Nature In and Around Buildings
In a country with diverse topography and rich plant community, Japanese have developed human-nature intimacy and unique spatial relationships between buildings, gardens, and landscapes.
Now we live in a society where the majority of the population live in dense urban areas and average 90% of time spent indoors. We are facing the challenge of our time, like other countries globally, how to create a natural environment that is accessible by city dwellers and workers and how to reconstruct human-nature relationships that contribute to physical mental well-being. Now, nature in and around buildings has become essential. And creating those environments can be achievable by holistic design approaches.
This lecture by Junko Anazawa (Atelier Fuuchi) will share some recently built projects that suggest strong landscape – architecture ties. This will open discussion of how knowledge and expertise of landscape architecture can contribute to the effort of human-centric placemaking.
