What is the phrase of architecture designed to bind the viewer to nature?

The sublime
Neo-Classical
Naturalism
Picturesque

The correct answer is: Picturesque

Picturesque is a fitting term for architecture designed to bind the viewer to nature as it refers to nature's charm, beauty, and peacefulness. The sublime (A) may refer to an overwhelming feeling of awe towards nature, but it does not necessarily imply being bound to it. Neo-Classical (B) and Naturalism (C) are architectural styles but do not specifically pertain to being bound to nature. Neo-Classical architecture is more focused on symmetry and order, while Naturalism aims to imitate nature in its design. Therefore, both options are incorrect in regards to the given question.
