About the course
This course explores the synthesis of biological principles and structural engineering to create adaptive, self-sustaining urban environments. Students will investigate how natural systems—from mycelium networks to beehive thermoregulation—can be modeled to solve contemporary challenges in high-density urban planning and resource efficiency.
In this course you will be able to
Students will be able to design structural blueprints that integrate passive cooling and natural ventilation systems based on biological organisms.
Participants will master the ability to simulate urban stress-test scenarios and optimize material lifecycles within a circular economy framework.
Evaluate the structural properties of mycelium composites and self-healing materials for integration into regenerative architecture.
Model thermodynamic performance of building envelopes using bio-inspired heat dissipation and thermal mass strategies.
Design adaptive kinetic facades that utilize mechanical bionics to optimize energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
Implement circular resource flow models to achieve carbon-neutrality in high-density urban planning projects.
Utilize structural optimization algorithms derived from natural growth patterns to minimize material waste in construction.
Formulate urban-scale interventions to mitigate heat island effects through biomimetic site analysis and biodiversity integration.
Prerequisite
Learners should have a background in structural mechanics or environmental science to effectively apply biological concepts to large-scale engineering.
Proficiency in 3D modeling and parametric design software (e.g., Rhino/Grasshopper) for complex geometry generation.
Understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer principles as applied to the built environment.
Familiarity with the principles of ecology and evolutionary biology relevant to morphological adaptations.
Knowledge of sustainable material science and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) standards.
Basic competency in simulation tools for urban microclimate and energy performance analysis.
