LIFE MATERIALS: GROWING

The biggest drawback of physical materials is that materials have to go through space to talk to people. Can we break through the limitations of physical materials and replace physical materials with life materials with their own emotional and growth properties, to realize the direct dialogue between people and materials?

We very positively value the ideas of this project and think about architecture over time and its relationship with nature. However, we recommend that you further develop the architectural platforms that you propose to make them comfortable and thus solve the needs of the building. We encourage you to think of vegetation as something more uncontrollable and unpredictable. It is treated as pieces of a wall or construction elements and the growth of the natural tree will be incompatible with this.
