About Discussions Projects6 Journals26

Bio-bricks represent an emerging approach to architecture that combines traditional masonry with biological functionality and environmental responsiveness. This topic explores how brick can be engineered or deployed to support living systems, improve air quality, and create more sustainable building envelopes.

The community examines modular brick systems that enable flexible stacking and spatial organization, perforated brick strategies for natural ventilation and climate control, and integrated garden systems that work within brick structures. Projects range from office towers and residential stacks to single-family homes that use brick as both structural and ecological material.

Choosing arid climate and Following Biomimetic design, we came to across a plant that lives in the Namibia desert, Welwitschia which is extremely sustainable in Arid areas and lives about 1000 to 1500 years. The unusual form of this plant keeps the soil under the plant cool and moist. The thick leaves lay on the sand surface and prevent wind erosion aswell.

Meta(bio)lism

Meta(bio)lism proposes an energy & resource re-use strategy which people can adapt under the effects of extreme weather.
