This research center supplies a number of sanctuary spaces, w hich have a proper micro-ecosystem for butterflies to live. The data of the environment and conditions of butterflies are constantly monitored by the researchers. The laboratories of this center are dedicated to study the material of butterfly scales and cocoons, and to imitate the pow erful sensors of the butterflies and moths. The researchers and engineers are aiming to use the results of studies and experiments to improve the environment and to provide tools of interactive architecture to fit the ever changing climate and aesthetic requirements
