Description
- Investigates growth patterns and processes of nature in order to utilize these for the vision of self-growing houses
- Contributions from international experts such as Rachel Armstrong, Julian Vincent and Angelo Vermeulen
Built to Grow investigates patterns of growth and dynamics in nature with the aim of creating a new “living architecture” that can be applied to architectonic designs. It examines biological processes to identify basic principles of growth and translate them into exemplary architectonic ideas and visions. The project brings together experts from the fields of architecture, biology, art, mechatronics, and robotics.
