+ Architects and designers often seek inspiration from nature. They seek inspiration from water, plants, animals and other natural 'structures' for use in their work. Being inpired and influenced by nature in this way is called "biomimicry" and allows architectural designs to be more energy efficient, structurally sound and also beautiful to behold.
