Breathing Spaces

                                                         

 As Nature acts! we would like to imitate that actions in our Design, believing that would be
                                                        "The Ideal Solution"

Taking insights from the natural systems

Nature runs on Sunlight
Nature uses only the Energy it needs
Nature fits Form to Function
Nature Recycles every thing
Nature rewards Cooperation
Nature curbs Excesses from within
Nature banks on Diversity
Nature demands local Expertise.............by: Janine Benyus, 1997








As I'm continually looking for new and innovative ways to create beautiful, liveable spaces that are environmentally responsible and resilient. Increasingly, those on the leading edge are looking to Nature as a source of inspiration. I came to an idea,. after reading an article about the octopus. as a diver minded individual, and all what belongs to the Sea inspires me.What was attractive to me about the octopus, is that it has basically nine 'brains'.
 The octopus's nervous system is a fascinating one. Some two thirds of its neurons reside not in its central brain but out in its flexible, stretchable arms. This, researchers suspect, lightens the cognitive coordination demands and allows octopuses to let their arms do some of the "thinking"—or at least the coordination, problem-solving and reaction—on their own. And these arms can continue reacting to stimuli even after they are no longer connected to the main brain; in fact, they remain responsive even after the octopus has been euthanized and the arms severed.








An Inspiration! 


````````The Octopod```````````````````````````````````````````````````````

A space that taking inspiration of  Morphology of the Octopus, with its special characteristic features
of having 9 brains! one central brain in center,  and a brain in each of his eight tentacles!
So each brain is capable of directing and controlling its arm individually,  and all are manageable by the central big brain.



An organisation for a collaborating 8 sections, parties, departments (or maybe more!) as number 8 is just an example soulotion presented by 'Nature!'. This one activates  system of "Federalism". Concept. that each department is controlling itself, working itself out,  in the meantime they are all under that central unit that control and protect all of these departments when needed.
