| Summary: | The aim of this work is to systematize the knowledge about natural factors that affect the designed housing
environments in modern urban spaces. The work will discuss natural factors: climate, climate change, existing
vegetation, surface waters and landforms. The impact of presented factors on architecture design will
be supported by examples of contemporary residential projects. By confronting the knowledge gained from
theoretical works with the design practice, it was possible to perform in-depth analyses of the problem. The
conducted non-reactive research, i.e. content analysis and desk research method, proves that natural factors
have a significant impact on the quality of the designed residential building. Taking these factors into account
when designing residential environment can significantly improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. |
