Course Name: DESIGN STUDIO 3 – Design, Planning and Development of Economic Facilities Subject: RURAL AND URBAN INFRASTRUCTURES AS ECO-STRUCTURES Architectural Design Theme: “From BIO-INSPIRATION to BIO-ARCHITECTURE & The Quest for TECTONIC and ATECTONIC NOVELTIES in BIOMATERIALS – STRUCTURE AS ARCHITECTURE - ARCHITECTURE AS STRUCTURE & THE REVIVAL OF AUTOGENIC ORNAMENT” Architectural Design Philosophy: Hedonistic Sustainability through Biophilic Design and Vernacular Reﬂections prof. Banush Shyqeriu; ass. prof. Bardha Meta & ass. prof. Gresë Ramosaj SYNOPSIS: Architecture begins with the spark of an idea, which grows, evolves and prepares itself to enter in the realm of physical world. Hence, architecture as material entity is a synthesis of how we redesign and restructure the world with the same primordial materials our ancestors did, but always searching for the new ways to shape and express our built environment. These new ways dene our continuous quest for novelty and the poetics with which we construct these novelties. Structures remain a fundamental dener of architecture and our world, while through tectonics we give expression to the materials we construct. Architecture goes beyond utilitarian properties, it embodies hedonistic substance

INTRODUCTION 1. Studio' Design Philosophy: Hedonistic Sustainability 1.1. From Vitruvius Utilitas to Hedonistic Sustainability In his Ten Books of Architecture during the 1st century B.C.E. Vitruvius asserted that all the various types of buildings: Must be built with due reference to durability (Firmitas), convenience (Utilitas), and beauty (Venustas).

While architecture has to fulfill the three Vitruvian components, from the dawn of Industrial Revolution we have experienced an architecture which is mostly utilitarian, unpleasant and even unhealthy. Even though today's industrial facilities do not “vomit” so much smoke as their predecessors did, their image has most of the time remained within the “cold” stereotypes set centuries ago. The design philosophy which will fertilize the Design Studio course is the assertion of Hedonistic philosophy as an approach towards the architecture of pleasure and happiness, beyond the mere utilitarian buildings. The word 'hedonism' comes from the ancient Greek for 'pleasure'. Hedonism is a school of thought that argues that pleasure and happiness is the primary or most important intrinsic goods and the proper aim of human life. In architecture this philosophy is broadly defined as utilitarian parts of architecture that not just fulfill the ordinary purpose but improve the quality of life and human enjoyment.

2. Architectural Design Theme: “BIOINSPIRATION & THE QUEST FOR TECTONIC NOVELTIES IN WOOD – STRUCTURE AS ARCHITECTURE - ARCHITECTURE AS STRUCTURE & THE REVIVAL OF AUTOGENIC ORNAMENT” 2.1. Bioinspiration / Bionics / Biomimetics / Biomimicry Since the 'settlement' of human beings in this Planet, nature has constantly been called upon to act as an engineer in solving technical problems.

Bionics or Biomimetics, as we understand it today, dates back to the period between 1800 and 1925 and its proponents Alessandro Volta (electric battery), Otto Lilienthal (flying machine), and Raoul Francé (concepts). It was virtually reinvented under the strong influence of cybernetics in the 1960s by H. v. Foerster and W. McCulloch. The term biomimetics arose simultaneously with a slightly different connotation. “Bioinspiration” is a convenient modern overarching term that embraces everything from bionics and biotechnology to bioinspired fashion design.

According to Werner Nachtigall, the German language term Bionik originally comes from the English word "bionics", which was coined by the US Air Force Major J.E. Steele at a conference entitled "Bionics Symposium: Living prototypes – the key to new technology" in 1960, supposedly as a combination of the words "biology" and "technics" or "electronics". In German, the term "Bionik" has found a very expressive reinterpretation in the ﬁrst and last syllables of the words Biologie [biology] and Technik [technology]. In the English-speaking world, the term "biomimetics" has appeared as equivalent to the German "Bionik" and is commonly used. Otto Schmidt coined this term in the 1950s. As the part "mimetic" suggests a mimicking of nature, the term is controversial. Recently, "Bioinspiration" has been used more often in the same context, but seems to be too general to prevail. Another solution for the continuing terminology discussion is to also use the term "bionik" in English. Nowadays, the three terms bionics, bionik and biomimetics are used synonymously.

2.2. Poetics of Architecture Like everything in our material culture, every act of architecture has its poetics, that is to say a 'reading' speciﬁc to its conception and realisation. What is poetics? Strictly speaking, poetics is the theory of literature and it concerns how poetry and other creative writing should be 'read' – that is, understood and evaluated.

