 Seeking the solution of the conflict between natural and artificial environment is a process going on in all fields of human activities. The transformation of the linear urban system into a cyclic system, where waste energy and matter will be used as a source of raw material, should also be performed through the transformation of its basic subsystem - house. In the last 30 years ecologically oriented building has been promoted throughout the world in order to minimize future degradation and to rehabilitate the already existing degraded environments. The realized projects described in this paper are a significant step in the evolution of human awareness of the need of different attitude towards nature at the threshold of the third millenium. In addition to energy and ecological criteria, which are satisfied in the settlements where the principles of ecological building are implemented, it is very important to create a healthy and good quality social atmosphere. The incorporation and integration of the principle of user participation in the process of planning, maintenance and creative infrastructure, as well as education and the awareness of the need to live in harmony with nature, is just as important as the design and building of the ecological structure.
