Bridging Architecture and Biology: Biomimicry for Living Buildings | Negin Imani | TEDxPipitea

What might be possible if buildings imitated living organisms? Could buildings respond to their environments the way living things do, and what impact would this have on climate change? Dr Negin Imani explores this possibility through an innovative, bio-inspired design tool that bridges the gap between architecture and biology. Founder of Biomimicry New Zealand, Dr Negin Imani has dedicated her adult life to the exploration of sustainable building design, utilising principles taken from how living organisms react and respond to their environment, to develop a design tool that bridges the gap between architecture and biology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
