The relationship with nature and landscape is a fundamental component The need to integrate the scheme in the desertscape determined the choice of a "mimetic" approach, and led to the widespread adoption of the adobe brick. 

The key words guiding the scheme are "enclosure" and "wall". These two elements allow to obtain a continuous interrelation between inside and outside.  On the one hand, by building a wall, a fence closed on itself, you take away a portion of space belonging to Nature, to the Desert. On the other hand, following the vision of a mimetic architecture, a visual and material continuity is established between enclosure and desert. In order to avoid a clear cut separation from nature and the desert, the scheme incorporates fragments of open spaces - courtyards and patios - and fragments of nature - trees, water, fire.
