Why not look to nature when considering design? Design is everywhere and can generate from anywhere. Lisa Iwamoto and Craig Scott, are the architects that modeled on the idea that "like the sea creature, it coexists with its environment." this structure features a porous, layered skin through which rain water and grey water are captured, filtered, and stored for later use. The name of the structure is reflected in the process as the water flows through the titanium dioxide-coated cavities in the skin, it is exposed to UV light and gives off a soft blue, bioluminescent glow. Bah! Brilliant. It almost seems like cheating to look to such an easy outside source, but at the same time...it works for a reason!
