Nature is an intricate design, it holds patterns and concepts from which we can steal. From the efficiency of the water cycle to the structural intergrity of a beehive, these ideas can be incorporated into architecture. When designing without careful consideration of energy consumption, light shading, programming, and structural integrity, a project will not work. The best way to harmonize all of these factors is to examine how the natural world does it every day.
The patterns which nature exhibits are the most useful tools we can employ as architects. ​
"Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature
does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment."
R. Buckminster Fuller
Design needs strategy. Planning. Execution.
A strong design must be well thought out. It balances aethetics with functionality. The style is the host to our culture and aims to stand the test of time. It is environonmentally responsible and creates spaces to be enjoyed.
