Biomorphic Architecture:
Biomorphic Architecture:
Nature has been the biggest inspiration for architecture throughout history, and every era finds its way to respond and adapt to nature while maintaining the humanistic identity and efficiency of the structure. One of the contemporary approaches that got influenced by nature is Biomorphic Architecture. It is a modern architectural style that adopts the idea of embracing natural shapes and patterns into the architecture. Biomorphism aims at turning naturally organic shapes into functional structures. It is also called Bio-organic architecture that has its essence in the works of leading figures in the Art Nouveau movement Fractal Architecture Several architectural styles have their principles based on the inspiration of nature.
Fractals:
provide a medium for the expression of irregular, organic curves, and natural shapes. They help reduce the complex patterns of nature to something comprehensible. Fractals are naturally present all around us, from the growth of pineapples and pinecones to the formation of ice crystals and tree branches. Hence, it only makes sense that architects looking at nature for inspiration applied fractals in their structures as well.
