Courtesy of Kelly Hill Photography for Exploration Architecture. Growing architecture is an exciting idea. Unlike many superficial conceptual ideas of biomimicry which produced no more than form & aesthetics, harvesting architecture from biological production takes a leap in nature inspired designs. This approach has been pursued by reserchers and architects alike, namely Magnus Larsson‘s Green Wall Sahara in Africa and Rachel Armstrong‘s protocell for Venice’ bedrock. And recently, Michael Pawlyn of Exploration Architecture who was famously known for the Eden Project by Grimshaw is proposing that architecture could be grown from the depths of the ocean in near future. This seemingly farfetched idea is backed by Pawlyn’s investigations and researches to establish a convincing prototype of what may come ahead of us in construction and materials. […]

The recent video post that claims Buffalo to be the best designed city in America presents a beautifully planned metropolitan that has a high regard for natural landscapes and an understanding of how urban design affects the well-being of people within it. Approximately 5 decades after Buffalo was established, far across the Pacific Ocean, Melbourne was founded and emerged to what is known today as the most livable city in Australia. Both cities have several things in common, the given circumstance of being surrounded by water, the intervention of grid layout and for Buffalo, an overlay of radial intersections and the concept of city in the park. All these features give rise to creative architecture that was given the added […]
