About Discussions Projects38 Journals83 Publications4

Biophilic architecture draws on the human tendency to seek connection with nature, translating it into buildings through daylight, vegetation, natural materials, water, and forms modeled on organic growth. Designers working in this area treat such qualities as measurable contributors to wellbeing, productivity and ecological performance rather than decoration.

Members here explore this territory across scales, from coral restoration facilities and urban networks inspired by leaf venation to offices, residential towers and small timber houses. Work also examines how biophilic principles intersect with cultural traditions such as feng shui and regional landscape ideas.

Nomad House

This proposal also serves as a critique to the current working environments. It is a hybrid housing and working model that allows renewal and flexibility to take place not only at the macro scale but also at the micro and meso scale. This model discusses how the technology, people and nature will interact in the future.

Reef Rejuvenation: A Coral Research Facility for Saint Martin's Island

Reef Rejuvenation transforms architecture into ecological infrastructure for Saint Martin's Island, Bangladesh.
