How did modernist architects incorporate natural elements into their designs?

Modernist architects incorporated natural elements into their designs by integrating more open spaces, greenery, and natural lighting. They believed that a connection to nature and natural elements would enhance their designs and create an environment that had a positive impact on people's well-being. One way they achieved this was through the use of large windows and skylights to bring in natural light and connect the building to the outside environment. They also incorporated organic shapes and materials, such as wood and stone, to create a more natural feel. In addition to this, they designed buildings with more open spaces, such as courtyards and atriums, to create a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding environment. Overall, modernist architects used natural elements to create a more harmonious relationship between the built environment and the natural world.
