Remove the Asphalt Paving: De-Modernism

This study explores the urgent need to shift our understanding of sustainability from a human-centered perspective to one that recognizes our interconnectedness with the Earth. It critiques modernity's focus on material wealth and advocates for a transformative worldview that values ecological balance. The paper emphasizes fostering community engagement and sensibility towards the environment by integrating interdisciplinary approaches, critical reflection, and artistic expression. Ultimately, it calls for a profound re-evaluation of our relationship with nature, urging a collective commitment to reimagine our place within the ecosystem and cultivate ecological and cultural "soil" for future generations.
