ABSTRACT
This chapter is a contribution to a collective work around Green Energy and Infrastructure: Securing a Sustainable Future. This book is about one of the world’s most pressing global issues of our time. We could write about sports, haute cuisine, art, fashion, or any other interesting trending topic. But no, we write about the most imperative and urgent issues that we all need to be aware of in order to know which actions we can take to help our planet survive. We are all responsible for the wellbeing of our planet, and even the smallest steps we take in our daily lives can contribute to securing a sustainable future. And concretely, this text is written by two experts in Antoni Gaudí, discovering this architect as a pioneer in sustainability, through learning from Nature as “return to the origin”: he was the first to transcend the immediate inspiration Nature offers beyond the purely formal application to architecture and design.
