Javier Senosiain (born 1948), a Mexican architect who is the key exponent and also one of the first explorer of so-called organic architecture. His works have the same basic nature inspirations to other bioarchitecture architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, Paolo Soleri, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Buckminster Fuller, Antoni Gaudi and Rudolph Steiner.

Currently working as a professor of architecture at UNAM, the National University of Mexico, Javier Senosiain’s architectural creations have attracted both comment and controversy. His own house for example, located at Vista del Valle, north of Mexico City sits on a hill overlooking to the city and designed in the shape of a shark.

The idea is to recline,” says Senosiain, “like an animal in a cave.”

Built in a ferro-concrete construction coated with polyurethane and UV-resistant elastomeric waterproofing. Inside it comprises a complex labyrinth of rooms and interconnecting carpeted tunnels. Javier Senosiain Aguilar’s house returns to all things natural.

And below are some of his other unique bioarchitectural buildings, masterpiece of green houses.
