"Indigenous" vs. Industrial Design
From reading the Eglash, I notice that the societies he describes as demonstrating fractal housing patterns are usually societies that maintain a direct link and survival off of nature in a way that European and other Anglo cultures do not. Does a fractal structure imply that the society has more of a respect and link to nature and the order of nature than a European, industrial society does? Why are there societies and tribes in specific areas of the world who maintain a less destructive relationship with nature than the individuals and societies of "developed" nations do? Does housing structure in terms of fractal patterns, materials used, subsistence economy, etc. correlate directly to the relationship with nature a society or people has?
