"The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God" – Euclid. In this Materialistic World Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world. These patterns recur in different contexts and can sometimes be modeled mathematically. Architecture has always been tied with the patterns and orders of Nature, humans, living creatures, and living organisms and regarded it as a source of inspiration for years. The architecture defined by natural patterns explores a new methodology to interconnect scientific evidence with creative design in the field of architecture.
The biological processes of natural selection and sexual selection explain patterns in living things. In this workshop, we will talk about natural patterns and formulas including symmetries, trees, spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tessellations, cracks, and stripes.
Gradually Students will get into the form and formula of the human body, which is a mosaic pattern of DNA mutations. The pattern in human DNA and cells like Voronoi, human protein, protein atlas has certain patterns which have a strong application in Architecture.
Students will learn about Biornametics –which is an emerging contemporary design practice that explores a new methodology to interconnect scientific evidence with creative design in the field of architecture. It is based on digital techniques that assemble from controlling programs and codes, less concerned with serial rationality but with algorithmic, digital operations and connecting the processes of planning and production.
The workshop will also cover Biomorphic forms and patterns, which refer to many buildings across the globe, exhibit nature-like characteristics, making them interesting, captivating, contemplative, and absorptive.
Students will learn about Microbial architecture, how architecture could shape our Microbiome. Architecture has a good role to expose us to good bacteria, and prevent us from the bad ones.
Students will learn about the references of the applications of how natural and biological patterns and living organisms are closely connected to the geometry of architecture along with some case studies.
