Stones and pebbles:

Biophilic design is a way to connect people and nature through design with elements that nurture the innate human-nature connection.

Using other materials is a great way to experience the advantages and disadvantages of how they work with different materials and adhesives. Here, I have improved the quality from the previous model in terms of material. I have also made the model into a more solid piece which is more suitable for a design centre. I have used a stretchy plastic material for the main parts of the model as it is rigid enough to stand but can also bend and curve in the way I prefer. Using wire is a good way to manipulate your model and make it stay in that shape, whereas the disadvantage is that it's hard to cut. Zahra Hadid uses overlapped structure for her Aliyev Centre which has inspired me to use the same style but in a way that is suitable for this design.

This design is inspired by stones to blend in with natural surroundings.Organic designs are ecosystems unto themselves, one in which no structure or human footprint dominates the preexisting land. Organic architecture is meant to be a natural extension of the land around it.
