Talking about loss of nature due to architectural wonders–or atrocities—architectural psychologist Dak Kopec noted that nature should play a significant role in regards to buildings and construction. “Land should not be viewed only in terms of the developer’s profit but in the mental and physical health and well-being of the people,” he said.
According to the expert, destroying nature because of construction might lead to loss of empathy. “When people stop seeing themselves in the cycle of life, they can start to distance themself from caring. This might be caring for a tree or flowers, animals, and our fellow human beings. We are part of nature, and we need this connection to help keep us balanced.”
