My favorite furniture brand, brocade home, creates beautiful carved pattens into their pieces that I wanted to emulate in my architectural design.
I was also inspired by the GEOtube sculptural tower in Dubai created by Faulter's Studio. It is made organically, and is grown rather than constructed. The world's highest salinity is found in the Persian Gulf, so the local salt water is supplied to GEOtube via a new 4.62 km buried pipeline and misted onto the tower's exposed mesh. As the water evaporates and salt deposits aggregate over time, the tower's appearance transforms from a transparent skin to a highly visible white solid plane. The result is a specialized habitat for wildlife that thrives is this environment, and an accessible surface for the harvesting of crystal salt.
