What is shown in the pictures
A lotus flower
A termite mound

How much do you know about them
A lotus flower
It grows in most soils and in most environments, as long as they have mud or water, and as long as they can float;
It is a sacred(神圣的) flower for Buddhists(佛教徒);
It symbolizes purity, beauty, majesty(威严).
A termite mound
Termite mounds are primarily composed of termite saliva(唾液), feces(粪便) and clay.
Termites carefully construct mounds that are composed of a series of tunnels for air flow and also traveling when they are looking for food.
Algae
Algae are a kind of simple nonflowering plant.
Algae contain chlorophyll(叶绿素) but lack true stems(茎), roots, leaves.
Algae produce about half the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.
They can be harvested using technology to generate electricity.
Now let's look at some pictures of three buildings associated with them.
How could you associate them with architecture
How much do you know about these three buildings
ArtScience Museum
The Eastgate Centre
The Algae House
Now let's read the passage Nature in Architecture.

The shape of lotus flower
Termites built mounds covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out.
The algae are fed with liquid nutrients and carbon dioxide to encourage them to grow. In bright sunshine, they grow faster and provide shade.
Shaped to resemble a lotus flower, its roof collects rainwater and channels it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space.
It has a “skin” covered in holes. During the day, warm air is drawn into ...At night... comfortable temperature inside.
The surface is covered in panels that contain algae. The panels also capture heat and convert it into energy to power the building. It also can be used to produce fuel.
1. Singapore's ArtScience Museum was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits.
2. Harare's Eastgate Centre is a superb example of bioscience.
3. The Algae House in Hamburg is the second algae-powered building in the world.
4. The Algae House not only responds to its environment and uses less energy, but also reduces damage to the environment by generating
non-renewable energy.
True or false.
