      <description>The design of our built environment contributes to the quality of our surroundings and our everyday lives. Our buildings are our learning spaces and our living spaces. Buildings affect our physical health and emotional well-being. They are a dominant feature of our educational settings, where teachers and tamariki spend a large part of their day. We make lots of things in our daily lives, but how often do we get to take part in decisions about the buildings in our Enviroschools and in our community? Through the Ecological Building Theme Area, we learn to question the design of our built environment, and to tune in to the mauri of our buildings. We can understand how buildings are designed and constructed, how they make us feel, and how our built environment can support life, health and wellbeing. Ecological building is a process of imagining, designing, creating and constructing together.</description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Martin Ulenberg is a Registered Architect based in Tāmaki Makaurau.  His mission is to make uku (clay), and natural building, as beautiful and desirable as the classic handmade architecture of old. So far it is the environmentalists building this way, but he believes that if it is styled right, the rich will adopt it, and then the masses will follow. If this happens, this will make a big difference to the planet.</p>]]></description>
