Learning from Nature: Biomimetic architecture imagined and built

With the increased focus on rethinking humanity's coexistence with nature, architecture needs to rethink the future of inhabitation. Anne Romme will talk about her work on new patterns of inhabitation, and how it has led to both imaginary and concrete proposals: Architecture for a flooded future, architecture for long overlooked and devalued feminine values - and how a fascination with the sea urchin shells has led to aerodynamic and floating houses, thin as eggshells and based on geometries that mimic nature.
