Idea Map and Visual Abstract Final

In this idea map I wanted to explore the bridge between two topics that I have great interest in. I created a common path through words of subtopics and details that pertain to each topic. The words close to each topic can be translated between natural ideas and their man-made counterpart.The visual abstract takes images related to the two topics, and combines them into ideas of how they might integrate into an architectural idea.
