Nature—Architecture—Man

Abstract

We live in times of constant changes and pursuits which affect people and architecture in various ways. The basis for these changes are innovations in the field of new technologies. Man’s expectations concerning his place of residence, architecture and lifestyle also change. Architecture is under increasing pressure from changing human needs, sometimes being shaped under the influence of human success in the pursuit of standing out. Where is the place for man in this pursuit of power, ambition and attachment to material goods? Instead of living life to the fullest we are fated to live lives full of frustration and fear. The constantly changing world is constantly escaping our control, and man—burdened by his duties—desperately fights to achieve happiness.

The search for good design solutions that lead to harmony between the work of man and the work of nature is a goal that is important in and of itself. Through being with nature during every moment of leisure we learn and can continuously develop. Nature fills man with the pure joy of life, something that we can obtain only thanks to communing with flowers and birds, by living for the moment, within the eternally lasting present.
