Biophilia: Curving Conventional Architecture

The design approach describes how organic qualities express themselves in various aspects of architecture. Space is intended to be a botanical research center. The idea develops on how biophilic design is cast in architecture. Normally, the design process begins with architecture and ends with the landscape; but, in this situation, landscape design influences and evolves the surrounding environment. The design includes different types of effects such as layering, fraying, and organic connecting relations with the formal structure were all addressed.
