The purpose of this thesis is to find architectural solutions which apply the theoretical findings centered around the biophilia hypothesis. The principles resulting from this investigation should help architecture to soften the separated conditions of the natural and the man-made environment. The application of these principles will then result in the design development of an Art in Nature Habitat in Kyoto, Japan.
