Abstract
The paper will present evidence that, designed appropriately, building envelopes have the potential to serve as exemplars of a more more balanced two-way relationship between ourselves and nature. Specifically, it will demonstrate how introducing the movements of the sun, wind and rain into indoor environments can help to improve the well-being of building occupants at the same time as raising awareness of important but neglected sustainable practices.
