Created as a 501-C3 non-profit corporation, several years ago, the Foundation hopes to foster a heightened awareness of the impact of man-made design on the environment, and more importantly, the potential impact of the environment on man-made design.

The technology of the twentieth century. while attempting to understand and mold nature to man's needs and whims, has unwittingly opened the door to the destruction of critical parts of the natural environment of the planet. This can no longer continue.

The cultural expression of man-made interventions to the planet from now on must be as conscious of the interlocking forces of nature, as they are presently conscious of style.

Building and landscape architecture must connect us to nature and, further, must help us to understand it.
