"Full of merit, yet poetically, man dwells on this earth.”
This sentence first comes from the German poet Holderlin. Then after interpreted by the German philosopher Heidegger, this sentence becomes well-known. Heidegger thinks that poetic dwelling is the idealest living condition of human-being, and is also the most humanistic living condition. As a result, the poetic dwelling is the ultimate aim of contemporary people.
How can we achieve “poetic dwelling”? What kind of house and city can be considered as poetical?
In my aspect, The first aspect of “poetic dwelling” is that the house should have social significance and take environmental protection into account, thus have humane care.. From ancient times, people are yearning for a dwelling concept, that is, being coexistence with nature. The houses are scattered in the center of the green space. Each house is surrounded by red flowers and green grass. Living in the center of the nature like this is the real civilization.
