22、识到它们给了我们多少灵感。当我们看到一个松果，我们可能会认为它看起来多么像屋顶上的瓦片。一朵开着的花可能会让我们觉得它和雨伞是多么的相似。以这种方式思考是很自然的，但当然不是雨伞启发了花朵，也不是屋顶启发了松果。大自然启发了我们周围许多最迷人的设计，包括建筑设计。从巴塞罗那的森林般的神圣家族大教堂到北京水立方的现代风格，大自然在各种建筑设计中都得到体现。今天，建筑师继续探索如何捕捉自然形态之美，模仿自然的运行方式，甚至使天然有机物成为建筑的一部分。新加坡滨海湾金沙艺术科学博物馆对探索艺术与科学之间的关系感兴趣的人可以欣赏新加坡的金沙艺术科学博物馆。该建筑物旨在展示自然和建筑物所在的现代城市环境
23、之间的联系。它的形状像一朵莲花，漂浮在海滨步行道和周围的水面上。它的屋顶收集雨水，并让其垂直流到空当中心，形成35米高的瀑布。然后，水通过建筑的管道系统循环使用。游客常常惊奇地发现，他们置身于一座城市建筑中，却非常真实地捕捉到了自然形态的美。哈拉雷，东门中心哈拉雷的东门中心是仿生学极好的典范。利用生物模拟技术是在自然形态和进程的基础上创造结构。津巴布韦建筑师米克皮尔斯在观看一部白蚁筑巢的自然纪录片时受到启发，并创造了这个建筑。这些白蚁在土丘上留有小洞，让空气自由进出。同样地，东门中心的“皮肤”上也布满了洞。白天，温暖的空气通过这些洞被吸进建筑物，当它到达建筑物中间时就会冷却。晚上，白天墙壁吸收
24、的热量会使室内的冷空气变暖，创造舒适的温度。该设计减少了对传统空调和供暖系统的需求，因此这座建筑消耗较少的能源，使用成本较低。汉堡，藻类之家世界上第一座以藻类提供电的建筑位于德国汉堡。公寓楼的表面覆盖着含有藻类的面板。藻类以液态营养和二氧化碳为养料，以促进它们的生长。在明亮的阳光下，它们长得更快，提供阴凉。太阳能面板还能从太阳中获取热量，并将其转化为提供给建筑物的能量。这还不是全部电池板内的藻类可以被收集并用于生产燃料。因此，该建筑不仅能对环境作出反应，减少能源消耗，而且还能通过生产自己的可再生能源来减少对环境的破坏。建造诸如此类的建筑能使我们在与环境更和谐的状况中生活。在保护明天的世界的同时满足今天的需要可能是一个挑战，但即使是最简单的生物体也可以帮助我们实现这一点。
