In modern architecture stone is rarely used and when it is, it is laid out in a single direction to create a repeating pattern. This can be seen on the sides of houses and on pathways. This article was interesting to me because it took an element of nature that is typically thought of stagnant, and arranged it in a way to feel alive and flowing. Modern architecture often features only vertical and horizontal lines and intersections. To incorporate spirals and organic geometry is such a fascinating concept that is not only a work of art, but a functional piece of architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take-Aways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Man-made architecture and construction does not need to be stagnant- it should venture to  break the confines of horizontal and vertical lines to mimic nature (biomimicry)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria, British Columbia-based artist duo Andreas Kunert and Naomi Zettl create gorgeous, decorative wall installations out of stone.
