MANAS BHATIA’S NAUTILUS BIOARCHITECTURE FOR THE FUTURE
Harnessing the timeless beauty of the golden ratio, Manas Bhatia envisions a futuristic cityscape where floating skyscrapers unravel like Nautilus shells. The structures of the Nautilus Bioarchitecture series, visualised by AI tools including Midjourney, LookX, and ChatGPT, are enveloped with landscaped gardens and terraces, creating a verdant oasis amidst the vast expanse of the ocean. Their intricate spiral patterns, governed by the Fibonacci sequence, hold a sense of harmony and proportion that transcend mere functionality with optimized spatial layouts and enhanced structural stability. For the architect, it is important to look to the past, where the marriage of mathematics and architecture has yielded some of the most iconic and enduring creations in human history, to shape the architecture of tomorrow with a more harmonious and sustainable built environment.
FLOATING CITYSCAPE BASED ON HISTORIC MATHEMATIC PRINCIPLES
Embedded within the fabric of our universe, the golden ratio has long served as a guiding principle in both architecture and nature. Dating back to ancient civilizations, this mathematical ratio, approximately 1.618, has been revered for its ability to create compositions of sublime beauty and proportion. From the Parthenon in Athens to the pyramids of Giza, examples of the golden ratio abound in architectural masterpieces throughout history.
But its influence extends far beyond the realm of human construction, permeating the natural world in the spiral patterns of Nautilus shells, the branching of trees, and the proportions of the human body. Recognizing this inherent harmony between mathematics and aesthetics, Indian architect Manas Bhatia, among his contemporaries, seeks to integrate these principles to realize buildings that resonate with the rhythms of nature. ‘Could we create buildings that mimic the resilience and adaptability of these natural forms?’ he questions. It is a question that resonates deeply in today’s world, where concerns about climate change and urbanization loom large. Bioarchitecture offers a glimpse into a more sustainable future. ‘By harnessing the power of nature-inspired design, we can build cities that are not just beautiful, but also resilient and adaptable,’ says Bhatia.
FUSING MATHEMATICS AND ARCHITECTURE USING AI
Beyond aesthetic appeal, the application of these principles provide architects with a versatile toolkit to create buildings and environments that foster a sense of balance and well-being for their inhabitants, from optimizing spatial layouts to enhancing structural stability and efficiency. The interpretation and application, however, can be subjective. While some architects may choose to incorporate these principles explicitly into their designs, others may prefer to draw inspiration from a broader range of sources, including cultural influences, historical contexts, and personal creativity.
The advent of computational design and AI tools is revolutionizing the architectural process, allowing architects to explore complex geometries and intricate forms with unprecedented precision and efficiency. While these tools can certainly facilitate the integration of mathematical ratios into architectural design, they also offer architects a greater degree of freedom and flexibility to experiment with diverse design approaches. ‘Ever wondered why we don’t use sacred geometry in architecture, despite nature following its principles? How can we achieve that oneness with nature?’ Manas Bhatia questions. While the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence can undoubtedly enhance the aesthetic appeal of a structure, architects must also consider factors such as building codes, client preferences, budget constraints, and technological advancements. In many cases, these practical considerations take precedence over purely mathematical principles.
