Lessons in Sustainability from the Inca Empire
The engineers of the ancient Inca Empire cleverly used the resources of nature efficiently. Because of their unique awareness of nature, they were able to build durable structures that have lasted for more than 500 years. The structures they created reveal an exacting observation of the forces of nature and a honed ability to work in cooperation with those forces. This summation of the Inca storehouse structures in relationship to nature demonstrates that the relationship between construction and nature is powerful and can be used in a positive manner. Modern engineers can create more sustainable structures if they devote careful attention to nature.
