Concept Development

So i kind of went through this exercise of extracting some kind of form from the leaf image i saw and i took some screen shots of the process i went through. i think its kind of intriguing, there's still some research to be done in the area and I'm going to get some sources in the area of water lilies soon but i had to keep busy and i learned some things about the structural organization by going through this pretty formal gesture.

I tried to execute the same idea i mentioned earlier about how the concept can be about vertical members meeting up to hold an all encompassing skin that provides the shelter and can breathe for the building, there's also much talk of shade and ventilation, very similar to the leave's role in the natural environment.

Heres some progression shots and a quick rendering:
