If we looked at Nature as a model for design, we could find that in its intelligence everything is connected. This connectivity is expressed on the smallest electron arrangement to largest macroscopic stellar alignment. Everything seems to produce an effect on something else, a connection... a link between its surroundings... a relation to its Whole. Quietly, the World with its equilibrium, is telling us what harmony and balance really are... and patiently how to achieve them... Listening to this never-ending conversation that happens in Nature, enhances our designs, the way we think and the way we live life. In architecture we could use buildings that use energy more efficiently; buildings that react to environment with the sensitivity of a natural organism; buildings that act a little more like they are part of Nature rather than a complete separate organism from the environment. The possibility exists, that buildings can become better at the conversation with our natural surroundings. This thesis will try to uncover the readability of nature and will project a design that explains how to react to Nature in architectural terms.
