Introduction
Main body
Conclusion
There is much inspiration from nature in our daily lives, and nature has also inspired many of the most fascinating designs, including those in architecture.
Introduction
Main body
The author shows three examples of architecture which are inspired by nature.
Conclusion
Nature-inspired buildings enable us to live in closer harmony with our environment.
Para. 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.

Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating designs around us, including those in architecture. From Barcelona’s (巴塞罗那) forest-like Sagrada Familia (圣家族大教堂) 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 (模仿) the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building.

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 though the building’s plumbing system (管道系统). Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.

ArtScience Museum, Singapore
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.

Q1 What’s the purpose of designing the ArtScience Museum
Q2 What can the roof be used for And how does the water recycle
The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits.
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.
The Eastgate Centre, Harare (哈拉雷，津巴布韦首都)
Harare’s Eastgate Centre is a superb example of biomimicry (仿生学). 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 (白蚁) 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.

Para. 4
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.

Para. 5
The Algae House, Hamburg(汉堡藻屋)
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.

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.
Para. 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.

Though, the goal is a challenge, we can make proper use of the nature to achieve it.
