Slow architecture

Slow architecture is a way of designing buildings, neighborhoods, and cities that focuses on people, nature, and community. Slow architecture helps people to stay connected to the things in their community that make them feel good, like friendly neighbors, parks, and places to gather. Slow architecture is created with materials and designs that respects the people and the environment, like using natural light and materials that don't take a lot of energy to make. It also focuses on making places that are comfortable and have features that encourage people to be active and social with each other, like wide sidewalks and outdoor seating. Slow architecture is also designed to be flexible and adaptable, so it can change with the people and their needs over time.