Etymologically poetics stems from the Greek term ποιεΐν [poiein 'to make']. Poiesis is therefore by default related to making, fabrication, production (as much as described by Aristotle in his Metaphysics as the act of production following the thinking, noesis). In architecture, poetics has come to ﬁll a similar role, that of “making” and “reading”.

POETICS, NOT POETRY We should emphasize that poetics is not used as synonymous to poetry. De facto, poetry is the form of literary art 'in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, it's apparent meaning.' As we have already set, poetics per se instead, in its classical dimension, is linked to production.

2.3. Structure, Construction, Tectonics 'Structure' should be understood to mean a network of relationships of elements or of elementary processes'. - Wolfgang Wieser Through tectonics the architect may make visible, in a strong statement that intensiﬁed kind of experience of reality which is the artist's domain—in our case the experience of forces related to forms in a building. Thus structure, the intangible concept, is realized through construction and given visual expression through tectonics. - Eduard F. Sekler

The simplest way of describing the function of an architectural structure is to say that it is the part of a building which resists the loads that are imposed on it. All of these loads tend to distort the building envelope and to cause it to collapse; it is to prevent this from happening that a structure is provided.

The function of a structure may be summed up, therefore, as being to supply the strength and rigidity which are required to prevent a building from collapsing. More precisely, it is the part of a building which conducts the loads which are imposed on it from the points where they arise to the ground underneath the building, where they can ultimately be resisted.

Strength, Stiﬀness, Stability, Synergy Structures must be designed to satisfy three Ss and should satisfy all four Ss of structural design: 1. Strength to prevent breaking 2. Stiﬀness to prevent excessive deformation 3. Stability to prevent collapse 4. Synergy to reinforce architectural design.

2.4. The New Structuralism The New Structuralism announces a new order in design and construction. With the onset of digital technologies, existing parameters have shifted. The old order of standardised design and its established processes no longer hold sway; contemporary architectural design can now be characterised by irregularity, and an appetite for producing customised non-standard, complex, curvilinear forms. The shift in design and production technologies requires a seamless design approach that fully acknowledges the interdependence of design and fabrication. Design is no longer wholly dictated by form with structure following behind; structure becomes integral to form-ﬁnding.

2.5. Novel Tectonics Novel Tectonics leads to a non standardized approach towards architectural expression, which in one hand comes as a result of environmental constraints (i.e. building envelope) and in the other hand from the fabrication logic itself. To realize this, it is required a close and intensiﬁed collaboration in-between innovative architects, engineers and fabricators.

From Biological DESIGN to Architectural DESIGN From ancient times to the latest science development it has been (scientiﬁcally) proven that knowledge from biology can be used for technical developments in engineering, materials science and architecture. Inspiration from biology has been a wide concern of 19th and 20th century architects, while nowadays advances in science and technology especially in the topics related to structure-function relationships in diverse biological systems shows how knowledge from biology can be used for technical developments (bio-inspiration, biomimetics) in engineering and architecture. “Nature does nothing uselessly.” Aristotle

Diatoms are algae that live in houses made of glass. They are the only organism on the planet with Zoology cell walls composed of transparent, opaline silica. Diatom cell walls are ornamented by intricate 14. Diatoms Surirella and striking pa erns of silica. 26. Pecten jacobaeus Diatoms have light-absorbing molecules that collect energy from the sun and turn it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Diatoms are generally 2 to 200 micrometers in size, with a few larger species. Their yellowishbrown chloroplasts, the site of photosynthesis, are typical of heterokonts, having four membranes Image and containing pigments such as the carotenoid fucoxanthin. Diatoms are divided into two groups that are dis nguished by the shape of the frustule: the centric diatoms and the pennate diatoms.Pennate diatoms are bilaterally symmetric. Each one of their valves have openings that are slits along the raphes and their shells are typically elongated parallel 14. Diatoms Surirella to these raphes. They generate cell movement through cytoplasm that streams along the raphes, always moving along solid surfaces. Surirella is a genus of diatoms in the family Surirellaceae.

Weavers are named for their elaborately woven nests. The nests vary in size, shape, material used, and construc on techniques from species to species. Materials used for building nests include fine leaf fibers, grass, and twigs. Many species weave very fine nests using thin strands of leaf fiber, though some, like the buffalo-weavers, form massive un dy s ck nests in their colonies, which may Image have spherical woven nests within. The sociable weavers of Africa build apartment-house nests, in which 100 to 300 pairs have separate flask-shaped chambers entered by tubes at the bo om. Most species weave nests that have narrow entrances, facing downward.The birds build their nests 37. Ploceus nests together for protec on, o en several to a branch. Usually the male birds weave the nests and use them as a form of display to lure prospec ve females.

