or New Animal architecture
Late-C20 and early-C21 architecture characterized by wavy and flowing lines, loose, amorphous shapes, and, sometimes, with exteriors resembling carapaces. Examples might include Future Systems's Selfridge's Building in Birmingham (2001–3), Cook & Fournier's Kunsthaus, Graz, Austria (2000–3), and certain works by Calatrava and Gehry. Such structures are essentially inimical to established urban fabric, and would be anathema to protagonists of New Urbanism. See biomorph.

[De]
Based on the appearance or characteristics of an animal. In art this is usually some kind of depiction or three-dimensional representation, perhaps in stylized form, of the whole or part of one or more animals. The term can also apply to the attribution of animal form or nature to something else, for example a deity or supernatural being.
