BIOWORLD

Bioworld: a call for action to design with nature against urgencies. If we condense the Earth’s life into 24 hours, we have been here for 3 seconds: we lost symbiosis with nature, we need to act, to dream Bioworld in the 4th second left. What can we learn from nature to do so? For our group, the action is Cool: nature is cooling down itself by ventilation, shading, evaporation and reflection. Water plays a very important role in its different stages. The speculative concept starts by increasing porosity to allow natural ventilation. A nature-inspired mesh can harvest water while providing shading. Crystallization takes over it, architecture and even the city, cooling down the temperature by evaporative cooling and reflection. Ideally, this cool cycle can again turns into vapour, enhancing clouds making, thus albedo, finally shifting the urban heat to cool islands.
