Biomimicry and Me


Biomimicry, http://www.biomimicry.net/. The theory is; use nature's time tested patterns and strategies to design todays buildings. In Portland this building is in the Pearl, its the same height as all the other ones, and color, brown. The difference I see is the staggered window pattern. Christopher Alexander wrote The Pattern Language decades ago and its chock full of wonderful design ideas following the same principals. I guess I should get some clients in there so I can get a look.
