Symbiotic Architecture
Symbiotic Architecture is a design approach where buildings and living organisms work together in a way that helps both thrive. In Biological Design, this means using things like algae, moss, or bacteria as part of the building itself, such as walls that clean the air or roofs that grow food. Designers can use living materials to help control temperature, improve air quality, and even repair small damage to the building. This method allows buildings to become active parts of their environment, helping nature and people at the same time.
