Integration of Vegetation With Architecture Forms
Abstract
One of the most interesting ways of returning nature to the city is green architecture, which embraces hybrid buildings at the base of the coexistence of the natural and building worlds. By definition, green architecture does not have to be green at all. Nevertheless, it takes on a number of hybrid forms integrated with vegetation. Built and natural form in the composition is inseparably “tangled” – one follows other to form a cohesive whole. Green architecture becomes part of a larger green infrastructure system. The idea of green infrastructure leads to passage from passive protection, to the active-present in every aspect of human life. It is a development tool respecting the laws of nature. Architecture enters the world of nature as never before, clings to it through the cooperation of designers with specialists in environmental sciences from cellular microbiology to macro scale processes in ecosystems. This requires designers to be particularly sensitive to the natural world, understanding and accepting its rules.
