The combination and compiliation of materials and structure are what gives Shigeru Ban's designs such simplistic beauty. His application of natural materials such as bamboo and experimentation with paper are revolutionary in the architectural field today. These features, in addition with provisions of natural light and air are what establishes these designs as quite sustainable. However for this assignment we are required to go further into the topic of sustainability and look at the functioning of buildings based on natural systems. These images will become inspiration for form and tectonics, but how can they be used in the sense of biomimicry?
