Portraits of Nature, an ecological research institute, which will be based on preservation and exploration of natural settings, consists of a nature research center coupled with eco tourism initiatives for the site. Instead of asking what nature is, I want to investigate the politics of thinking about nature in the context of our country, in order to test the digital architecture of cultural expression. Using generative algorithms, because today we as architects shy away from data and rely on philosophical self, using data sets and maths to generate the nature of the structure. There is a clear deficiency of such projects in India and subsequently the awareness about natural preservation is absent. Hence, a need for such a project is very high.
