As Juhani Pallasmaa, Finnish architect and author says, “Architecture is not ‘out there’. It is a mediation between the world and our minds”. I believe the same could be said of Nature and the manufactured environments at large, and I apply this idea as a starting point for thinking about our relationship to the natural world. There is a continuous back and forth dialogue that occurs between us and the environment — one that can quickly shift. I want to explore that relationship and in how our perspectives have profound consequences for the environments we inhabit and the natural world that surrounds us.
