Images of influence

Design and geometry formed from nature and systems biology


Cell
The picture of the cell, which seems to be numerous cells stuck together, creates a interesting geometry, however architectural-wise i believe it would be unstable.
White/Red blood cells
These blood cells also have a very interesting geometry, especially the middle cell, i could see it as a building that is formed with numerous curvilinear geometries.
Cell
The image above is something that i would like to consider as being part of the wall of my cell-structure, in that through these holes, it would emphasise the influence from cell as well as emphasise the cell-like structure of the building. It would also create a lovely sense of shading through the illumination of natural lighting.
Cell
The cell above is almost similar to the very first cell in that it seems like separate cells are stuck onto each other to create another big cell.I believe this geometry would also be interesting in terms of architecture, as from cutting the form in half and having a flat base, it would be quite stable, and each of the spheres that are popping out could also create a interesting form.
