Architecture Relating to the Natural Environment
As humans on living on Earth, the natural environment cannot be circumvented. Any type of building inherently interferes with the natural systems it is built within, so architects have had to factor in these surrounding natural environments (often times they have even found ways to reflect the environment within their designs). With major technological advancements and society moving in a more tech-savvy direction as a whole more innovative designs became possible. However, even with these new and popular notions of modernity within design the environment could not be forgotten, and people still desired a connection to nature for spiritual and physical benefits. Our projects all relate to the environment yet focus on various types of architecture in various climates, regions, and locations. They are organized to start with Brittney's project, which looks at sustainable architecture in North American cities. Next, is Genevieve's, which describes the development of Creole Architecture out of the whether of New Orleans, Louisiana. Finally, Amanda's project, that looks at Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture who's home designs integrate with the natural environment in which they are built. As you go through our page, looking at our projects from most broad to specific, you will get a wide range of examples of, and reasons why, and how the environment is brought into architectural design.
