Modern architecture often incorporates the surrounding landscape by using natural materials and incorporating elements of nature into the design. For example, buildings may use local stone or wood to blend in with the environment. Large windows and skylights are used to allow natural light and views of the surrounding nature to enter the building. Terraces, balconies, and outdoor spaces are designed to connect the building with the surrounding landscape. Buildings may also be designed to follow the natural contours of the land, creating a harmonious relationship between the architecture and the environment. Overall, modern architecture aims to create a symbiotic relationship with nature by incorporating the landscape into the design.
