The Future Envelope 17 ​​

Inspired by Nature

FE17 explores the role of nature and biological systems in contemporary building envelopes amid today’s ecological and climatic challenges.

 

In recent years, nature-inspired building envelopes have gained significant momentum. Concepts such as biophilia, biomimicry and biodiversity are increasingly shaping material choices, design approaches, and methods of manufacturing and operating façades. By integrating scientific insights, technological innovation, and design research, the event seeks to deepen our understanding of how façades can accommodate nature, learn from biological models, adapt to environmental hazards, and ultimately contribute to a sustainable human–planet ecosystem.