31. Ipomoea alba

Schizophyllum commune is a species of fungus in the genus Schizophyllum. The mushroom resembles undula ng waves of ghtly packed corals or loose Chinese fan. "Gillies" or "split gills" vary from creamy yellow to pale white in colour. The cap is small, 1–4 cen metres wide with a dense yet spongey body texture. It is known as the split-gill mushroom because of the unique longitudinally divided nature of the "gills" on the underside of the cap. This mushroom is found throughout the world. It is found in the wild on decaying trees a er rainy seasons followed by dry spells where the mushrooms are naturally collected. It is known for its high medicinal value and aroma c taste profile. It has recently a racted the medicinal industry for its immunomodulatory, an fungal, an neoplas c and an viral ac vi es that are higher than those of any other glucan complex carbohydrate. They grow in shelf-like arrangements, without stalks. The gills, which produce basidiospores on their surface, split when the mushroom dries out, earning this mushroom the common name split gill. It is common in ro ng wood. The mushrooms can remain dry for decades and then revived with moisture. Ipomoea alba, some mes called the tropical white morning-glory or moonflower or moon vine, is a species of night-blooming morning glory, na ve to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, from Argen na to northern Mexico, Florida and the West Indies. Though formerly classified as genus Calonyc on, species aculeatum, it is now properly assigned to genus Ipomoea, subgenus Quamoclit, sec on Calonyc on. It is a perennial, herbaceous liana growing to a height of 5–30 m tall with twining stems. The leaves are en re or three-lobed, 5–15 cm long, with a 5–20 cm long stem. The flowers are fragrant, white or pink, and large, 8–14 cm diameter. The flowers open quickly in the evening and last through the night, remaining open un l touched by the morning dew.

Research Group: Albion Jakupi; Endrit Ahmeti; Rinesa Hasani Diatoms play a fundamental role due to their massive contribu on to global photosynthe c oxygen produc on. A unique feature of diatom anatomy is that they are surrounded by a cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide), called a frustule. Diatoms are ubiquitous monocellular microalgae, responsible for about 20-25% of the global oxygen produced by photosynthesis. Living in environments where sunlight is not so easily accessible, evolu on shaped diatoms in order to exploit light with high efficiency. In par cular, diatoms are provided with an external, micro- and nanopa erned silica shell, the frustule, surprisingly similar to ar ficial photonic crystals and able to manipulate light in many different ways.

13. Diatoms Actinoptychus and Arac.

Diatoms are a major group of algae,speciﬁcally microalgae, found in the oceans, Zoology waterways and soils of the world.They are microscopic elements. Tricera um is characterized by valves with eleva ons bearing ocelli, valvar surface with pseudoloculi, some mes poorly developed, mantle projected outwards in the valvar margin and valves generally tripolar, rarely bipolar or tetrapolar .Valves are triangular with straight or concave sides. An eleva on with one ocellus and one rimoportula appears in each corner. The valvar surface is areolate; arcolae in radial disposi on.

Highly variable in color; most commonly purple, but can also be orange, orange-ochre, yellow, reddish, or shades of brown.These sea stars are able to regenerate arms that are lost and are thought to live up to 20 years. Average arm radius in CA/OR is around 9 cm but can reach 3x this size. Individuals usually have 5 arms but this can vary from 4 to 7. Aboral surfaces have many small white spines arranged in detached groups or in a re culate pa ern, generally forming a star-shaped design on central part of disk . Tube feet on the undersides of arms have suckers that allow them to remain a ached to rock in high wave energy shores.

Aldrovanda vesiculosa, commonly known as the waterwheel plant, is the sole extant species in the flowering plant genus Aldrovanda of the family Droseraceae. The plant captures small aqua c invertebrates using traps similar to those of the Venus flytrap. The traps are arranged in whorls around a central, free-floa ng stem, giving rise to the common name. This is one of the few plant species capable of rapid movement. While the genus Aldrovanda is now monotypic, up to 19 ex nct species are known in the fossil record. While the species displays a degree of morphological plas city between popula ons, A. vesiculosa possesses a very low gene c diversity across its en re range. A. vesiculosa has declined over the last century to only 50 confirmed extant popula ons worldwide. These are spread across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.[5] However, poten ally invasive popula ons exist in the eastern United States. It is kept by hobbyists. Pediastrum is a genus of green algae, in the family Hydrodictyaceae.It is a photoautotrophic, nonmo le coenobial (fixed number of cells) green algae that inhabits freshwater environments. Pediastrum reproduces asexually by producing autocolonies. The protoplast of each parent cell gives rise to a biflagellate zoospore for each cell in the parent colony. The zoospores are freed from the parent cell within a vesicle and then arrange themselves into the cellular arrangement for that par cular species. The cells then enlarge un l they reach full size.

