Nature & Design
• Using biological form and functionality as the basis for man made works of design is referred to as ‘biomimicry.’
• The natural world is one of inter-related systems; eco systems, support systems, survival systems.
• There is a popular move in current design to look at the natural world and to try to mimic the ways it works in the human built world.
• Forms in nature are sometimes geometric, and sometimes not.

A chestnut exists within a system of components and processes that tie together the cosmic and the molecular; sunlight, atmosphere of water and gases, nutrients, and a
relationship to other creatures and plants all of whom are partly or fully dependent upon one another for survival.

Most roots are relatively shallow (three feet or less deep) with most roots within 12 inches of the surface. Roots extend well past the canopy drip line. Taken from University of Minnesota

Roots are like building foundations: they support the physical parts above them and anchor the tree to the ground. Roots draw in water and nutrients.

Fast-growing and robust, bamboo is a popular alternative to hardwood. Should you believe the hype? Slate recently performed a bamboo audit. The carbon sequestering grass has a lot going for it, but buyer beware:
that bamboo floor doesn’t seem so green if it was planted at the expense of native forests, grown with pesticides, and sealed with formaldehyde..

Deer shed their antlers every winter. These can then be found if you are lucky.

Inspired by the fluid movement of water. The design by Zaha Hadid Architects creates a form derived from the internal movements of water, as a single fluid gesture, where all parts are meant to convey the continuous flow
between tap, work surface, and basin.

• The process of creating Zaha Hadid’s unique exhibition design was similar to carving a sculpture from solid blocks of material.
• The table and shelf were made through a combination of hi-tech and traditional craftsmanship. The newest automotive manufacturing techniques are used to whittle solid blocks of aluminium into the basic shapes of leg and tops.
• Each piece is then hand polished, welded and polished again by expert craftsmen in the Midlands to create a singular seamless piece.
• Table and shelf become an organisation of three separate pieces suited to the gallery and its walls, which are constructed of fabric stretched over a framework, like a canvas.
• The display can be rearranged after the exhibition into an array of combinations.
