I chose to record the part1 part of my Biomimicry Project, because during the course of my investigation I tried areas that were not relevant to my profession, including architecture and interior design. I think that when I touch the fields, I am not familiar with, the freshness and inspiration can be designed from different angles. In the Biomimicry Project I think there is a connection between the conch and the rotating escalator, such as the spiral pattern and stability.

Because the shape of the conch is very similar to the spiral staircases, I did a research about 10 BEST SPIRAL STAIRCASES IN LONDON.

1. THE WELLCOME COLLECTION

There’re many reasons to visit The Wellcome Collection in Euston. The free, fascinating exhibitions, lovely cafe and beautiful interiors all making it worth a trip. But if you’re still not convinced, at least go for this staircase.

There’re not many furniture shops that can fill you with wonder. But Heal’s on Tottenham Court Road has a trick up its sleeve.

3. FORTNUM & MASON’S STAIRS

Founded in 1707, this staircase was a centerpiece of the iconic London shop’s refurb to celebrate its 300th anniversary. Designed by architects Jestico and Whiles, it wasn’t universally liked when first unveiled. The Guardian suggested it “looks as if it has been stripped from a Las Vegas shopping mall, or some new Middle Eastern airport.”

4. THE TULIP STAIRS

One of the highlights of Queen’s House in Greenwich is this staircase. Designed by Inigo Jones in 1635 it features a blue tulip pattern along the railings, inspired by ‘Tulip-mania’ in the 17th century, when we had imported a Dutch King (William III) and the color flowers and bulbs could fetch £1,000s.

5. CITY HALL

A more contemporary addition to the best spiral staircase list, City Hall’s whirl is no less impressive.

6. THE DEAN’S STAIR

The first of Sir Christopher Wren’s staircases to make the list, the Dean’s Stair in St Paul’s is one of the most impressive sights in the Cathedral.

7. BARRY’S PARLIAMENT STAIR

One of the lesser-known spiral staircases, this one is hidden inside a truly iconic building, Victoria Tower in the Houses of Parliament.
Designed by Sir Charles Barry, if you looked down, you’re staring straight into the ‘well’ onto the floor below. Today it comes in handy because it tells you exactly when HM Queen has entered parliament and that you should be raising the Royal Standard.

8. THE MONUMENT

Standing as the ‘world’s tallest free-standing stone column’ (catchy). The Monument commemorates The Great Fire of London in 1666.

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, those cunning chaps also built it for another purpose too. No, not just for epic Instagram shots, but as a pop-up laboratory for The Royal Society’s scientific experiments. An ideal shape for a telescope, Wren was thwarted by the location, the ceaseless footfall near London Bridge shaking his instruments and causing him to abandon the plan.

9. THE COURTAULD GALLERY STAIRS

10. THE LUTYENS’ STAIR

Part of the former Midland’s Bank HQ, 27 Poultry is now occupied by The Ned Hotel and almost every part of it is photogenic.

Edwin Lutyens (whose nickname ‘Ned’ gives the hotel its name) was a fan of spiral staircases and designed this 15-floor wonder for the original banker inhabitants in the 1920s.

Recently, I visited the exhibition of London fashion photographer Tim Walker at the V&A Art Gallery in London. The theme of this Tim Walker exhibition is: Wonderful Things, which was inspired by Tim Walker’s dreams and took a year to plan and arrange the exhibition. The classic giant doll and the dark mermaid are among his many masterpieces.

“The mermaid in the aquarium” is the work of my favorite Tim Walker. The man and the mermaid who are imprisoned in the aquarium love each other, and the weird and magical but logical. The layout of the whole exhibition consists of five or six exhibition areas. The theme of each exhibition area is different. The layout of the exhibition hall is also divided according to the theme. Each series of series of works will have a description of the photographer’s own text, and the scene will also be displayed. At the time, the props for shooting, and some of the exhibition areas also showed the works of his affected artists. The entire exhibition fully reflects Tim Walker’s life experience and trajectory, marking an alternative grotesque aesthetic style.

Tim Walker, a fashion photographer, pays more attention not to the clothing itself, but to the great spiritual power of the characters and the set. When you walk into reality from reality and touch the scenes that appear in distant Western magazines, you will find that his work is not an elusive question mark to the viewer, but a fairy tale-like fun and thinking.

This weekend I went to visit the exhibition of Olafur Eliasson in Tate modern. Olafur Eliasson is an Icelandic installation artist who specializes in exposing his artistic ideas by creating immersive devices that give the audience a wonderful experience. The theme of this exhibition is in real life. The Tate modern official website profile says, “In the eliasson installation, you will feel yourself, the people around you and the feelings of being in the world.”

The entire exhibition has a lot of interactive art, such as “your uncertainty shadow (colour)”. A five-color projection lamp will cast your shadow on the wall, and the shadow will change with your movements and your distance from the lights. One of the works that surprised me was “your blind passenger”. The whole installation art is a misty corridor. The fog is white at first, and then gradually changes to a thick orange. The visibility of the entire corridor is very low, only a small part of the front, so the initial feeling is “uncomfortable”, like a blind person, can only slowly explore the progress. Eliasson explained the art of this installation is Such “feeling is another way of seeing”, in this space, the feeling is indeed another form of seeing, exploring the corridor with your feet, touching the wall with your hands, these feelings form part of the “seeing”.
