Love of Lichens - Biomimetic Architecture

Lichens

The Primary lifeforms, which act as the basic colour palette of nature itself.


Autumnal colours.


The alternative dwellings of the Elven of Ivengard.


Camp and neon, like nature intended.


Cold like ice and as intricate as an icicle.


Coming to a dry-stone wall near you!


Structure like lords and ladies in bloom.



Intricate microscopic lichen structures.


Lichen Centriole internal structure.


Mars Lichen architecture.


Mars structural architecture, using lichens dense hatching of hexagonal plates (Fractals) and simbiotic forms for future Mars habitation.
