Humans'
earliest habitat was in nature and their coexistence was exquisite. But that's
usually when we're talking about people who live in caves or when farming was
the only profession we had before being influenced by all of this overwhelming
technology.
Urbanization
has erased the presence of nature in our lives due to fast population growth.
We are increasingly surrounded by concrete walls that we construct to survive
in today's world forgetting that the most important aspect for us is to exist
in nature, rather than in an office or building where we work.
One
school of thought holds that humans and nature cannot coexist peacefully on the
same planet and that one must inevitably destroy the other. Luckily, there have
been certain instances where people have recognized the value of being
surrounded by nature and have found a great way to coexist as you can see
below.
We've put
together another set of photographs below that show how architects have managed
to create a beautiful and elegant truce between the two sides by demonstrating
how we may perfectly exist side by side in perfect harmony.

Architects such as Stefano Boeri are pushing the boundaries of design by developing
entire forest cities. Boeri's first forest city is in Lizhou, China, and it
will be completed in 2020.
