Conclusion

Every art lives from role models. Painting and sculpture used to be found mainly in nature, which showed excitingly unfi nished perfection and above all inexplicable beauty. Architecture, however, has very rarely taken nature as a model. Looking back, it is a model for itself. Historical buildings are often imitated or recreated. The task of building is to this day the protection of mankind from the forces of nature, which are now increasingly mastered. Finally, the extent to which nature has been destroyed by buildings is also recognized. Slowly a new understanding of a symbiosis of man and his buildings with nature is developing.
