The truly great designers have arrived at their conclusions through the observation of nature (plate 3A-3C). The anvil of nature always has remained the most resourceful subject to designers. The dynamics of the river water, rolling stone from the mountain, structure of a beehive, construction of coconut and egg, etc. have inspired human beings to understand the design paradigms and create new design. In nature, forms of plants and animals have similar problems to adjust. They do the necessary change or adjustments by themselves. However, such change can happen in a slow design process. Natural process is based on a complex harmonious relationship. The relationship between various living and non-living beings build the delicate but stable structure is the resource of design process.
