Green Daily Sustainability Series: SHELTER, Part 5
The Mexican poet Homero Aridjis said that "without nature there is no poetry," and that couldn't be more true for the subject of our next profile.
In this final installment of the "Shelter" segment of the Green Daily Sustainability Series, we meet Dr. Eugene Tsui, a non-traditional architect whose design inspiration comes from nature and all the brilliant systems and methods found therein. Dr. Tsui shows us city designs inspired by termites, and gives us a tour of his parents' house, a futuristic-looking structure that has some calling it "The Fish House."

For more information on how nature is inspiring engineering and design innovations, do some research on "Biomimicry." This is the science of taking a model from nature and translating it into the human world. Also check out the TED conference video talk by Janine Benyus, expert biomimeticist.
