THEORY
Biomimicry transmogrifies a structure, by allowing the natural environment to permeate its form through the incorporation of light-weight, organic and sustainable components.
The structure encapsulates Biomimicry as it mimics the functions of flowers through the opening and closing of the petals (or in the Architecture's case the expansion, contraction and overlapping of its 'skin'). Through this, the structure is able to open on cold days, allowing for sunlight to warm the interior or close on hot days, keeping the interior cool and comfortable.
The structure includes, lecture theatres, tutorial rooms, a gallery, library, cafe, computer labs, a research space, workstation pods and a meeting room for staff.
