Dr. Raafat spoke about the relation of nature and energy with human being,
which was clear in the symbols of Chinese and Indian civilization such as
“vaastu “. The natural thoughts moved to human architectural designs and
constructions which are very clear in the building of the Pyramids in the
ancient Paranoiac architecture. Such architecture was affected by the shape
of natural mountains, which were not existed in the area, in addition to
designing the columns in the shape of lotus. The classical architecture
includes the likening of columns to trees, but the Gothic architecture has
picked endings, while the ornamentation of churches looks like leaves of
trees. At the same time, the intertwinement of Islamic works and the
direction of mosque’ minarets towards the sky started with the resemblance
to bamboo. In light of the development of architecture and civilization the
former moved according to Dr. Raafat from the phase of utilization and
construction to the art of architecture and its creativeness. Accordingly, the
architecture reached the level that gives more attention to nature and
surrounding environment. Since Opera Dubai. For example, is built in the
shape of sand dunes Moreover. Al- Nakheel city takes the shape of palm
trees directly and clearly and Burj Al- Arab and Gulf Club in Dubai have
picked endings, while the design of Al- joumhouria newspaper’s building is
similar to an open book.
The development of materials used in manufacturing has helped architects
to make such achievements compared with clay and stoned that were used
in the past. The architect has become able to make flexible designs that can
match the nature in a great artistic manner. Moreover, environment friendly
building materials and technology have emerged.
