Organic architecture and geometric shapes in nature

-




This temple in India was designed by Iranian-Canadian Architect Fariborz Sahba in 1986 to resemble a giant lotus flower. The building is a Bahá’í House of Worship, which means the followers of any sect, denomination, religion, philosophy, or ideal are welcome. The floral design was symbolic of beauty and grace, suggesting that perhaps one day humanity will be a bit more welcoming to all worshipers. I like it's geometric and repetitive structure, which is often visible in nature.



"Hive" was designed by Heatherwick Studios to look like a tree grove. Inside the Learning Hub actually feels like a hive, integrating formal and informal learning spaces to create a comfortable, casual environment. Space is interspersed with gardens, balconies, and nooks. While visitors may be taken with the outstanding exterior aesthetics, the inside is every bit as organic and harmonious. It is isolated from the outside world and has free space in the inside and so will have my building. I believe it will let residents spend more time outdoors in an isolated, safe green space.

To make my design more suited, geometric and boxy, I decided to morph circles into hexagons. This shape is also very common in nature.
A hexagon shape was also used in Dema (floor).

My boards are going to be white and clear as the one's bellow. On the first one, I am going to put my design in a 3D perspective, which shows it the best. I'm also going to include there a concept and development sketches, picture of elevation and cropped close up views. On the second board, I'm going to add a floor plan of a whole house and then separated flat and add comments about technic specifications. Architecture boards

Colours, materials and location

I'd like to use bright, cold colours, but also add a bit of yellow- as it is a part and parcel of the album Trench, which is my main inspiration for this design. When people who are watching trench from the above in Jumpsuit music video throwdown yellow flower petals, they turn back to normal the main character. The colour yellow gives him strength and hope. Yellow is the colour of sunshine, hope, and happiness, so due to a number of researches it positively affects people surrounded by it. To stick with "cold" aesthetic I looked for metal elevation that doesn't have to be for instance silver or gold, but can be any colour (yellow in this case). I decided to use yellow pigmented steel. yellow-painted steel using steel in architecture Initially, I wanted the main construction to be made out of concrete, however making research I decided to change it for white-painted bricks.  as  it is very durable and long-lived. It usually does ...
