Looking at our buildings
I often reflect...
That we've learnt a lot...yet nothing
from nature's architect !

We make rectangular boxes
with straight walls and beams
structurally...may be sound....
but un live able...it seems ...

Is not possible....
a tree like constuction ?
could be more pleasant
and perform a full function .....!

Can we not think of
buildings with hilly contour
...a solace to the eyes...
housing both rich and poor...

....excerpts from "design defect"
