Abstract: ABSTACT: From the beginning of creation, human being was surrounded by nature. Everything in nature is well organized and in harmony with the other parts of it. Through the history, nature has been always a source of inspiration for the human begin in different aspects of their life. Architecture as one of the remarkable features in every society cannot be separated from nature. In this thesis, the role of nature in architecture has been discussed in order to find out how architecture has been affected by nature throughout the history. Based on the aim of this study, the thesis concluded that nature has the most optimized organization in terms of form, function, structure, and material within the context. In architecture design works even the ones which have been designed so close to nature, still there are some missing parts in one of their forms, function, or structure. Therefore, the best solution for the architects and designers to increase the optimization in their design works is looking at the nature in every aspect deeper and try to apply them as much as they can in their conceptual design of their project which is the heart of the design process, the point at which the actual form, character, and design details of the project are the best established and finalized. Although, there are a wider areas of inspiration from nature studies in architecture like organic architecture, constructive architecture, deconstructive architecture, and etc but this study is not going through the philosophy of inspiration from nature and it focusing on the more engineering ones like bionic architecture, Biomimicry and levels of inspiration. This study has intended to draw the attention of architects as well as architectural students to nature and inspiration from nature in different perspectives. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Yaratılışın başından beri, insan, doğa tarafından çevrilmiştir. Doğada herşey en iyi şekide organize olmakta ve diğer bölümleriylede uyum içindedir. Tarihte doğa,insanin yaşamında herzaman hayatının farklı açılardan başlamasında ilham kaynağı olmuştur.Bu bağlamda her toplumda mimarlık doğadan ayrılamayan dıkkat çekici özelliklerden biri olmuştu. Bu tezde, mimarinin tarih boyunca doğa tarafından nasıl etkilendiğini bulmak amacı ile doğanın mimalıktaki rolü tartışılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacına dayanarak, tezde, doğa; form, işlev, yapı ve malzeme bakımından en etkili organizasyon olarak akdedilmiştir. Mimari tasarımda, doğaya en yakın tasarımlarda bile form, işlev, yapı bakımından hala bazı eksik tarafları vardır. Bu nedenle, mimar ve tasarımcılar için en iyi çözüm, kendi tasarımlarında doğa ile etkileşimi atımak için; her açıdan doğaya daha derin bakmalı, tasarım sürecinin kalbini oluşturan projenin kavramsal tasarım kısmının gerçek formunda, karakterinde ve detaylarında yapabildiği kadar uyğulamayı denemeli, en iyi ilişkiyi kurmalı ve sonuçlandırmalı. Bu çalışmada, farklı yaklaşımlarda doğadan ilham alarak mimarinin yeni bir dönem için, farklı prespektiflerden bakılarak, yeni yaklaşımlar göstermek amaçlanmıştır.
