Building Like a Tree

Building Like a Tree

‘From my designer’s perspective, I ask: Why can’t I design a building like a tree?

A building that makes oxygen, fixes nitrogen, sequesters carbon, distils water, builds soil, accrues solar energy as fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colors with the seasons and self replicates.

This is using nature as a model and a mentor, not as an inconvenience.

It’s a delightful prospect…’

(McDonough and Braungart, 1998)

In the future, the houses we alive in and the offices we assignment in will be advised to action like active organisms, accurately acclimatized to abode and able to draw all of their requirements for activity and baptize from the surrounding sun, wind and rain. The architectonics of the approaching will draw inspiration, not from the machines of the 20th century, but from the admirable flowers that abound in the mural that surrounds them.
