A cultural reaction, pertaining to social and biological interactions in a design strategy of architecture, is a form of Organicism. This is when an architectural design as a whole uses the biology of living organisms, such as obtaining energy from the sun, waterproof skin/fur, and bone/muscle structure, to utilizes their effects into a manufactured design.
Examples:
- Bullet Train: Nose Like a Kingfisher Beak
- Butterfly Wings: ACTION: Analyze the makeup of a butterfly wing. EFFECT: new material with microscopic grooves, ridges and bumps. USE: The grooves force water to bead without soaking through the material — making it effectively waterproof. Cladding for buildings, thus not requiring paint or waterproofing.
