A cidade, os espaços verdes e a casa na árvore. Um retiro ecológico na natureza

Abstract

Through an approach based on the evolution of urban models, thepurpose of this work is to understand where our cities fail to relatewith the natural environment and find out which plans in urbanmanagement contributed to improve this relationship.The tree house example is used to study the relationship ofarchitecture with nature. This type of construction, associated withadult‐child's imagination, was recently adapted as a tourist resort,cultural symbol of luxury, a space for comfort and meditation.A number examples will be selected to better understand howarchitecture can articulate natural environment with the comfortwe desire.The aim is also to understand how the examples studied relate totheir surroundings, taking into account their ecological value andarchitectural role.
