RAG 132 Built Environment

Lecture 2

There are 7 scales that we have to pay attention.
1 --- object
2 --- interior
3 --- building
4 --- premise
5 --- urban
6 --- regional
7 --- global

Earth is devided into east and west which also calls orient and occident and yet it is appearing eurocentrism. Eurocentrism means that people seeing the globe from the edge of european's view.

Pasific Rim exists along the west coast of north and south American and east coast of Asia.
When we see the world by the other way round, join the Pasific Rim up , will see there is a link between this 2 main land. Pasific ocean exists in the middle of 2 of the Pasific Rim. It raises a kingdom in between them so the region of the Pasific ocean can be said that it is a kingdom.

We are not only can see the globe by linking the Pasific Rim but also by Buckminster Fuller's view. To make a country to be a developed country, the region of the country must be developed. A lot of the constructions need to be carry out, and yet there are a lot of destructive developments. If citizen do not care about the global development, there will be a dying date for the globe included all the organisme of the earth.
