Gothic inspired Africa wildetecture style architecture

Gothic style architectural design style has an incredibly powerful visual life of its own. For me its the architectural style that best represents human existence, planet earth. The intensity of lace , the almost other worldly aire of the style is for me, fascinating.
To use the Gothic architectural style as a design point of departure for a wildetecture type building, has been an exercise Ive been meaning to do for awhile. Using insectiture elements in the flying buttresses and an Africa raptor design roof rafter system. Adding arachniture lace and leaf visual shape to the columns and the conceptual space.
This stands in direct contrast to the modern architectural style with its militant, "accountant like" losing of all things fussy and visual. Less is more when we all know more is more. Sculptural driven architectural built environment structures.

Mantis quad chair - Wildetecture style

The beauty of the mantis QJD chair design is that it can be added to - The drama increases with adding additional pods. Africa inspired fauvistic design - wildetecture style.

Quadrupedalism is a form of land animal locomotion using four limbs or legs. An animal or machine that usually moves in a quadrupedal manner is known as a quadruped, meaning "four feet" (from the Latin quad for "four" and ped for "foot"). The majority of quadrupeds are vertebrate animals, including mammals such as cattle, dogs and cats, and reptiles, like lizards.
Birds, humans, insects, crustaceans, and snakes are not quadrupeds. However, there are some exceptions. For example, among the insects, the praying mantis is a quadruped. A few birds may use quadrupedal movement in some circumstances, for example the shoebill will sometimes use its wings to right itself after lunging at prey. So its a unique element against the norm. I like that dynamic.
