What is the main idea of this part
1 Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we
enjoy their beauty every day. In fact, we are so used to
them that we may even take them for granted without
realising how much inspiration they have given us.
When we look at a pine cone, we might think how much
it looks like the tiles on a roof. An open flower might
make us think how closely it resembles an umbrella. It
is natural to think in this way, but of course it wasn’t
the umbrella that inspired the flower or the roof that
inspired the pine cone.
Inspiration given by nature.

2 Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating
designs around us, including those in architecture. From
Barcelona’s forest-like Sagrada Familia to the modern
style of Beijing’s Water Cube, nature is presented in
various architectural designs. Today, architects continue
to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms,
to mimic the way nature works or even to make natural
organisms part of a building.

ArtScience Museum, Singapore
3 People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science
will enjoy Singapore’s ArtScience Museum. The building was designed to show
the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it
sits. Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float above the waterfront
promenade and the water that surrounds it. Its roof collects rainwater and
channels it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space. The water
is then recycled through the building’s plumbing system. Visitors are often
amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the
beauty of natural forms.

The Eastgate Centre, Harare
4 Harare’s Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry. To use biomimicry
is to create structures based on natural forms and processes. Zimbabwean
architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature
documentary in which termites were constructing their nests. The insects built
mounds covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out
of the mounds. In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in
holes. During the day, warm air is drawn into the building through the holes,
cooling as it reaches the middle of the building. At night, the heat absorbed by
the wall during the day warms the cool air, creating a comfortable temperature
inside. The design reduces the need for traditional air conditioning and heating
systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less to run.

The Algae House, Hamburg
5 The world’s first algae-powered building is in Hamburg, Germany. The
surface of the apartment building is covered in panels that contain algae. The
algae are fed with liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to
grow. In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade. The panels also
capture heat from the sun and convert it into energy that powers the building.
And that’s not all – the algae inside the panels can be harvested and used to
produce fuel. The building therefore not only responds to its environment and
uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating its
own renewable energy

6 Creating buildings such as these enables us to live in closer harmony with
our environment. To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of
tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the simplest organisms can help teach
us how to achieve this.
