Architecture - Nature

What is Architecture?

At the beginning, we needed a place to protect ourself from the outside, so dangerous and unknown for us. So we started to built: a roof, walls, forniture ..then streets and roads ..and then cities, high-ways ..the architecture became more and more technical and complicated, more daring and brave.
But before building, we hid in caverns, we made home inside nature, using its natural shape, and adapting ourself to it. Then it all changed, the need of following the forms of nature was no more necessary, and architecture became something totally different, sometimes even dangerous for the environment.
However, when we look at an architecture and we feel it as beautiful, is when it is part of the landscape, when even though it’s artificial it seems natural. Because our eyes still look for nature, and nature was the primary architecture, and still is.
Nowadays architecture sometimes seems alien, or fantastic ..but when those forms are nice to see and we love them is when they don’t collide with the landscape. Everybody can see when a building or any kind of construction is somehow not in the right place, it’s not representative of the place it is chosen to be. Because architecture it’s also this: it grows with the society it represents, it’s different in any part of the world because humanity it’s various just as much as it is nature.

I see architecture as nature, and nature as architecture, there is something extremely fascinating in this binomial.

I want to create a video where in the first frames I’ll show example of natural architecture, pictures and videos I took during different journeys, and then show some example of invasive and unnatural architecture, in Milan, my hometown, and finally some others where architecture could combine perfectly with the environment, from Milan and others cities I visited or studied, such as Edinburgh, Porto, Valencia, Berlin (all different cities for culture and style).
