To better understand the porous boundaries between living and non-living systems we look to nature as a model network of interactive systems that produce no waste; observe that animals and plants have evolved a large variety of reliable and relatively simple mechanisms to adapt to environmental fluctuation; understand that the inherent complexity of biological mechanisms is an emergent property based on simple rule sets. Specifically we develop responsive building technologies that operate in accordance with the biologic condition of homeostasis –– the ability for an organism to maintain dynamic equilibrium in response to fluctuating environmental conditions. |
