dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis examines the relationship between design and nature in the context of vernacular architecture, with a focus on traditional Japanese architecture. The aim is to understand how nature influences design and to identify elements that can be beneficial for contemporary architecture. The research explores the building elements, materials, spatial methods, and underlying philosophy of Japanese design, with the intention of integrating these elements into future design practices. While sustainability is not the main focus, it is closely related to the correlation between design and nature and serves as an incentive for the study. The thesis is structured into five chapters, relying on secondary qualitative research and case studies to support the findings. The research concludes by highlighting the relevance of the information gathered for designing with and for nature in the future. Keywords: design, nature, vernacular architecture, traditional Japanese architecture, sustainability, contemporary architectureen
