Student designer Brittany Bell wanted to create a building where potentially endangered plant “seeds will be stored in the event of a future apocalypse.”
She designed this conceptual structure to imitate the architecture of a growing plant. In essence, the building is alive and adjusts itself to weather conditions, sunshine and the growth of large trees.
Although this may all seem far-out to most of us, it is the visualization and imagination of young artists such as Bell that lead us to future innovations.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Apocalyptic Architecture
- Creating architectural structures that can adapt to changing environmental conditions and preserve valuable resources during a future apocalypse.
- Endangered Seed Archive
- Developing secure storage facilities that can safeguard and preserve plant seeds in the event of ecological disasters or the threat of extinction.
- Conceptual Structure
- Exploring innovative building designs that mimic the growth and adaptive qualities of living organisms.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Architecture
- An opportunity for architects and designers to develop sustainable and adaptable structures that can withstand extreme conditions and protect valuable resources.
- Seed Conservation
- A chance for seed banks, botanical gardens, and agricultural industries to innovate in preserving and safeguarding plant biodiversity in the face of potential global crises.
- Art and Design
- An avenue for artists and designers to push the boundaries of creativity and explore futuristic concepts that inspire practical innovations in architecture and sustainability.
