BioArchitecture harnesses and replicates the principles found in nature in order to create built environments which benefit people and other living things. Although many people are aware of the aesthetic beauty of buildings which are influenced by natural forms and built with natural materials, the full effect of designing in accordance with nature is not widely understood. The central canon of BioArchitecture is that all life responds well to design that is energetically harmonious with nature.

In studying the environment necessary to support life, it may be possible to redefine the function of architecture as a discipline which enables people to build spaces which have a physically positive effect on living things. There is evidence of this craft being rediscovered time and again throughout recorded history, and awareness of the deeply fascinating connections between the animate and the inanimate is once again demanding our attention.

The BioArchitecture Foundation was created to allow the quick dissemination of information in this field as it unravels. We encourage you to not only study the information we offer, but also to participate in the forum, competitions, and to contact us with material from your own research which we may post on this site. Please come back to check this site for new reports, news and upcoming events.