Agave, , genus of the some 200 species of the family Asparagaceae (formerly Agavaceae), na ve to arid and semiarid regions of the Americas, par cularly Mexico, and the Caribbean. The genus contains a number of economically important species, especially those required for the produc on of mescal liquors, including the blue agave used for tequila. Sisal , henequen , and cantala are signiﬁcant sources of ﬁbre and are of interest as poten al bioenergy crops. The century plant, or maguey , and blue agave are the primary sources of agave nectar, a syrupy sweetener. Addi onally, a number of species are grown as ornamentals in desert landscaping.

Research Group: Dardan Hasani; Rinor Reka The common cockle was one of the many invertebrate species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in the landmark 1758 10th edi on of Systema Naturae, where it was given its old binomial name Cardium edule. The species name is derived from the La n adjec ve ĕdūlis "edible". Italian naturalist Giuseppe Saverio Poli erected the genus Cerastoderma in 1795, making the common cockle the type species as Cerastoderma edule. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek words keras "horn" and derma "skin". For many years it was referred to by both names. Other common names in English are edible cockle and common edible cockle. On account of its heart-like shape, it is called the "heart mussel" in German and Scandinavian languages (Hertzmuschel and Hjertemusling). It typically reaches from 3.5 cen meters (1.4 in) to 5 cen meters (2.0 in) in length, but some mes it reaches 6 cen meters (2.4 in). The shells are pale or whi sh yellow, grubby white, or brown. The shell is oval, and covered by ribs, which are ﬂa ened in the middle part of the shell. The diges ve glands are light brown to dark green. In contrast, the similar lagoon cockle has an elongated shell posteriorly, black diges ve glands and is found in substrate of stagnant water.

Elysia crispata is typically green with white spots, however, individuals with other colors can be found. Some have a rainbow of blues and yellows decora ng their frilled bodies. The elongated visceral mass of Elysia crispata lies dorsally on top of the foot of the animal. The parapodia, dorsal to the visceral mass, form the dis nctly ruﬄed, le uce-like appearance on the dorsal surface of the body. This characteris c is responsible for the common name of the species, the le uce sea slug. Although Elysia crispata is a mollusk, it does not have a mantle cavity, gills, or an osphradium, but does have a foot and radula. Elysia crispata lives on coral reefs and in mangrove lagoons of the Caribbean Sea, where it eats green algae and can store the algal chloroplasts in its own ssues. It is o en found “basking” in the sun in order to provide energy. 40. Elysia crispata

European Hornbeam or Common Hornbeam is a medium-sized ornamental deciduous tree that grows 40 feet (~12m) to 60 feet (~18m) in height and 40 feet (~12m) wide. The dense dark green leaves of summer, bright yellow leaves of fall, and smooth gray bark add beauty to the landscape year-round. The tree is a member of the Betulaceae or Birch Family. European Hornbeam is found widespread in Europe and western Asia. It has the hardest wood of all the trees in Europe. The wood has been used to make furniture and flooring. The genus name, Carpinus, is La n for "hornbeam." The species name, betulus, is La n and means "birch or birch-like." The common name, European Hornbeam, is derived from "horn," meaning hard, "beam," meaning tree in Old English, and European signifying its place of origin. The flowers are male (1.5 inches long and yellow) and female catkins (3 inches long and green) that appear in April and May before the foliage appears. It is pollinated by the wind. The fruit is a small hard brown nutlet with 3-lobed bracts and appears from September to October. European Hornbeam a racts small birds and mammals. Macrolepiota is a genus of white spored, gilled mushrooms of the family Agaricaceae. The fungus was first described in 1772 by Italian naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, who named it Agaricus procerus. Rolf Singer transferred it to the genus Macrolepiota in 1948. The height and cap diameter of a mature specimen may both reach 30 - 40 (50) cm. The s pe is rela vely thin and reaches full height before the cap has expanded. The s pe is very fibrous in texture which renders it inedible. The surface is characteris cally wrapped in a snakeskinlike pa ern of scaly growths. The immature cap is compact and egg-shaped, with the cap margin around the s pe, sealing a chamber inside the cap. At full maturity, the cap is more or less flat, with a chocolate-brown umbo in the center that is leathery to touch. Dark and cap-coloured flakes remain on the upper surface of the cap and can be removed easily. The gills are crowded, free, and white with a pale pink nge some mes present. The spore print is white. It has a pleasant nu y smell. When sliced, the white flesh may turn a pale pink.

