We research and study the different aspects of sustainable construction. Learned about the capture and retention of moisture, maximizing surface area for growth, and self-shading to accelerate the bio-colonization of photosynthetic consortiums on building surfaces. With this knowledge, we began to explore form-finding techniques that could incorporate these essential elements into her project. Experimented with various designs, using biomimicry to create moisture transport systems and maximize surface area while maintaining structural integrity. We also created self-shading systems that would block direct sunlight and promote the growth of photosynthetic organisms on building surfaces.
The prototype structure will be designed to integrate principles, such as the use of photosynthetic consortiums on building surfaces to generate energy and the use of biomimicry to create efficient systems for moisture capture and retention.
The project aims to contribute to the development of sustainable construction methods that reduce the environmental impact of buildings and improve human well-being.
