OVERVIEW
The studio set out to expand the definitions of Organic, Botanical and Natural Architecture and will explore the various disciplines, such as Landscape Architecture and Art, for inspiration. Also it will attempt to show new alignments of architects, environmentalists, scientists and landscape architects in order to show a new discipline with its own historical and contemporary examples.
We hope to explore utopian visions of the future involving the symbiotic relationships between architecture as a culture of the stable and permanent and nature as a culture of the flexible, contextual and vulnerable. Thus inspiring our thoughts about current relationships to nature, urban and suburban environments, and contribute to the most recent debates about socially fair, culturally stimulating, ecologically sustainable, and aesthetically up-to-date environmental design. We are seeking a new methodology of practice and design opportunities by exploring the potential of an intelligence already present in our natural environment. Taking advantage of the “constructive intelligence” of plants and bacterial growth, and at the same time exposes architects and practitioners to the bio-dynamics and of the natural growth process. By attempting to control the organizing mechanism of plants and other more self-forming elements, the of control becomes the inevitable mechanism for the survival and co-existence between men and nature. Through this conflict, a new form of architecture incorporating accidental process will evolve—a new architectural paradigm full of new hope and calculated risk.
