Man & Nature
Design and architecture that integrates human spaces with natural environments and ecosystems.
This topic explores how designers and architects approach the relationship between built environments and the natural world. Projects examine strategies for creating spaces where human activity coexists with ecological systems rather than replacing them.
The community shares work on adaptive reuse of estates as nature destinations, frameworks for harmonizing human habitats with ecosystems, and large-scale interventions that prioritize wildlife and landscape restoration alongside human use.
