The sail-like plate structures are surrounded by densely packed configured blood vessels, warmed by sun rays, regulate the body temperature.

Subsurface solar air tubes are positioned on the roof which covers much of the upper level of the house, aiding passive solar heating. Over the entrance north , there is a laminar projection that also contains subsurface solar air tubes that are heated throughout the day and the stored heat is radiated back in the interiors at night. The building is dynamic and responds to the changing environment to maintain interior conditions.

Thus, the Reyes House has efficient resistance to earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes. In time, this nature-base approach to design began to incorporate functional analogies to quantum physics and fractal theory. The introduction of virtual reality software in the s further expanded the ability to simulate and observe these evolutionary architectural models.

What are the specific benefits of the Tsui Nature-Based design approach? Environmental Benefits: Structural forms that are modeled after naturally occurring phenomenon inherently better resist earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and other natural disasters. A beneficial partnership is therefore formed between humanity and nature by adopting the unquestionably successful strategies that have evolved over eons.

The resulting solutions are not only superior in function but are also more harmonious with nature. Economic Benefits: A natural consequence of Dr. Tsui's long-term, nature-based approach to his work is that a developer can easily employ local, accessible and environmentally friendly materials and local talent. He is the originator of the term, Evolutionary Architecture, which is an understanding of producing designs based upon a rigorous scientific study of natural organisms, structures and processes.

His work vastly expands and extends beyond the paradigm of "Ecological design". His seminal work sweeps us into the 21st century and shows us the ineffable and fantastic intelligence of nature and the compelling possibilities of an architecture that aligns itself with nature's genius.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, of Chinese parents and fluent in the Mandarin Chinese and English languages, Eugene Tsui holds four professional degrees in architecture and city and regional planning having attended the University of Oregon, Columbia University Graduate School of Design and the University of California, Berkeley where he received an Interdisciplinary Doctorate in Architecture and Education.

He has won numerous scholarships and professional research grants including those from the Graham Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts Canada. He was an intern architect at the age of nineteen and at twenty was the youngest member of the Organizing Committee of the Montreal Summer Olympics design team as the assistant to the Senior Coordinator.
