Nature has countlessforms that can be a
source of inspiration,
innovation and ideas.I believe Communication
Design practice can
benefit from theapplication of
natural forms.

Gaia is an exhibition design inspired by
nature and a compilation of open source
forms for designers and anyone who
has an appreciation for science.
This project was an opportunity forme to break free from the bookshelf,
and expand my practice into
exhibition and experience design.

Acorn Barnacles are mostly found in cold salt water.
They like to attach to hard surfaces. They eat plankton
by sucking in the water around them, while closing
their teeth and opening their mouth. Then they lick
all the plankton that got stuck in their teeth.
The Acorn Barnacle is usually 3-4 inches across.
The shell is made of six big pieces of shells
connected by smaller pieces of shells.

Nautilus means “the sailor” in Greek. Nautilus pompilius is
the best known species of nautilus. Inside of the shell displays
a nearly perfect equiangular spiral. The shell also exhibits counter-shading,
being light on the bottom, and dark on top. This is to help avoid predators, as when
seen from above, it blends in with the darkness of the sea, and when seen from below,it blends in with the light coming from above. Having survived relatively unchanged
for millions of years, nautiluses represent the only living members of the subclass
Nautiloidea, and are often considered “living fossils.”

note: if you prefer the structure
to fold, instead of gluing you can
attach the parts to one another
with Chicago screws.
In order to produce the
spiral curl, remember to glue
each piece to the previous one
with an approximate 25˚ angle.

Sarcophyton Elegans, also known as the Yellow Leather,
is similar to a toadstool leather coral in shape and
pulpy structure, but definitely has a unique look.
Most soft corals have this unique curved edges calledhyperbolic surfaces—which is one way organisms grow
and increase contact with the environment. If you take
any point on a hyperbolic plane and move away from it,
the space around it expands exponentially.

Diatoms are a major group of eukaryotic algae, and are one
of the most common types of phytoplankton. Most diatoms
are unicellular, although they can exist as colonies in the shape
of filaments or ribbons, fans, zigzags, or stellate colonies. Fossil
evidence suggests that they originated during, or before, theearly Jurassic Period. Diatom communities are a popular tool
for monitoring environmental conditions and they are
commonly used in studies of water quality.

Braarudosphaera Bigelowii is an extant species of
unknown affinities which produces 12 pentagonal
plates. These include forms with heavily ornamented
pentaliths and pentaliths with concave sides. They some-
times occur in enormous abundance in sediments suggestingthat Braarudosphaera can form massive blooms. At present day,
Braarudosphaera occurs sporadically in shelf environments,
usually under conditions of lowered salinity.

shaped folds are
optional.
This 12 sided shape is

Crepidotus is a genus of fungi in the family Inocybaceae.
They all have small, convex to fan-shaped sessile caps
and grow on wood.
Early descriptions of the genus contained between
6 and 46 species, depending on the author. Currently,approximately 150 species are widely accepted,
although many more have been described.

Sarcoscypha coccinea, commonly known as the Scarlet Elf Cup,
is a species of fungus in the Sarcoscyphaceae family.
First described in 1774, the saprobic fungus grows on decaying
branches in damp areas and its fruit bodies are usually found
during cooler months like winter and early spring. The brilliantred interior of the cups contrast with the lighter-colored exterior.
The fungus has a widespread distribution, and is found in Africa,
Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North America.

Pollen is a powder containing the microgametophytes of
seed plants, which produce the sperm cells. Pollen grains
have a hard coat that protects the cells during the process
of their movement.
When pollen lands on a compatible pistil of flowering plants,it germinates and transfers the sperm to the receptive ovary.
The individual pollen grains are small enough to require
magnification to see detail.

Rumia Crithmifolia is a fruitlet of a species which
is a member of an aromatic plants family with hollow
stems, commonly known as the Apiaceae. Rumia is a peculiar monotypic
genus that grows in dry steppe habitats of Crimea—an autonomous
republic of Ukraine located on the northern coast of the Black Sea.
The spongy, sinuous ridges of the fruit wall, which create a brain-like
pattern, lower the specific gravity of the fruitlets, facilitating wind
dispersal and keeping the seeds afloat on water.

start gluing pieces together, only
2 slices at a time back to back.
