Sketch Now: Bio-Architecture

Get it Started

As society keeps growing, people, we need to keep building. The only problem is space is limited on our planet. So how do we continue to build and take up space without completely annihilating the natural beauty of our planet?

My concept, as well as others’, as you will see, is to not place a building somewhere instead of nature, but merely working both synthetic and natural structures into a single space with each other. To go along with this idea is the concept of learning how to design more efficiently from nature’s own designs.

Someone who inspired me, and who I don’t doubt will inspire you as well, is someone who has been practicing, preaching and writing about this concept for quite sometime now. You’ll probably notice quotes or ideas from him throughout my blogging career. His name is Javier Senosiain.

Javier Senosiain is an architect and the author of Bio-Architecture.

It’s sort of the Bible of how to look to nature for design ideas, the Alpha to Omega of natural habitats and structures and why they’ve lasted for ages, what works and what doesn’t work and why we should pay more attention to nature when trying to design more efficiently.

And not only are Senosiain’s theories inspiring and interesting but his designs themselves are pieces of art that reflect everything he is trying to convey to the rest of the design world.
