Abstract

Since time immemorial there existed a bond between architecture and ecology that arose from the dependence of human kind from the natural environment conditions. The “Man – Nature” relationship has always had a strong impact on the art. Since ancient times the ecological tradition has developed in architecture, reflecting the strive of a man to achieve the harmony with nature. In their works, architects repeated natural forms for the sake of visual beauty. Turning to nature favors pragmatic interests as well – an urban environment with natural elements included is more comfortable for the citizens. The process of greening architecture based on aesthetic and pragmatic approaches currently finds its evocation in novel ecologically sustainable structures. Buildings of this kind exert minimal impact on the environment and make it possible to provide citizens with comfortable living conditions.
