Biomorphism became a major theme in Surrealist art, led by Arp,
who was one of the group's founders, in 1924. Along with Joan
Miró, and Yves Tanguy, he felt that biomorphic images
reflected the connection between the human subconscious
and reality more accurately

How do you describe a biomorphic shape?
Biomorphic shapes are those which are abstract but which make
the viewer think of a living form, such as a human, animal, or
plant. The word part 'bio' means 'life' and 'morph' means 'form,' so
'biomorphic' refers to something that represents a life form.

Biophilic design principles are generally
organised into three categories:
1. nature in the space,
2. nature of the space,
3. and natural analogues.
Nature in the space refers to the direct
presence of nature and often includes
multi-sensory interactions.
Biophilic Design tries to translate humans' attraction
to and desire for connection with Nature, namely
biophilia, into the design of environments

Characteristics of Biomorphic Architecture
The basic idea formed in architecture design is through a process of collaboration between humans and
nature.
Roof – Human
Plant – Light, Moisture
The symbiosis is the
mutual need to enclose a
building with a roof but
human and plant
develop a co-existence?

Summary Biophilic / Biomorphic Architecture
Biophilic / Biomorphic architecture, or
bio-organic architecture, is a style of
architectural design that emphasizes
natural shapes and patterns. As such,
biomorphic architecture is inspired by
organic forms like plants, animals, or the
natural elements.
Biomorphism models artistic design
elements on naturally occurring
patterns or shapes reminiscent of
nature and living organisms. Taken to its
extreme it attempts to force naturally
occurring shapes onto functional devices.
Biophilic design is an approach to architecture
that seeks to connect building occupants
more closely to nature. Biophilic designed
buildings incorporate things like natural lighting
and ventilation, natural landscape features and
other elements for creating a more productive
and healthy built environment for people.
