Description
Summary:The transformed living space as a symptom of culture remains in regulated relation or opposition to nature. Habitation concerns living beings, humans, as well as animals and plants whose well-being requires appropriate conditions that translate into quality of life. Coexistence with nature is essential from the level of satisfying basic physiological needs to higher ones.

Dwellings have become multidimensional platforms for everyday activities, combining elements of simultaneous natural and virtual worlds.
