Lamarckian Evolution Theory

Lamarck thinks that; it is not the organs which have given rise to its inhabits and peculiar properties, but, on the contrary, it is its inhabits and the manner of life and the conditions in which its ancestors lived that has in the course of time fashioned its bodily form, its organs and its qualities.

To recapitulate; the basic principle of Lamarck’s theory: that is the changes in the environment which are responsible for eliciting corresponding changes in the animal or plant. And another scientist C.C. Gillispie adds: “the environment is a shifting set of circumstances and opportunities to which the organism responds creatively,… as an expression of its whole nature as a living thing.”

Even though Lamarck’s theory of evolution neither required nor gave any explanation of the fact of design or the progress in nature, it can be implied in architecture. Therefore I see my structure as an organism which evolves itself depending on environmental changes as the influence of light or the atmospherically differences but all though the evolution happens ‘endosomatic’ or within the body depending on the new needs of the user.
