Abstract
This paper investigates how ecological awareness may be activated through experienced phenomena in the case of three selected works by Jørn Utzon. Concerned with the qualitative study of the potential of building cultures, the aim is to qualify and inspire future sustainable design strategies with special attention to material properties and environmental conditions. It is asked what characterises the specific mode that allow oikos to be unconcealed through poiesis. And in continuation, how may the analysed works inspire sustainable human dwelling, on a finite Earth with limited natural capital. It is argued that ecopoetics in architecture understood as the resonate presencing of material properties and environmental conditions that invites participation may be a profound way to inspire sustainable dwelling in careful consideration of the natural capital of a finite Earth.
