BIOMIMICRY | towards a hybrid architecture of engineering and biology

“Digital design today has progressed to a point where
we can achieve high spatial resolution and material complexity
in form generation and manufacturing. Coupled
with the emergence of research areas such as synthetic
biology, design procedures – both digital and physical –
are aiding the transition from biologically inspired to
biologically engineered design.”

BIOMIMICRY AND BIOMORPHING IN ARCHITECTURE

TIME-FIELD

Today, Biomimicry is guiding design research towards the establishment of a new living materiality,

putting nature driven performative architecture on the map.
