On the other hand the more natural we can make our environment, the more conducive to creativity it will be. I think some of the older Eastern systems of architecture have achieved some progress in this area, incorporating more light, for example.Another interesting area relating to this idea is that of building orientation. In some of the eastern systems it is fell that buildings receiving eastern sunlight are conducive to creativity, overall well being, and even better health.
