Not Biomorphic Forms: No Animal or Plant Shapes

An abstract rather than figurative organic building. It does not imitate any recognizable living creature: not a seashell, not a flower petal, not a bird, not an enlarged bone. Its organic quality comes from the logic of growth—branching, stacking, conforming, continuity—rather than external imitation. Viewers will feel it is alive, but cannot say what it resembles. Avoid: making the massing into recognizable animal or plant shapes, directly imitating seashells and flower petals, incorporating figurative biological patterns, or requiring the form to be interpreted as something specific.

一棟抽象而非具象的有機建築。它不模仿任何看得出來的生物:不是貝殼、不是花瓣、不是鳥、不是骨骼的放大版。它的有機來自生長的邏輯——分枝、堆疊、順應、連續——而不是外形的模仿。看的人會覺得它像活的,但說不出像什麼。避免:把量體做成可辨認的動物與植物形狀、使用貝殼與花瓣的直接模仿、加入具象的生物紋樣、讓造型需要被解讀成某個東西。
