Trees give us lessons about strength in the face of hard times. Succulents in deserts give us lessons about learning to adapt to the environment. From birds, we learn to spread our wings and fly to reach our full potential. From salmon, we learn the importance of perseverance in order to achieve our goals. Ants teach us to embrace responsibility and always do our best.
Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed.
- Francis Bacon, British philosopher
We don’t have a society if we destroy the environment.
- Margaret Mead, American anthropologist
欲驾驭自然必先顺。
如果我们毁坏了环境,社会也就不复存在。

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.
- Juvenal, Roman poet
When man is happy, he is in harmony with himself and his environment. - Oscar Wilde, Irish writer
自然与智慧永不相悖。
人类幸福之时,亦即人类自身和谐生活、且与环境和谐共处之时。

What is shown in the pictures
How could you associate them with architecture
The so-called natural elements mainly point to the landscape, greening and other relevant elements. In the design of the building, water system and pedestrian path can be arranged in the courtyard of the building. Let the building be in harmomy with its surroundings. It is also possible to arrange green decorations in the corridors inside the building and landscape trees in the interior to enhance the view of the interior space. In the planning and design, landscape center and green corridor can be arranged. These are all ways to include natural elements into architectural design.