Length an inch and three-fourths, height an inch and a-half.

Has a translucent body with a variation of colors. The rhinophores protruding from the back can range from blue to red to green. The slug’s color is known to fade or intensify with the sequestration of chloroplasts within its tissues. The more recently a slug has eaten, the more colorful it will appear. Has the ability to expand its parapodia in order to capture more energy from the sun, or fold them in close to decrease its vulnerability.

20. Macrolepiota

Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) branches grown under optimal light conditions. During the ﬁrst 3 years of life, normally leaf-bearing branches of planted, unpruned hornbeams, grown under good light conditions, formed 2-3-mm-wide tree rings. After that, growth was reduced abruptly, by over 90%. An internal factor triggered the change from a long-shoot to a short-shoot phase. No important structural changes take place. Possibly, the terminal ground tissue cells with heavily thickened cell walls, which are typical of juvenile tree rings, will disappear.

Macrolepiota is characterized by an absence of clamp connections, a pileal surface ﬁnely granular or with small concolorous squamules. broad squamulate surfaces are formed in a radial direction toward the periphery, might be in a stellate or cog-wheel manner; annulus simple or thickened at the lower surface towards the exterior.

The skin is translucent. Visible colors therefore come from internal tissues and organs or any material that might be incorporated into the skin. Translucent skin is particularly important for kleptoplasty since radiant energy from sunlight must reach internally stored chloroplasts.

Research Group:Blerina Zahiti; Blerta Hyseni Papilio palinurus, the emerald swallowtail, emerald peacock, or green-banded peacock, is a bu erfly of the genus Papilio of the family Papilionidae. It is na ve to Southeast Asia, but is regularly kept in bu erfly houses around the world.The genus name Papilio comes from the La n word papilio meaning bu erfly. The species name palinurus derives from Palinurus, the name of the pilot of Aeneas's boat in Virgil's Aeneid.Papilio palinurus has a wingspan reaching about 8–10 cen metres (3.1–3.9 in). The dorsal sides of the wings are covered by a powder of green scales and the background vary from dark greenish to black, with broad bright emerald green metallic bands. The iridescent green sheen of the bands of this bu erfly is not produced by pigments, but is structural colora on produced by the microstructure of the wing scales. They refract the light and give rise to blue and yellow visible reflec ons, producing the percep on of green color when addi vely mixed.

Lyssacinosida is an order of glass sponges belonging to the subclass Hexasterophora. These sponges can be recognized by the parenchymal spicules usually being unconnected, unlike in other sponges in the subclass where the spicules form a more or less ghtly connected skeleton. New Zealand’s surrounding deep waters have become known as a diversity hotspot for glass sponges (Porifera: Hexac nellida) in recent years. Their body also consists of three parts in total: the inner and outer peripheral trabecular networks, and ﬁnally, the choanosome. 27. Glass sponge Lyssacinosida

4.Waterwheel plant Adrovanda vesiculosa

21. Pediastrum biradiatum

Aldrovanda vesiculosa, commonly known as the waterwheel plant, is the sole extant species in the flowering plant genus Aldrovanda of the family Droseraceae. The plant captures small aqua c invertebrates using traps similar to those of the Venus flytrap. The traps are arranged in whorls around a central, free-floa ng stem, giving rise to the common name. This is one of the few plant species capable of rapid movement.While the genus Aldrovanda is now monotypic, up to 19 ex nct species are known in the fossil record. While the species displays a degree of morphological plas city between popula ons, A. vesiculosa possesses a very low gene c diversity across its en re range.A. vesiculosa has declined over the last century to only 50 confirmed extant popula ons worldwide. These are spread across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.However, poten ally invasive popula ons exist in the eastern United States.It is kept by hobbyists. Pediastrum reproduces asexually by producing autocolonies. The protoplast of each parent cell gives rise to a biflagellate zoospore for each cell in the parent colony. The zoospores are freed from the parent cell within a vesicle and then arrange themselves into the cellular arrangement for that par cular species. The cells then enlarge un l they reach full size. Each cell can generate a daughter autocolony with exactly the same number and arrangement of cells as the parent colony.Pediastrum reproduces sexually via the fusion of small, biflagellate gametes that are released from the parent cell. Physostegia virginiana, the obedient plant, obedience or false dragonhead,is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is na ve to North America, where it is distributed from eastern Canada to northern Mexico.Physostegia are known commonly as obedient plants because a flower pushed to one side will o en stay in that posi on.The name “false dragonhead” refers to the dragonheads of the related Dracocephalum,a genus to which the plant once belonged.
