S4. Bioinspired Architecture

Throughout its history, biology has provided a constant and continued source of inspiration for architectural projects. This has been manifested in various ways, including through the figurative, symbolic, performative, or functional aspects of biology, expressed through strategies of imitation and/or integration. This tradition is seeing a rapid enrichment and applied expansion as the biological world becomes reframed as a crucial model and resource for addressing global societal challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and resource scarcity.
In this Session, we seek to probe these advances through topics including, but not limited to, bio-receptive architectures, biomimetic materials, engineered living materials, and living architectures. Presentations will showcase a plurality of modes for translating, coupling, or inviting biological processes in relation to architectural materials, spaces, and experience, offering novel perspectives and opening new design opportunities that promise to shape and enrich architectural functionalities and objectives into novel realms.
