In my research during the break I have come across three key areas of research I would like to investigate further. These areas are;
1. BIOMORPHISM
Biomorphis draws on non-geometrical naturally occurring forms, as in certain aspects of Organic architecture. More specifically nonrepresentational forms or patterns that resemble a living organism in shape or appearance.

2. BIOMIMICRY
Biomimicry or biomimetics is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems.

3. BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Biophilic design is the deliberate attempt to translate an understanding of the inherent human affinity to affiliate with natural systems and processes.
[source: dimensions, elements and attributes of biophilic design]
I have found several sources in the library, online and on TED talks. I feel that that could potentially be key drivers behind the underlying desired outcomes of my design studios.
