Future architecture....imagine a whole city with dwellings made by organic biomimicry

Thanks for sharing,Dezen.

Though biomimicry seems to shape the aesthetics of the future, our interest on that field is quite old. 1889 Paris exposition was full of objects and pavilions inspired by plants and microorganisms. The whole art nouveau aesthetics was based on it.

And even further back than that including Fibonacci sequence and Indian mathematics.

Fantastic !👍👍

Thanks computation and biomimicry are both interesting to me . Great appreciation.

Great work!

Excellent creative prospective

This is wonderful 👍!!!

THIS IS THE FUTURE

❤️❤️❤️

Which book was he reading at 1:04 ?

It’s probably his own book Biomimicry in Architecture

Looks like 'Finding Form' by Frei Otto and Bodo Rasch. Definitely worth trying to get a copy.

can you write his website or link address?

I have a question, how does an architectural student justify as to why they want to use biomimicry as a concept; because the idea is more futuristic and not as contextual. How do you use a concept of a bird skull for example and justify that as to why you would want to use that and design a building that responds to that in a very culture rich community like in some African countries.

Biomimicry is a field of study, which by itself gives you a good enough basis for a justification in an academic environment. If you want to explore something - dive into it, follow your interests. On the other hand, if you are studying architecture at a very traditional university then you are wasting everybody's time. Having somebody pop up with a biomimicry design for a building for the historical centre of Prague or a simple toilet at the very least shows a misalignment of the student and the typical purpose of architectural education. Find and surround yourself with people who are going to support your endeavour and also be very critical to its useful applications.

it's in Spanish, but here you have my Master thesis about something similar.. using matematical models to take material use to minimum.... do not persuit emulate nature! that's just a byproduct of material efficiency! repositorio.uc.cl/handle/11534/46923

I feel u all I can say i think it uses less material and it would be way simpler in future so it would be like basic technology in architectural building

You need to find a balance between the two. In fact this presentation focusses far too much on natural forms and less on human culture, the latter is actually also 'natural' and much richer to work with as a designer. I find this work pretty stale to be honest.

God is great

who invented biomimicry in the first place?

Unconsciously, people have been taking inspiration from nature since the time they started building stuff.

That's a loaded question. Humans have been using nature as an untapped source of R&D in terms of forms, structures, process and ecosystemic principles for a very long time. First famous examples of bionics might be from Da Vinci. Recently Janine Benyus popularized the design strategy and developed a few fundamental principles of the philosophy of bio-inspired design. Biomimicry might have not been invented but rather discovered as an efficient design strategy.

It's a good idea, but biology and evolution doesn't revolve around being perfect, if something is working it's good enough in the eye of evolution. We should think further, by trying to achive perfection, not just good enough.

someone tell this guy he can stop printing all this stuff and work in VR.

unfortunately, it seems like they are not building for real, but only win contests with concepts

Winning design competitions is one way to pursue potential clients like Google and Apple to pay for these buildings, the same apply to concept cars. You have to understand that most architecture you see today were paid for by monarchs who exploited labor and resources, we simply don't have the funds to build structural marvels comparable to the old.

​@@1998shasha you are clearly not active in this field and can't properly express yourself, but what I was saying is, that his whole practice is unsuccessful. winning competitions is not the aim, the aim is winning the competition with a design that is actually executable. If he is that old and still hasn't built anything, his studio is basically failing.

@@Fr00ter of course his firm has built real structures. Again I'm using the allegory of concept cars, Mercedes makes videos on concept cars because they're trying to grow a consumer's market, just because Mercedes don't make videos on making their contemporary vehicles doesn't mean they're not selling any. The same applies with this guy's firm, obviously he's built contemporary projects and is successful. However the point of the video is to highlight his biomimicry idea which as I've said has no consumers at the moment hence the competitions.

I disagree because I don't believe that architecture should be similar to nature. Se can learn always from nature but the imitation in architecture is always a mistake.
