DESIGN CONCEPT: The design concept revolves around translation of a natural pattern into the built environment so it includes metaphorical as well as structural similitude with the plant’s growing form. In most plant species new growth propagates from central regions called shoot apical meristems. The study of these patterns is known as phyllotaxis. The Evolution of the form of the Hotel is extracted from the geometrical patterns found in nature so that it blends benignly in the beautiful lush green landscape. I have based the structural design of different elements in my 3d such as mullions, form of skylight and form of columns etc. on the spiral phyllotaxis pattern to give a structural similitude.
