| Abstract | ||||
| In view of the shift of the entire world’s view to preserving the environment as a future strategic choice, it is necessary for Egypt to follow the example of these countries in circumventing the traditional construction models because of the severe damage it represents to the environment, which unfortunately is the prevailing pattern even in designing the most environmentally linked facilities, namely gardens and parks This is the problem upon which the research was built, and therefore the designer was obligated to strive to find and develop environmentally friendly construction methods, and on this the research aims to establish the principle of using elements of the same environment such as trees and harnessing them to serve the needs of users, and also aims to reach the standards Suitable for producing innovative models of facilities in parks less environmentally friendly. To reach this vision, the researcher studied some architectural trends concerned with the environment, analyzed some buildings that were built on the principles of interaction with the surrounding environment, then presented a set of ideas such as the formation of plant growth, which allows the application of principles drawn from environmental architecture, where the technique of formation can be used Plant growth to provide models of furniture units such as tables and chairs and other products of benefit to the user, which have the property of sustainability as they are an integral part of their surrounding environment, come out of it and interact with it positively, and based on these ideas the researcher came up with many principles, the most important of which is that environmental design An integrated philosophy that does not depend on the material alone, but includes the elements of the environment itself, and that good design that serves the environment is based on the integration of many elements such as design, the raw environment and technology. | ||||
