Integration of Ideas

As an attempt to develop a cohesive concept and biomimicry exemplar, the key ideas from both the practical approach and lichen research were integrated To give the following key ideas:



  • Growing out of the Site

  • Absorption and Protection from Water

  • Two elements, intimately linked and related = SYMBIOSIS. What are the two elements?

  • People and Building, Building and Site, Building and External Structure

  • Growth Pattern – branching pattern – main element in the middle, branches radiating outward, cells along branches

The possible functions of the proposed multifunction building were also explored. Possible program components include:



  • Educational/Museum Facility – Biomimicry and Site history

  • Open Air Amphitheatre

  • Restaurant and Bar
