Theme

Taking advantage of modern computational and communication technology, how can architecture, biomimetics, technology, and design create systems that . . .

1. Enable people to learn by engaging them in their environment and in their place in the world?
2. Give people the control to sustainably design, assemble, build and modify their environment?
3. Let people solve problems and share solutions, even Local, fine grain problems and solutions that may be uninteresting or not well understood from the outside-Global?—

We are finding it useful to measure our designs and innovations against a test set forth in Benyus’ Biomimicry, “Is there a precedent for this in nature?” If so the answers to the following questions will be yes:

Does it run on sunlight?
Does it use only the energy it needs?
Does it fit form to function?
Does it recycle everything?
Does it reward cooperation?
Does it bank on diversity?
Does it utilize local expertise?
Does it curb excess from within?
Does it tap the power of limits?
Is it Beautiful?

“Imagine, instead of today’s solid bricks and walls, smart bricks and smart walls incorporating capillary-like structures…”
