Summary:
Nature has always furnished stimulating ideas for the design of architecture, both vernacular and in the work of major architects. Inspired by Nature: Plants looks at how the plant world serves as a useful source of inspiration, whether intentional or inconscious, for great contemporary architecture.

The visual analogies underline how architects can find elegant solution and create new, sustainable, and efficient architectonic forms by the close and unsderstanding observation of nature.
