Abstract

This thesis is a qualitative thesis depicting the way a design strategy can be constructed for a nature inclusive building by giving an example case. By first doing a set of case studies of projects describing themselves as nature inclusive and looking into their design strategy, then applying this to a case location together with the help of literature and an urban ecologist to test if this is a reliable way of designing. The main findings of this paper are that to set up a design strategy that is actually nature inclusive, the location needs to be thoroughly studied with the help of experts in the field of ecology to translate natures requirements to design elements.
