问题     The natural environment still manages to fill us with a sense of awe and amazement. Despite the amount of scientific knowledge mankind has gathered, nature still holds great mysteries that we may never be able to unravel. This complexity has continually daunted man.【B1】______As a result, we have distanced ourselves from the earth, even though our survival is completely dependent on it. We are now trying to regain our close connection to nature.
    【B2】_____ Referred to as "natural architecture", it aims to create a new, more harmonious relationship between man and nature by exploring what it means to design with nature in mind. The roots of this movement can be found in earlier artistic shifts like the "land art" movement of the late nineteen sixties. Although this movement focused on protesting the austerity of the gallery and the commercialization of art, it .managed to expand the formal link between art and nature.【B3】______
    The movement is characterized by the work of a number of artists, designers and architects that express these principles in their work. The pieces are simple, humble and built using the most basic materials and skills.【B4】______ The forms are stripped down to their essence, expressing the natural beauty inherent in the materials and location. The movement has many forms of expression that range from location-based interventions to structures built from living materials. However, all of the works in the movement share a central distinctive spirit that demonstrates a respect and appreciation for nature.
    These works are meant to comment on architecture and provide a new framework to approach buildings and structures. They aim to infuse new ideas into architecture by subverting the idea that architecture should shelter nature.【B5】______We see the branches, the rocks and all the materials for what they are. We understand that these structures won’t exist forever. The materials will evolve over time, slowly decomposing until no evidence remains. These features are intentional, provoking viewers to question the convention of architecture. The designers aren’t suggesting that architecture must conform to their vision; they are just providing ideas that they hope will inspire us all to rethink the relationship be-tween nature and the built environment.
A. This has helped develop a new appreciation of nature in all forms of art and design.
B. Instead, the structures deliberately expose the natural materials used in the building process.
C. The core concept of the movement is that mankind can live harmoniously with nature, changing and using it for our needs.
D. There is an emerging art movement that is exploring mankind’s desire to reconnect to the earth, through the built environment.
E. Because of this, the results often resemble native architecture, reflecting the desire to return to a less technological world.
F. In frustration, we try to control nature by enforcing order. [br] 【B2】
