As climate and society change, customizing buildings towards specific usage patterns and local weather conditions that might be obsolete within a few years, does not seem to be the smartest approach to design. Last summer term, we wanted to re-think the architectural environment towards a symbiotic habitat. A habitat relies on the physical, chemical and social interaction of different elements. The role of energy is not seen as a question of supply, but as a parameter that is transformed during an ongoing interaction.
Full-scale spatial prototypes as elements of such a habitat have been developed focussing on the interfaces between climate, men and other organisms.
