Living Architecture: Designing Symbiotic Habitats with Robots and Local Materials
Description

This project emerges from the need to reassess the growing disconnect between human habitats and the natural world. The objective is to reverse this trend through an innovative approach that combines the promotion of biomes, bio-construction, and collaborative robotics for the construction of regenerative and resilient buildings. The methodology proposes the development of software capable of generating adaptive architectural models, integrating them into their natural context, maximizing energy efficiency, and promoting biodiversity.
