Flower of the Desert

Choosing arid climate and Following bio mimicr design, we came to across a plant that lives in the Namibia desert, Welwitschia which is extremely sustainable in Arid areas and lives about 1000 to 1500 years. The unusual form of this plant keeps the soil under the plant cool and moist. The thick leaves lay on the sand surface and prevent wind erosion aswell.

Reclaiming Modernity-City School of Design

Nikhil Mohan

The Layout and presentation is very Geoffery bawa like, good balance of indoor and outdoor spaces, and also the transition of indoor to outdoor and vise versa is good. you have made good use of traditional elements in your design, but they could have been given a contemporary styling to it, to have a good balance between traditional and contemporary. well done with the Geoffery Bawa technique drawings.

Somewhat incongruous with the site. Lacks conceptual maturity.
