System on Deep Ecology

System means a set of things that connect to each other to form a network or a complex whole, while ecology deals with relationship of organisms and their surroundings.  So, in my opinion, systems on deep ecology is how you plan on ecological aspects of the architecture.  Eco-system does not work like a food chain where predators stay at the top and preys at the bottom, it works as interconnecting chains where each and every one of the organisms has its key role in the system, and if lacks even one of those, can affects the rest of the network.  So, planning a system of deep ecology requires everything to works well together, which in a lot of sense similar to the utopia theory, it is an ideal world where every parts of the system works.  

But it does not exist, yet.  Why?  Because right now things don't work that way.  The eco-system nowadays leans towards us humans.  Our buildings, technologies and innovations themselves cause disturbance to the whole system.  We made our existence too big that it shrinks others, thus unbalancing the system, turning it into a more dystopia.
