Nature in Architecture(原文完整版)
Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day.
①In fact, we are so used to them ②that we may even take them ③for granted without realising how much inspiration they have given us.
When we look at a pine cone, we might think how ④much it looks like the tiles ⑤on a roof.
An open flower might make us think how ⑥closely it resembles an umbrella.
It is natural ⑦to think in this way, but of course it wasn’t the umbrella ⑧that inspired the flower or the roof ⑨that inspired the pine cone.
Nature has inspired many of the ⑩fascinating designs around us, including ⑪those in architecture.
From Barcelona’s forest-like Sagrada Família ⑫to the modern style of Beijing’s Water Cube, nature ⑬is presented in various architectural designs.
Today, architects continue to explore ways ⑭to capture the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way nature ⑮works or even ⑯to make natural organisms part of a building.
People ⑰whose interest is exploring the relationship ⑱between art and science will enjoy Singapore’s ArtScience Museum.
The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in ⑲which it sits.
⑳Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, it appears to float ㉑above the waterfront promenade and the water that ㉒surrounds it.
Its roof collects rainwater and ㉓channels it down to a waterfall in the centre of the space.
The water then ㉔is recycled through the building’s ㉕plumbing system.
Visitors are often amazed to find ㉖themselves in ㉗an urban building ㉘that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.
The Eastgate Centre in Harare, Zimbabwe, is ㉙a superb example of biomimicry.
To use biomimicry is ㉚to create structures ㉛based on natural forms and ㉜processes.
Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce ㉝was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature ㉞documentary.
The insects built mounds covered in little holes ㉟designed to allow air ㊱to move freely ㊲in and out of the mounds.
㊳In a similar way, the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” ㊴covered in holes.
During the day, warm air ㊵is drawn into the building ㊶through the holes, cooling as it ㊷reaches the middle of the building.
At night, the heat ㊸absorbed by the walls during the day ㊹warms the cool air, ㊺creating a comfortable temperature inside.
The design reduces the need for traditional air ㊻conditioning and ㊼heating systems, so the building uses less energy and costs less ㊽to run.
The world’s first algae-⓵powered building is in Hamburg, Germany.
The surface of the apartment building ⓶is covered in panels that contain algae.
The algae ⓷are fed with liquid ⓸nutrients and carbon dioxide ⓹to encourage them to grow.
⓺In bright sunshine, they grow ⓻faster and provide shade.
The panels also capture heat ⓼from the sun and convert it ⓽into energy that ⓾powers the building.
And that’s not all – the algae inside the panels can ⓫be harvested and used to produce fuel.
The building therefore not only responds ⓬to its environment and uses less energy, but also ⓭reduces damage ⓮to the environment by generating its own ⓯renewable energy.
⓰Creating buildings such as these ⓱enables us to live ⓲in closer ⓳harmony with our environment.
⓴To meet the needs of today while protecting the world of tomorrow may be a challenge, but even the ㉑simplest organisms can help teach us ㉒how to achieve this.
