The population and the area of modern cities are still growing and it is the main reason why city-people lost contact with nature. Environmental aesthetics is concerned with relations between people, their well-being and built and natural environment. Many researchers show that people's preferences have the roots in a survival environment. It is savanna-type environment, characteristic of the first steps of the development of human species; the environment with some trees, grass, water and small hills. The experiments showed that the natural environments arc preferred to built environments and the natural elements influence psychological restoration. The study proved that people looking at greenery and water reported significantly less stress and irritability. Stokols stated that the contact with nature makes a well-being and the nature could be a "healer". Housing environment being the most important environment in human life should give people psychical comfort in contact with natural elements: greenery, water and the nice shape of terrain and to fulfil their needs of identification and stability. The project Punctum Milenium en Pinto near Madrid made by Peter Cook, Salvador Perez Arroyo and Eva Hurtado, presented beneath, is the very interesting example of using natural elements in housing unit on many levels.
