Nature: The Great Inspiration of Architects

 

Nature is all around us. It impresses us with its beauty and [supply/supplies] us with everything we need to survive. It also provides some people with the inspiration to create things in a new way. The act of [creating/created] things [basing/based] on nature [calls/is called] “biomimicry.” This term is derived from the Greek words bios, meaning “________,” and mimesis, meaning “________.”

 

Architects who use biomimicry look at nature as an [incredible/incredibly] successful engineer who has already come up with answers [for/to] some of the problems they now face. They carefully study plants, animals, and other aspects of nature to learn [what/how] they work. [Additonally/As a result], they have been able to find some innovative solutions [for/to] engineering and architectural challenges.

 

 

 

The Curving Beauty of Nature

 

The Sagrada Familia is an [numerous/enormous] church in Barcelona, Spain. [Designing/Designed] by the world-famous architect Antoni Gaudi, the church is one of the most prominent [buidling/buildings] in the world. [Construction/Destruction] of this remarkable building began in 1882, and Gaudi took over responsibility for its design in 1883. Believe it or not, the building is still under construction. Some people love the Sagrada Familia and [others/the others] hate it, but [near/nearly] everyone is [fascinating/fascinated] by its unique design.

 

Gaudi believed that all architects should look to nature for inspiration. He preferred the curves [finding/found] in natural objects [than/to] the straight lines [found/founded] in [superficial/artificial] [one/ones]. This preference can [see/be seen] in all his buildings, including the Sagrada Familia. Many parts of the church [incorporates/incorporate] images and forms from nature. [Namely/For example], the church’s spires are topped with spheres that [resemble/resemble with] fruits. There are also turtles [carving/carved] into the stone bases of columns and spiral stairs that [look like/resemble with] the shells of sea creatures.

 

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Sagrada Familia is the _______. Gaudi [designing/designed] the columns inside the church to resemble trees and branches, so visitors _______ look up can feel _______ ________ they [are/were] standing in a great forest. The light that comes through the small holes all over the ceiling even [resembling/resembles] the light [to beam/beaming/beamed] through leaves in a forest. These tree-like columns are not just for decoration, [yet/though]. [Inspiring/Inspired] by trees, Gaudi gave the columns a single base that [split/splits] off into branches [near/nearly] the top. This allows them [support/to support] the roof better by distributing its weight [even/evenly]. Because Gaudi recognized the [inferiority/superiority] of natural forms, he was able to design a building that is both beautiful [and/or] functional.

 

 

A Lesson from Insects

 

The Eastgate Centre is an office building and shopping complex in Harare, Zimbabwe. [Building/Built] in 1996, it might not be as visually impressive [as/than] the Sagrada Familia. [Thus/However], the building is an excellent example of biomimicry. ________ to the hot climate of Harare, air conditioning systems can be very [cost/costly] to install, run, and [maintain/retain]. To solve this problem, the building’s architect, Mick Pearce, turned to *termite mounds for an [alternate/alternative].

 

Termite mounds are large structures [built/building/to build] by certain termite species. Scientists believe [that/what] the mounds stay cool due to a constant flow of air. Each [mound/mounds] has a network of holes [referring/referred] to as chimneys. It has a large central chimney and smaller outer chimneys that are close to the [ceiling/ground]. The heat [generates/generating/generated] by the daily activity of the termites [rise/rises] up through the central chimney, eventually [entering/escaping] through the top of the mound. [In Particular/In the meantime], cooler air is pulled in through the smaller chimneys, [keep/keeping/kept] the termites’ home at a comfortable temperature [for/during] the hot day.

 

Also, the soil [surrounding/surrounded] the mound [absolves/absorbs] heat [at/in] the hot daytime hours. [Thus/Therefore], the temperature inside the mound does not increase greatly and stays [relevantly/relatively] cool. [At/In] night, when the outside temperature goes down, the heat is finally [released/relieved]. This process [inspiring/inspired] Pearce to design an innovative climate control system.

 

The Eastgate Centre was constructed [with/without] a conventional cooling system. [Instead/In addition], Pearce used building materials that can store large amounts of heat. The floors and walls of the building absorb heat [for/during] the day, just like the soil of a termite mound. The heat is released at night, and the walls cool down, ready to store heat again [by/until] the next morning.

 

The structure of the building also helps keep the building cool. There are openings [near/nearly] the base of the building, and outside air comes into the building through them. This air is moved through the building by a system of automatic fans. [Eventually/On the contrary], the air, along with heat [generating/generated] by human activity [for/during] the day, [raises/arise/rises] upward through the building’s [external/internal] open spaces and is released through chimneys on the roof.

 

[As a result/Furthermore], the building has not only cool temperatures but also fresh air. More importantly, the Eastgate Centre uses far less energy than other buildings, [that/which] saves money and helps protect the environment from pollution. Without the inspiration Pearce received from tiny termites, none of this ____________ *(be 변형) possible.

 

[Use/Using/Used] biomimicry in architecture is just one way [which/that] humans are utilizing the lessons of nature to improve the way we do things. Biomimicry is also [using/being used] to solve problems in the fields of robotics, agriculture, and many others. [Imitating/Imitation] the ideas of nature not only [help/helps] solve problems, but it also [make/makes] us feel closer to nature. [That is/As a result], humans are more likely to stop [to destroy/destroying] the environment and start [to become/becoming] part of it instead.
