== Buildings ==
Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. Since living organisms, through natural selection, is a result of millions of years of evolution, by imitating natural living structures, biomimicry can help solve complex human problems such as creating effective human structures capable to optimize their performance and the use of natural resources.


Following are the green buildings that Nati has designed as architect of IDC:
One early example of the use of biomimicry is [[Leonardo da Vinci]] (1452–1519) who studied birds to enable human flight and create a “flying machine”. The Wright Brothers in 1903 also derived inspiration for their aircraft invention by studying pigeons in flight.

In architecture, biomimicry has evolved into a contemporary philosophy (see also [[Biomimetic architecture|Biomimietic Architecture]]).

https://milyonaryo.com.ph/romolo-natis-italpinas-posts-steady-profit-growth/
At the onset of the design process is a detailed analysis of the existing data of natural weather conditions of the site location, optimizing the use of natural elements to shape the design of the building—the same “thinking model” used by nature. In the same manner that a sailboat is designed to take advantage of the wind and waves, Nati espouses the idea that a building should adhere to the same concept, by optimizing the natural elements to create an efficient and high performing building design.

At 16 years old, Nati's interest in architecture grew when he flew to [[Hong Kong]], [[New York City]], [[Chicago]], [[Singapore]] and other major cities following his father who used to work in [[Alitalia|ALITALIA]] (Italian Airlines). His early travels developed his interest in modern architecture, instilling a great admiration for skyscrapers. Influenced by Leonardo da Vinci and biomimicry, he also continued developing his architectural style from his appreciation of the elegant and highly-effective function of nature. He also gained insights from [[Japanese architecture]], North-European architecture, [[Organic architecture]] and [[Rationalism (architecture)|Italian rationalism]].
