 ==[[Matthias Breuer]]: [[/Decaying shelters]]==
-[[File:Cardboard-dome-v3.jpg|thumb|right|The third prototype]]Usually architecture is designed for durability. I want to design architecture that isn't. Taking nature as inspiration I will design dwellings and shelters that completely decay. The idea is to transfer nature's cycle of growth and decay to modern human habitats.
+[[File:Cardboard-dome-v3.jpg|thumb|right|The third prototype]]Our society manifests itself in concrete and steel. Most building are designed for an indefinite time span without a proper plan for each stage of its life. Often buildings get demolished simply because there is no need for them anymore, not because the old structure became unusable.
+Taking nature's cycle of growth and decay as inspiration, I plan to design multiple shelters and dwellings that decay over time. Using a combination of biodegradable and sustainable materials these dwellings will completely biodegrade to soil.
