"Building Evolution: Shapeshifting Structures Like Organisms?"

Biomedical engineers and architects are collaborating on a project to create a living building façade that adapts to its environment. By studying plants, fetal chick hearts, and adult brain cancers, they aim to develop sustainable building designs and improve climate-adaptable plants, heart defect prevention, and brain cancer treatment. The project reimagines the convergence of architecture and biology to understand how organisms create internal structures – and to inform a new approach to architecture.
