Ideas of mathematics and nature are being submerged in advanced technology, with Manas Bhatia's approach to the future's architecture transcending the constraints of the present. Skyscrapers that spiral up in the air are becoming something similar to the Nautilus shell. Applying golden ratio aesthetics to the Nautilus Bioarchitecture scheme articulates an unparalleled change to urban design principles, transforming man-made structures into sensual and organic reflections of nature.

The Influence of Geometric Principles
Ultimately, Bhatia's architectural ideology is founded on a profound devotion to geometric principles of history. The Golden Ratio illustrates this commitment. As 1.618 is the divine proportion, countless past architectural landmarks with magnificent structures such as the Parthenon and Giza Pyramids contribute to this history and awe-inspiring character. However, besides the arrangement of human creations, this rhythm also penetrates the natural statues, as they can be found in the Nautilus coil and the harmonious proportions of the human form.
The application of the mathematical theory by Bhatia goes beyond any decoration and is the blueprint for building resilient, adaptable, and nature-friendly structures in the projects. Comparing the current age that influences the scope of climate change and the pace of urbanization, bioarchitecture introduces the promising prospect for a sustainable world. Through incorporating nature-inspired design and talking about what is taking place, Bhatia explores possibilities to design cities that, in addition to the eye, capture the soul.

Computational Design and AI
The coalescence of math and architecture is virtually driven by computer‐aided design and artificial intellect. To create trial-and-error-free art of complex geometries and intricate forms, Bhatia uses AI technologies like Midjourney, LookX, and ChatGPT as exploration tools. Articles encompassing the usage of these instruments in creating architectural designs prove that the mathematical ratios' theories are integrated into architectural design and give birth to architects who can freely play with various aspects while respecting the principles of sacred geometry.
For him, it is much more like the talent of the artist who does not separate art from the world where it is created. He foresees the buildings of tomorrow becoming a living, breathing organism-one, malleable, resilient, and working closely with other components of an environment. The bio-architecture series of the Nautilus manifests this idea; greenhouses, terraces, and gardens are included in its vast architecture, creating these inviting "lungs" among the "sky scrapers" of the ocean. Nature has always fascinated us, and in recent years, the ability to use its perfect geometry and the Fibonacci sequence as an inspiration to artists and architects has become evident. As a result, these structures provide optimal spatial layouts and improved structural stability, giving us an idea of how form follows function in the future.

Balancing Aesthetics with Practicality
It is not only the mathematics and the technology that give rise to his quest for harmony but also other art forms. He accepts that cultural influences, historical contexts, and human creativity are the keys to achieving great architectural works. These fundamentals of the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence offer a great beginning. Still, the real work starts when the architect must face a number of practical matters, such as building code requirements or client preferences, to make his ideas fully implemented.
Taken as a full system, Manas Bhatia's Nautilus Bio-Architecture project symbolizes a great leap towards a more harmonious and sustainable built world. Speaking of the elegance and elusiveness of nature, the power of AI, and the nautilus shell, which is also the definition of the golden ratio and backbone of resilient frameworks, Bhatia leads us to a new series of city concepts, where skyscrapers organize themselves through the sky, mimicking the movements of these amazing shells.
