The

word

nature

means

"

essential

qualities

,

innate

disposition

"

.

N

ature

may

refer

to

the

general

realm

of

various

types

of

living

plants

and

animals,

and

in

some

cases

to

the

processes

associated

with

inanimate

objects

–

the

way

that

particular

types

of

things

exist

and

change

of

their

own

accord,

such

as

the

weather

and

geology

of

the

Earth,

and

the

matter

and

energy

of

which

all

these

things

are

composed

.

An

ecosystem

is

a

natural

unit

consisting

of

all

plants,

animals

and

micro

-

organism

in

an

area

functioning

together

with

all

of

the

physical

factors

of

the

environment

.

Ecosystems

can

be

permanent

or

temporary

.

It

is

a

unit

of

interdependent

organism

which

share

the

same

habitat

.

Ecosystems

usually

form

a

number

of

food

webs

.

ecosystem



Food

chains

describe

the

eating

relationships

between

species

within

an

ecosystem

or

a

particular

living

place

.

Many

types

of

food

chains

or

webs

are

applicable

depending

on

habitat

or

environmental

factors

.

Every

known

food

chain

begins

with

a

type

of

autotroph

,

whether

it

be

a

plant

or

some

kind

of

unicellular

organism

.

food chains

Cities can work like nature

does….

.



To create a cityscape that

works

just like

nature

does …



Taking nature’s characteristics as a prototype to create

new cityscapes …

Nature’s characteristics….

- Self-sufficient

- Adapt to CHANGES

- FUNCTION together as a system



Every building should produce either “food ” or generate energy

Applications



Every buildingmay share what

they produce just

like in a food chain



Every building should have its own

cycle just like a tree changes tosurvive the climate



The cityscapes will only work ifeverything functions together



Energy:

Sun energy will be collected by solar cells and distributed forthe whole cityscape for the electricity demand. This energywill be collected and will be stored underground for the

peoples needs (in summer we can collect more and keep itfor the winters need).

Water Usages:

To provide water needs, water recycling is needed especially

to irrigate the farms, sanitary usages, and even for drinking.The rain water will be stored and then used to irrigate thefarms, the grey water will be recycled and reused and the

sewage water will be used as fertilizers or as a energysupplier (biogas).



Food and Farming:

The production of food is essential. The idea is to produceeverything we need, and in this way to be self-sufficient.This will result in a mixed cityscape of urban and arable

land organized in community farms.

Transportation:

Implement and encourage a state of public transportation

system. To optimize the space and to reduce the air andnoise pollution, this public transportation will be all

underground. In this way we can collect the polluted airand process it to become environmental friendly.



Cityscapes Model



Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.

It will never fail you.

Frank Lloyd Wright
