InteractionWith Nature

Tree-lined pathway leading to building enterance

Natural element connecting an indoor/outdoor space

A frequent element within Japanese architecture is for the house enterance and property to be separated. When this strategy is implemented a path, surrounded in natural elements, is used to connect them. Neutra draws inspiration from this in works like The Kaufmann Desert House (right), VDL Studio and Residence (bottom right), and Mariners Medical Arts (bottom left).
