Sadly, the world, the UK, and Scotland in particular has very recently lost a pioneering figure in ecological design and community planning. Howard Liddell (1945-2013) was a visionary and inspiring figure, and his firm, Gaia, built many sustainable and revolutionary houses, and was involved in community projects both in Scotland and overseas . It is a very humbling experience to read the account of his life and achievements in the guardian obituary. But it is also a very informative account of what has and can be achieved.
