As i begin my ResearchProposalOutline I am beginning to understand the complexity of the links between architecture and nature. I think it will be necessary to really focus on one specifics. In my research I have come across some very interesting pieces of arch. and technology. They all are related to nature in some whether aesthetically similar to natural occurrences (the Mineral House, Japan), structurally or metaphorically. The huge topic of Biomimicry (basing human technology on the ideas and evolution of nature) has also arisen in my research. (see images of car, wind turbine)
