Natural System
Design and architecture projects that integrate natural systems, ecological processes, and living organisms into built environments.
Natural systems in design refer to the incorporation of ecological principles, biological processes, and environmental cycles into architectural and spatial interventions. This approach treats nature not as decoration but as a functional and structural component of the built environment.
The community explores vertical farming and food production systems, ecological retreats that work with water and landscape, timber construction methods, habitat design, and competitions focused on sustainable material use and environmental regeneration. Projects range from urban agricultural infrastructure to waterfront developments that restore natural processes.
