As humans, we haven't been on Earth all that long. Nature has...
In my research of architecture, it became apparent that biomimicry is one of the most fascinating ideas I've come across. The whole concept of us humans mimicking the design of what we assume to be simple creatures, is incredible.
Nowhere in nature are there square boxes, perfectly flat surfaces, or corners. Fluidity and continuity might be a huge challenge for specifiers in Architectural design, but it needs to be thought of. Perhaps we have designed homes, buildings and structures with too much aesthetic rigidity.
A facade of natural beauty may be all that is necessary to trick our minds into believing that our creations are more in-tune with nature. It may just be the future. Maybe we should look at what has survived far longer than we have.
