Vincent Callebaut can’t agree more. He looks to nature as a helper for building better cities. One of his great works shows this clearly. In 2008, Vincent designed (设计) a city named Lilypad. He got the idea from a huge water lily called Victoria amazonica. This plant has very large leaves. These leaves can grow up to 3 metres in diameter (直径). One leaf is strong enough to support the weight (重量) of a small child. Just like the water lily, Lilypad is round, large and strong, floating (漂浮) on water. Sounds cool, right? Lilypad doesn’t just look cool. It is also a smart city that could be useful if sea levels keep rising. This special city can hold up to 50,000 people! It can float and move with the sea water and serve as a mobile city. What’s more, at the centre (中心区) of Lilypad, there is a lake. The lake helps collect rain and clean water for people to use. Around it, there are places to live, work, shop, and have fun. There are also green gardens and streets. The design of Lilypad follows biomimicry. Biomimicry means looking at how plants and animals work and using those ideas to make new things. For example, the ideas for planes are from birds. We can see that nature is a really good teacher. By learning from it, we can find smart ways to help our world. 1. Vincent got the idea of designing Lilypad from a huge called Victoria amazonica. 2.
