Post-reading
1. What can you learn from this passage (Critical thinking)
Nature-inspired architectural designs are sustainable techniques in design. Methods like the use of solar panels, rain-water harvesting systems, natural heating and cooling systems, garbage, and sewage treatment systems, provide necessary resources to the users of the structure and also reduce the impact on the environment on a larger scale. It also creates awareness within the users of their responsibility towards nature. Nature-inspired friendly designs are a big challenge, which needs our joint efforts.
Activity 1 Discussion

You can answer the question from the following aspects:
Where your inspiration comes from.
How you connect nature with your design.
How your design works.
How your design benefits the environment.
The significance of nature in architecture
To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of tomorrow would be necessary. So Bionic architecture will lead the trend of the architecture. Nature-inspired, biomimetic and friendly-environment architecture benefits our physical and mental health, enabling us to live in closer harmony with our environment.
