Discover the art and practicalities of sustainable architecture and bio-construction. Living near a green or natural area is a significant benefit to promoting good mental health. Green spaces are thought to lower stress levels, reduce depression and anxiety and improve general well-being. Throughout this book, you will understand how good architecture is considered to be that which blends in perfectly with the surrounding area. Nature can be integrated into architecture indirectly with environmentally friendly elements. For example, there is the option of constructing buildings with vertical gardens that integrate this green habitat into the structure itself, whether it is a fa�ade, roof, etc. and of including natural elements inside the building. When architecture is in tune with the location, it seeks to respect the landscape, limiting the footprint of its intervention, camouflaging its presence or building with local materials. Topics include: . Blending architecture with landscapes . Respecting the land . Producing controlled environments . Details on unfolded axonometric . Inspirations from baroque and mysticism . Incorporating multi-sensual experiences Indeed, today's buildings and cities endeavour to appreciate their surroundings, uniting the environment with architecture. This union sometimes goes beyond admiring the natural beauty surrounding them; the intention is to establish a dialogue and consider the space as just another architectural element. This practice seeks to transform the mechanisms of conventional architecture using materials focused on sustainability. AUTHOR: Anna Minguet is a creative based in Barcelona.
