Balconies, lodges, green roofs, solariums, etc. represent one of the fundamentals (according to the definition by Rem Koolhaas at Biennale di Venezia 2014) of contemporary architecture, that is triggering a new debate on the contemporary city and its landscape. The link between these solutions and nature is one of the most influential factors for their success. On the one hand this could be considered as a positive aspect for the sustainability of the human action on the planet - in strictly environ mental terms. On the other hand, it poses urgent questions about the simplification of the aesthetic and cultural categories that are governing the evolution of the city.
