Week 8. Biomimicry And Architecture

A canopy style membrane is to overlap the entire building. It would protect the inhabitants and allow for an extremely open feeling internals. But what shape would this canopy take.

An experiment of multiple different canopy styles, the bottom middle one was chosen.

This canopy style is modern and sleek, although it is a building inspired by nature. It is important to me to have a modern looking building still function using biomimicry.

An experiment looking at how this structure could actually stand up. I couldn't go past the Amazon Water Lilly inspired efficient structure system.

The four components i will be bringing into my final design.
Efficient Materials | Canopy | Biowave | Efficient Structure

Bringing it all together, a striking building inspired by nature.
