Architecture by nature

Vitruvius speculated on the thesis that people have learned to build their shelters by watching birds in the construction of their nests. This statement echoed almost two thousand years later, Bernard Rudofsky, now known as the curator of the MoMA exhibition of 1964 "architecture without architects." The two men differed in one crucial point. While Vitruvius argued that people have long since surpassed the creative abilities of their animal teachers Rudofsky believed that modern architects can still learn a lot from beavers and bees. It was not the animals as such, but their basic instincts to build their shelters. According Rudolfskyho modern world has lost touch with the essential natural intuitions as a result of an advanced civilization. Proof of this is that the person is not able to find myself in nature to form a tool or build a house without any previous experience, while most animals have an innate sense of structure. If we focus on human inspiration from natural processes, it is carrying organic logic into inorganic matter formed by man. Thus formed forms we call biomorfními. Biomorphic notion can explain the following compounds: bio-related life and organic forms, amorphous-conversion, or possible changes. The overall meaning can be thought of as converted on the basis of life. At the present level of understanding in the search for parallels between architecture and structures can shape the concept based on the acceptance of natural mathematical logic and its subsequent application in the genesis of new forms or verified by nature static diagrams. Digitization associated with direct testing of organic factors has the effect that can lead to the synthesis that it combines multiple industries (biology, bioengineering, materials engineering, architecture or art) and search for parallels between them. This research study will examine new ways of designing and manufacturing. With the combination of digital tools and technologies can affect the isolated en
