Bio-architecture demonstrates the growing influence of nature in buildings through the predominance of organic, nature-inspired patterns and shapes. Ruth spoke about Bio-Architecture for the museum in August of this year, exploring the roots of organic design in the work of Louis Sullivan and Antoni Gaudi. Linking the ideas of a multitude of exciting contemporary architects and artists, Ruth Connell discusses James Turrell, Peter Zumthor, Jean Nouvel, Thom Mayne, Santiago Calatrava and many others in this podcast.
