This capacity can better unify the man-made elements of a site with natural surroundings. The Bloom Pavilion is an intriguing material experiment that likens a building to a plant, or even an animal, with a skin that reacts to the amount of light and heat that touches it. DOSU Studio Architecture conceived an intricate paraform tunnel from panels of 14,000 [smart thermo bi-metal tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-furniture).
