The architects are always seeking some kind of method through which architectures and Nature can be connected organically.If we believe that Nature is a entirety logic and natural,every parts take effect to serve it,then we would follow examples of Nature to make a ideal way to combine architectures and Nature organically.Such is the essence of natural form architecture creation.Natural form is the most important information medium of Nature which consists of the rules of material composition and the laws of creature evolution.In the meanwhile,it is the product of surroundings.Formation of natural form has a close relation with external surroundings.All this have provided a ideal model for architecture creation.Undoubtedly,combining natural form with architecture will make it possible to create new form architectures and infuse vitality to architecture development.Although when exposed to complex and various natural forms,we have great difficulty in combining them with architectures.This article mainly aims to provide systematical information and comparably complete theory for natural form architecture creation.Similarity between natural form and architecture form lays foundation for us to imitate Nature.Tracing back to history,we can find numerous architectures that combine architecture with natural form such as Sphinx in Egypt,Ionic whirl pool in Greece,natural curve line from Baroque,and the curve of the Great Wall.Intelligence of forefathers has displayed us the grace of natural form architecture.When architecture developed into modernism period,technical advance and conceptional development infused new vitality to natural form architecture,plastic form works of a variety of architects such as Hugo Alvar Herik Aalto,Eero Saarinen,Hans Scharoun and etc. represented modern technology's new interpretation to natural form architecture.To summarise former theory on combination between architecture and Nature,it seems that the conception of natural form architecture creation is revealing itself gradually, which represents design physiology of symbiosis,ambiguity,open and complex,bases on natural form research,transfers a kind of design idea of combing Nature and return to Nature.When it comes to particular design strategy,we can summarise a set of complete design method by organising entironment,form,space,structure,material and function.On this occasion,numerous examples of natural form architecture will provide the most persuasive proof for this...
