Nature has always been the most decisive factor in human life. The living sphere, which constitutes the living space of humans and other living creatures, not only provides resources to living things but also sets limits on their lives. Nature is the source of the basic needs of living things such as shelter, feeding, dressing, on the other hand, climates, landforms, natural events, etc. are factors that are always effective in living life.
The human-nature relationship is an ongoing relationship from an early age to today. When we look at the philosophers who have influenced their periods, it is possible to find more clues. For example, in the First Age, we see that the essence of their orientation to nature is not the sovereignty of nature, but the effort to understand it. It can be said that at that time, humanity chose not to distance itself from nature, but rather to integrate with it.
People wondered about nature at an early age and tried to understand it and add meaning. This effort led to beliefs in nature. These beliefs accept God, the soul, and all supernatural objects as part of nature and suggest that the source of everything is nature.
Beliefs from the same source have differentiated with the effect of various natural and artificial elements. Situations of the earth, climates, social differentiations required by the increase in population density, various events developing in the historical process (agriculture, technology revolutions, etc.) have influenced and led to differentiation.
Considering that the source of everything is nature, humanity saw itself as a part of nature and adapted to live in harmony with it, not to rule nature. Sometimes, by imitating nature, they created boundaries between them, and sometimes they took precautions against the boundaries of nature. At this point, they met with architecture. In other words, they have started to touch and shape nature. As in all lives of people, we see the effects of their beliefs in architecture. Throughout history, beliefs have been effective in the understanding of space, the use of elements of light, color, decoration, etc.
