A BIOMIMETICS-BASED PARK LIBRARY IN HYDE PARK - 3rd Year Design Studio

Authors: Nathália Barros e Luama Amorim / Instructors: Ana Rolim & Aristóteles Cantalice II

Catholic University of Pernambuco (UNICAP)

The task was to conceive a park library in Hyde Park, London, adjacent to the Serpentine Lake, for an international competition. Employing biomimetics and tectonics, our approach melded site analysis with architectural principles.

Drawing from stereotomics and framework concepts, students crafted sketches, models, and designs based on site features. The showcased project, the "Hybrid Library," emerged from a mesh inspired by branching patterns, akin to blood veins and park pathways.

This mesh dictated a triangular pattern, aiming to seamlessly integrate the building among the park's foliage, blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
