 Abstract

Design for Life underlines the key-role of the architect in contributing to life. Life meaning both the functioning of life systems as well as the quality of life. It shows that, even though architects tend to mainly focus on practical and technical solutions, contributing to the quality of life is evenly essential for it creates the opportunity of moving from a static design towards architectural succession: a self-reinforcing dynamic process. This makes it possible to drastically improve even an extreme urban context: gradually transforming the built environment into a living environment again.
