Summary/Abstract: The study of target forms of living was based on nature observations and an attempt at their cultural transposition through artistic activities. The metaphorical images of the forms of residence presented in many variants show its adaptability to various, unique natural conditions. The context is both an inspiration and a problem task, to which the answer is a specific form of arrangement, suited to its surroundings and corresponding to the existing spatial situation.Individual projects, which in fact constitute autonomous works, are also parts of the process of searching for layouts of architectural objects suited to the place. Small-scale clay sculptures located in the context of the natural landscape of the Kashubian region draw attention to the very beginning of the search for form and the way it is situated in space. The work carried out cyclically since 2016 was subject to an initial classification systematising the achieved effects and facilitating comparative work within the selected groups of solutions. The thematic division based on the problematic threads of field situations, in which the original arrangement of elements was arranged, seems to best illustrate the issue.The thesis is the conviction that it is advisable to be inspired by natural conditions in artistic activities when formulating design guidelines. The aim of the project is to find the regional natural conditions of the Kashubian Lake District, adaptable in the creation of urban solutions. The characteristic architecture of a Kashubian village with a centuries-old history is a regional value, but it is not the only model for contemporary architectural interventions in the landscape. Perhaps the bionic trail could be an alternative solution, being a special remedy for the shortages of contemporary forms of housing (both architectural objects and their urban relations). The study of the achieved creative effects may direct the search for solutions and formulas that are not obvious in the field of design.
