Μέσα από τα κτίρια του Le Corbusier φαίνεται ο προβληματισμός του για τη σχέση φυσικής αρχιτεκτονικής. Μέσω των υποστυλωμάτων προτείνει την απομάκρυνση του κτιρίου από το έδαφος και τη φύση, και σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις τα ίδια τα υποστυλώματα δημιουργούν ένα νέο τεχνητό δάσος (unite d'habitation). Εισάγει τη φύση στην οροφή του κτιρίου προτεινοντας κάτι καινούργιο, το Roof garden και προσθέτει επιμήκη παράθυρα στις όψεις που "καδράρουν" τη φύση(villa savoye).
Στο pavilion de l'esprit nouveau ουσιαστικά σχεδιάζει ένα κουτί που αναπτύσσεται γύρω από έναν κήπο που αποτελείται ουσιαστικα από ένα δέντρο.
Στη Ronchamp τοποθετεί παράθυρα ύστερα από μελέτη της πορείας του ηλίου ώστε το παρεκκλήσι να φωτίζεται όλη την ημέρα και που επιτρέπουν στον επισκέπτη να παρατηρεί ακόμα και τα σύννεφα καθώς και να μπορεί να αντιληφθεί την ώρα της ημέρας.
Nature with architecture is not an odd pairing by any means, but it’s never been done quite like this. But another factor plays heavily on this contemporary, flowing style – music. Architect Robert Harvey Oshatz has created this awesome, artistic piece of architecture in the woods of Portland, Oregon, for a client who’s love of music would be translated into a modern home.

This impressive design was seven years in the making, from the drawing board to its completion in 2004, and it was worth every last second of the wait. The main living level of this contemporary tree house sits in the canopy, among lush green leaves with the dewy earth rolling out below. It’s one of those designs that’s difficult to describe.
Contemporary German Tree House
According to the architect, “One has to actually stroll through the house to capture its complexities and its connection to the exterior with the use of a natural wood ceiling floating on curving laminated wood beams which pass through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.” Architect Robert Harvey Oshatz.
If you thought you’ve outgrown your treehouse, guess again. Those who appreciate modern architecture with an unconventional twist will want to plan their next trip to North-West Germany, where you’ll find this contemporary treehouse perched between an alder and an oak in Osnabruck. Designed by architectural firm Baumraum, a company specializing in tree-top dwellings, the treehouse stands out with its curved roof and many windows. Although this modern home carries a totally sophisticated design, it still boasts those traditionally playful elements that make it a true treehouse – a rope ladder, plenty of outdoor deck space, and of course, nature-inspired interiors.
The Eden Project in Cornwall is a world-renowned attraction that explores humankind's relationship with plants. It's home to the world's largest covered conservatories known as 'Biomes' - a bit like gigantic greenhouses - and provides a fascinating visitor experience as well as unique resource for education. Inside the Warm Temperate Biome of The Eden Project
The site itself is set in the spectacular hills of St Austell on what were once the sterile slopes of a disused clay pit. The effect is quite extraordinary with its massive Biomes seeming to bubble out from the hillsides.
The site is the size of a staggering 30 football pitches and the largest of its Biomes is 50 metres high - you could fit the whole of the Tower of London inside it! Here you can experience the tropical rainforests of Malaysia, West Africa and South America with temperatures of up to 30 degrees and up to 90 per cent humidity. Waterfall in the Humid Tropics Biome of The Eden Project
The second largest Biome (35ft high) offers a more temperate climate. Walk between orange and lemon trees, old olive groves and gnarled vines as you discover the natural landscapes of the Mediterranean, South Africa and California. There's also 30 acres of outdoor landscaped gardens where you'll find plants from all over the world and discover how they've changed the past, and could change the future.
The Eden Project also has areas designed to make children and adults think about their lives and how plants play an important part. There are fun interactive activities, trails, play structures made out of willow and bamboo, and secret shortcuts for kids all around the site. Once you've explored Eden, relax in one of the award-winning restaurants where you'll find healthy and varied dishes made from local produce.

In 1967, the American government was contemplating its contribution to Montréal, Canada’s Biospere, Montreal upcoming exposition, which would showcase countries from around the world. The U.S. hoped to make an impact of the exposition and hired famed architect, Richard Buckminster Fuller, to fashion the design for its building.
Fuller’s architectural skills resulted in the design of a huge geodesic dome that would quickly become one of the main attractions at the fair. Fuller was already known for his domes but this was, by far, his most elaborate and complicated work.
The United States Pavilion stood 200-feet-high (61m) and had a spherical diameter of 250 feet (76m). It was constructed as a frame of steel pipes enclosing some 1,900 molded acrylic panels. The dome used an elaborate system of retractable shading screens to control the Biosphere, Montreal heat inside and a computer adjusted the screens in accordance with the direction of the sun's rays. The result was stunning!
Its Second Life When the Expo was complete, instead of dismantling the building, the U.S. donated it to the city of Montreal. For several years, it served as an exhibition area for plants and birds.
During structural renovations in 1976, a fire occurred at the dome and the transparent outer skin was completely lost. Until 1990, access to the site was forbidden due to structural concerns.
That year, Environment Canada bought the structure at a cost of $17.5 million in hopes of building its Biosphere – an attraction/museum “devoted to eco-action, showcasing, observing and studying water, Biosphere, Montreal and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River ecosystem.” Architect Eric Gauthier was selected to redesign the interior in keeping with Fuller’s original plans. It opened in 1995.
What’s Inside? A visit to the Biosphere is a treat for all ages, especially kids who love hands-on interactive exhibits. The displays and movies highlight the importance of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River watershed and endeavor to educate visitors as to environmental concerns that plague the area.
Special programs for groups include a guided tour and the chance to participate in experiments, games, and other activities that showcase the area’s watershed.
