a high quality building may be useless without psicological wellbeing.
