Sustainability is pretty much mainstream in Europe today. Sustainability is not particular sexy is it, so what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

Sustainable innovation inspired by nature<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the idea: nature is extremely creative and evolved many solutions to solve different challenges. And it does it in a very elegant way!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still got the toughest ceramics out there (that would be abalone shell), it can make glues in wet environment (think mussels on rocks), it\u2019s doing all of its chemistry at room temperature with local chemicals that are not harmful to their environment. It’s an awesome architect: termite mounds have constant temperature inside no matter what the outside temperature is (natural A\/C). Nature does not produce waste, all of it is nutrients for some other organism. You get the clue, nature has plenty we can learn from and get inspired! Biomimicry Norway<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Using nature\u2019s genius in architecture<\/h4>\n

Architect Michael Pawlyn finds inspiration from nature in his designs by increasing resource efficiency, in linear to closed loop and from fossil fuels to solar-based economy.<\/p>\n

Interdiciplinary co-operation is essential<\/h2>\n

Biologists are part of Pawlyn\u2019s architecture design team from early stage, even though architects might feel humiliated of this approach because of their belief in ownership to excellence in design.<\/p>\n

Interdisciplinary co-operation is essential in several successful architect offices today increasing the understanding of needs from several angels. Read about Sn\u00f8hetta and neuroscience in architecture<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t panic<\/h2>\n

Humans are clever, but without intending to, we have created massive sustainability problems for future generations. There is no planet B and human population is exploding.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t panic, Hans Rosling says. He was the inspiring statistic and illustrator of how to solve the exploding human population growth. He illustrated how rich people have to be in front of developing solutions for life on our extrodinary planet.<\/p>\n
