Man-made structures will eventually be worn and weathered, losing their original form and texture after decades and centuries. Trees and plants, on the other hand, are born in nature and grow over years. Would combining the additive nature of plants with spatial designs result in structures that develop and renew themselves over years, rather than breaking and collapsing?While architects and designers have come under fire for greenwashing projects by simply decorating them with flora (whether in rendering or reality), this method push against these criticisms by using plants as building materials for both the façade and the main structure. They point to a fledgling architectural movement to design buildings that grow, merging the built and natural environments and breaking the boundary between the two. We explore deeper into the ideas and potential of such sustainable building in this insightful blog article by Midas India, Architecture colleges in Chennai is illustrating the future of urban design.
