Geometric abstraction in the architectural inspiration of nature (Vision of design assimilation)

Abstract

The philosophy of the idea is one of the most important stages of architectural design. It is based on many sources of inspiration, such as nature, architecture, heritage, tools, languages, intellectual philosophies, civilizations and different cultures among the peoples. During the different stages of history, nature was the most important source of inspiration for design. Art, mathematics, astronomy and various different sciences, and man is still trying to excavate in order to know its inherent secrets and learn from them what is useful in the affairs of his daily life, and architecture is one of the most scientific science of nature and the deduction of nature. The architectural form inspired by abstract nature is one of the most glamorous and attractive forms for the recipient to read its mysterious and surprising design content, and some buildings designed in this way have become a symbol and icon known by these countries, such as the Sydney Opera House. Architecture in the Arab world in general and Yemen in particular, suffer from the scarcity of these unique and inspired models of nature, and in some Arab countries, they are almost finger-shaped. Western architects design them. Some of these models are inspired as transport and Tradition. Which contributes to the dissolution of this architectural style, and makes the designers try to move away from it. For fear of failure resulting from the weakness of the process of inspiration. Because there is no general framework. For how to use architectural abstraction in the inspired design of architectural ideas (and here is the research problem). In order to achieve this objective, the descriptive analytical approach was applied to the process of architectural abstraction and comparative analysis of different projects to produce a general framework for understanding and understanding how abstraction is used in the process of design inspiration of nature. The importance of research lies in the discussion of abstraction in architecture in general and architectural design in particular. In addition, its multiple roles in different design practices to lay the foundations and rules for understanding how abstraction can be used to draw inspiration from nature, for the designer to take advantage of them in the production of designs that meet different human needs.
