In the future, human will generate the energy simply just by photosynthesis. Combine with the shadows that the structure will create, people moving in the structure will get different layers of shadows, and the membrane will adjust the sunlight level to control the amount of energy it’s giving.
Plants are the only photosynthetic organisms to have leaves (and not all plants have leaves). A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells.
The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf.
Based on our group philosophy, the future world is going to return to nature. Nature is a great designer. As human beings who also live on the earth, what we need to do is make the world much more beautifully and environmentally as nature does. In that case, we are here to design everything surrounding us as beauty.
Plant is an amazing architecture that designed by nature that bring us a sense of peace and enjoyable for our life. Communication and information transportation also will be focused on the insects that play an important role in protecting and pollinating the plants.
I have done some research on bee, ant, maybe butterfly later on.
“Earth has been called the green planet, a world clothed in a mantle of vegetation that sustains all other forms of life on this tiny spot in the universe. From simple beginnings, plants evolved first among Earth’s livings and thereby established a fundamental principle of nature: Plants, in one form or another, can exist forever without animals, but animals cannot exist without plants.⋯⋯
Plants stimulate the senses, bring us a sense of peace and tranquillity, and direct our thoughts to contemplating the mysteries of life.⋯⋯”

Protection by ants:
“⋯⋯Frequently, such plants provide both shelter and food for their protectors. The resident ants live inside hollow stems, cup-shaped leaves, or large, hollow thorns⋯⋯. Some species produce a nutrition liquid, from specialized glands, on which the ants feed. Any unusual disturbance of these plants causes the ferocious residents to swarm out of their nests, ready to attack, giving other insects little chance of encroachment on the ants’ territory.
⋯⋯A mutually beneficial relationship between two different species of organisms is referred to as a symbiosis (Greek: sym, “together”; bios, “life”). There are countless plant-animal symbioses, including the important dependency that many flowering plants have upon insects, birds, and bats for the distribution of their pollen. But none are as unusual as the association between plants and protective ants.⋯⋯”

We have an idea, to create beautiful things that make life better and save the world. Everything we do is designed for pleasure, function and the environment. Everything will return to nature which has designed the things surrounding us as beauty. We pick up plant as our design inspiration. In that case, the cell tower we design for the future will be a plant. Bee will be the most important transportation tool for transferring pollen which contains nano information indicated from departured plant.
Insects involuntarily transporting pollen from flower to flower play an important role in many plants' reproductive cycles.
Pollination is a new way of communication
The transfer of pollen grains to the female reproductive structure is called pollination. This transfer can be mediated by the wind, in which case the plant is described as anemophilous (literally wind-loving). Anemophilous plants typically produce great quantities of very lightweight pollen grains, sometimes with air-sacs. Non-flowering seed plants (e.g. pine trees) are characteristically anemophilous. Anemophilous flowering plants generally have inconspicuous flowers. Entomophilous (literally insect-loving) plants produce pollen that is relatively heavy, sticky and protein-rich, for dispersal by insect pollinators attracted to their flowers. Many insects and some mitesare specialized to feed on pollen, and are called palynivores.
In non-flowering seed plants, pollen germinates in the pollen chamber, located beneath and inside the micropyle. A pollen tube is produced, which grows into the nucellus to provide nutrients for the developing sperm cells. Sperm cells ofPinophyta and Gnetophyta are without flagella, and are carried by the pollen tube, while those of Cycadophyta andGinkgophyta have many flagella.
When placed on the stigma of a flowering plant, under favorable circumstances, a pollen grain puts forth a pollen tube which grows down the tissue of the style to the ovary, and makes its way along the placenta, guided by projections or hairs, to the micropyle of an ovule. The nucleus of the tube cell has meanwhile passed into the tube, as does also the generative nucleus which divides (if it hasn't already) to form two sperm cells. The sperm cells are carried to their destination in the tip of the pollen-tube.
