The term ‘biomimicry’ originates from the Greek words bios, meaning life and mimesis, meaning imitate. It refers to imitating natural strategies (not forms) to devise new sustainable solutions. Although buildings guard us against natural extremes, they have a lot to learn from the natural world. Oh, the irony!

In 2013, Lego released the Lego Architecture “Studio” which is a product that does not belong to any of the series mentioned above. The Studio set comprises 1,210 white and transparent Lego Bricks. These bricks come with a book of 272 pages which do not typically provide instructions and steps, but general tips, exercises, and design techniques instead. The tips and techniques are supplied by architects from world famous architectural firms like Sou Fujimoto Architects, SOM, MAD Architects, Safdie Architects, REX Architecture, and Tham & Videgård Arkitekter. The lack of Lego’s famous color palette from this product makes it arguably adult-oriented. Also, the wide range of forms and sizes of the blocks makes gives a room for creativity and innovation with minimal restrictions.

Mentioning the word ‘Home’ evokes a sense of comfort and modesty. For most of us, it’s not the size that matters as much as the soothe and security, we feel within this place called home. Well, for those who are listed as the richest people on Earth, there’s more to a ‘home’, than just modesty and utility. To these, who ace the lists of ‘Forbes’ Top Billionaires’ and ‘The Most Expensive House In The World’, home is a place where they can spend most of their fortune, afford unimaginable luxuries and flaunt their wealth. For example, If you take a quick tour inside Donald Trump’s house, You’ll find nearly everything in gold.

These billionaire homes are architectural expressions born out of extravagance and vanity. Their lavishness and exclusivity not only inspire commoners towards riches but also provide opportunities for experimentation, with some of the most expensive and uncommon technological innovations.

Hadid was born in the early 50s and lived her childhood during the brief golden years of modern-time Iraq.
