Physical context as a generator of architecture : manipulation of built environment in harmony with nature

Abstract

Nature is a very complex entity regarding with its creation. It exists through its harmonious integrations of cosmic and physical rhythms, from the beginning of time/Man was has embodied in nature and dependent on natural forces. It gives the birth to all creations of man. He built his shelter obeying to these inherent characteristics of the nature. Man interpreted his inspirations as an intelligent understanding of nature rather than a perceptible understanding. These experiences, studies the surrounding environment which gives the way to create harmonies built environments with nature, without simply having superficial imitations. Any building to maintain a good conversation with the context, should respond to the essential character of the place. The essential character or the inherent quality of a place is generated out of a number of features such as physical and non physical components. The harmonious integration of the built environment with nature always gives rise to a good piece of architecture. Such a harmonious product undoubtly become meaningful and express its inherent meaning through its built form. Hence the built form becomes the resultant output of the certain generative forces thus it becomes a harmonious product with the context.
