Abstract
Humans desire a natural experience, through biophilia. However, modernity has decreased the opportunities for the humans to interact with nature. Unfortunately this lost human relationship with nature not only destroys nature, but humanity itself. For humans to continue to sustain themselves, they must also sustain nature.The city is the location where nature has become almost invisible to the human eye. However, those who choose the urban environment over the suburban or rural one should have an equal opportunity to take in living things. Adjacent to the University of Cincinnati is such a place where appealing nature has become extinct. This design puts life back into this urban site. To sustain a relationship with another entity, one must consistently spend time in its presence. The program chosen for this project is a habitat for nature and humans: a garden and a dwelling. These two elements intermingled in a single design.
