(1) It impresses us with its beauty and ( ) us with everything we need to survive. (2) It also provides some people ( ) the inspiration to create things in a new way. (3) The act of creating things based on nature is ( ) “biomimicry.” (4) This term ( ) the Greek words bios, ( ) “life,” and mimesis, meaning “imitation.” (5) Architects who use biomimicry look at nature as an incredibly ( ) engineer who has already come up with answers to some of the problems they now face. (6) They carefully study plants, animals, and other aspects of nature to learn ( ). (7) ( ) by the world-famous architect Antoni Gaudi, the church is one of the most prominent buildings in the world. (8) Some people love the Sagrada Familia and others hate it, but ( ) everyone is fascinated by its unique design. (9) Gaudi believed that all architects ( ) nature for inspiration. (10) He preferred the curves ( ) in natural objects ( ) the straight lines found in artificial ones. (11) Many parts of the church ( ) images and forms from nature. (12) For example, the church’s spires ( ) spheres that ( ) fruits. (13) There are also turtles carved into the stone bases of columns and spiral stairs that ( ) the shells of sea creatures. (14) Gaudi designed the columns inside the church to resemble trees and branches, so visitors who look up can feel ( ) they ( ) standing in a great forest. (15) ( ) by trees, Gaudi gave the columns a single base that splits off into branches near the top. (16) This allows them to support the roof better by ( ) its weight ( ). (17) However, the building is an excellent example of ( ). (18) Due to the hot climate of Harare, air conditioning systems can be very ( ) to install, run, and maintain. (19) Scientists believe that the mounds stay ( ) due to a constant flow of air. (20) Each mound has a network of holes ( ) to as chimneys. (21) It has a large central chimney and smaller outer chimneys that are ( ) the ground. (22) In the meantime, cooler air is pulled in through the smaller chimneys, keeping the termites’ home at a comfortable temperature ( ) the hot day. (23) Therefore, the temperature inside the mound does not increase greatly and ( ) relatively cool. (24) At night, when the outside temperature goes down, the heat is finally ( ). (25) The Eastgate Centre was constructed without a ( ) cooling
system. (26) The structure of the building also helps keep the building ( ). (27) Eventually, the air, along with heat generated by human activity during the day, ( ) upward through the building’s internal open spaces and is released through chimneys on the roof. (28) As a result, the building has ( ) cool temperatures ( ) fresh air. (29) More importantly, the Eastgate Centre uses ( ) less energy than other buildings, ( ) saves money and helps protect the environment from pollution. (30) ( ) the inspiration Pearce received from tiny termites, none of this would ( ) possible. (31) Using biomimicry in architecture is just one way ( ) humans are utilizing the lessons of nature to improve the way we do things.
