Abstract This study is an attempt to understand architecture linking between nature and society focused on the concept of nature in social ecology advocated by Murray Bookchin in 1960s. Social ecology firmly opposes to the position of environmental fascism which insists that ecological crisis's reason is human because it detests human. So Bookchin proposes new concept of nature to prevent from a partial point of view about nature and he aims to ecological society by ecological dialectic. Meanwhile contemporary ecological buildings have been tried to build for overcoming the dichotomous relations. But it has shared the conceptual properties appearing in various ecological thoughts and theories. It can also give confusion to architectural decisions. Because of this reason, we need to understand architecture being between nature and society. With this study, we will expect ecological society both consisting of social-ecological building in having potential abilities and interacting nature with society.
