Michael Pearce with Arup Engineering, Eastgate Complex, Harare , Zimbabwe,

1996

“Biomimicry:” The application of principles observed in existing life forms to solve design problems. Here, termite mounds are seen to be oriented to capture as much wind

energy as possible, to ventilate the nest and achieve 'homeostasis' - an internal balance with little variation in

temperature, humidity and air quality.

Eastgate uses 35 percent less energy than the average consumption of sixother conventional buildings in Harare, and the client has saved $3.5 million on

a $36 million building due to the fact that no air-conditioning plant had to be imported. This is what makes Pearce say that his architecture is a “regionalized style that responds to the biosphere, to the ancient traditional stone architecture

of Great Zimbabwe, and to local human resources."
