Mitchell Joachim: Non costruirti la casa, falla crescere!

Advances in ecological design point toward homes that are literally grown from living materials, like trees and even lab-cultured meat. Using ancient techniques like pleaching, combined with modern technology such as CNC scaffolding and tissue engineering, entire villages could one day be cultivated instead of constructed. A single green home can remove carbon from the atmosphere and integrate seamlessly with the landscape. The vision stretches from plant-based habitats to experimental meat structures, challenging what architecture can be.
