dc.description.abstract |
The 'origin of living' in Earth was given birth to supreme creature of human being. Since that he interconnected with nature and survived through the millions of years. He captured the several rhythmic attributions of nature and he felt about the warmth of the land and freshness of the air, and he talked about the beauty of the flora and fauna and sparkle of the blue water. All these moral forces surrounded by man and governed by nature. He consequently helped him and dominated nature, being a part of it and observing "nature's" phenomenon of creation. Nature was given path to intellectual and physical revolution of man and he mutually connected with innumerable talented procedure. So "Architecture" became one of the visible creative result of these innumerable talents. These inspirations man interpreted as an analogy with different visual terms of nature and sciencetific in terms of studying nature's processes and applying it in his designs. Even in today most of architects illustrate about diversity of architecture according to biological concepts. Architecture and biology have unexplainable connection between with each other. Biology and architecture are vast subject areas, which have their own language of interpretations. So this is the time to study, examine, search about architectural and biological interconnections according to our intellectual vision. |
