Trees, plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day. However, we are so used to them 56 we may even take them for granted without 57 (realize) how much inspiration they have given us. In fact, nature has inspired many of the most 58
(fascinate) designs around us, including those in architecture. Nature 59 (present) in various architectural designs.
Today, architects continue to explore ways 60 (capture) the beauty of natural forms, to mimic the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building. Art Science Museum, Singapore was designed to show the 61 (connect) between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits. Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building that so 62 (true) captures the beauty of natural forms. Harare’s Eastgate Centre is
63 superb example of biomimicry (仿生学). To use biomimicry is to create structures 64
(base) on natural forms and processes. Creating buildings such as these enables us to live 65
closer harmony with our environment.
