Architecture should produce interfaces that weave people and nature.
Architects should design spaces that emulate and give back to nature. Nature is what provides architects with the necessary resources and tools for creating sustainable designs. Coherently this process of give and take is productive for both human and nature.
People and nature can be woven together architecturally to form a strong and healthy environment. There should be a process of give and take between these two subject matters. For example, everything that people obtain and use from nature should be put back in a better and improved fashion. This includes the use of clean energy sources. People should refrain from using resources that are harmful to nature. Nature is what provides people with all the necessary elements that are needed to create energy producing architecture, Energy being everything from the literal to theoretical sense of the term. It is about creating spaces that feed people natural elements such as natural lighting which is conductive forgiving people energy. Architects need to create spaces that the people can relate to. Architecture serves as the common boundary that makes and forms an interconnection between people and nature

there are two really strong propositions here...
1. the notion of weaving people and nature (and, the questions of what exactly that means?)
2. the notion of emulating nature (and, likewise, what exactly that means?)
in both cases, nature is the central term which is a very broad notion/idea/condition/etc. what exactly is nature to you? how do you see either emulating it or weaving into it? hopefully it is more than simply making either buildings that look like trees, for example, or that have open-ambiguous interior/exterior spaces.
so, in emulating, are you interested in emulating forms, principles, qualities, etc. of nature? and in weaving, are you interested in making combinations of natural/artificial in different forms?
see? its more complicated than just the sustainable thing that underlies your interests. yes, the building should be sustainable... but, what else?
towards what end does this investigation take you?
