Incorporating Nature

All architecture exists in its environment.  Frequently there are natural elements to enhance architecture.  I deeply appreciate the ways in which nature may provide context and detail for architecture.  After all, nature has been practicing architecture for a long time.

  1. it is certainly interesting to see just how much nature is a part of our perception of any architecture - remove the trees from any scene and the whole building takes on a totally different feel - remove the plants from inside a scene in a room and what we have left is something totally different.
