Biomorphic architecture

Biomorphic architecture is the design of building directly influenced by the animal, vegetal, human body and anatomical structure with chosen materials to create aesthetic harmony.



There is a really famous stadium in China nicknamed the “Bird's Nest”.

Herzog & de Mueron’s 2008 Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China was designed in collaboration with Chinese sculptor Ai Weiwei. The building exterior is described by the architects as “a chaotic thicket of supports, beams and stairs, almost like an artificial forest.”

I love this architecture. It represent a lot for me. 

There are also a lot of biomorphic architecture in some other places.
