Learning from plant signalling : Adaptive architecture and bionic design
Résumé
We propose to cross three disciplines, architecture, live sciences, and information
sciences. Assuming that nature is a source of inspiration for architecture, we suppose that live
strategies could be a model of adaptive architecture. Looking at the processes and strategies
that plants have developed to adapt to their changing environment, we try to define the
various components of adaptive architecture. We want to draw some parallels between plant,
systems for information processing and how adaptive architecture is working. Our
problematic is composed by two main questions: The first question is: What is adaptive
architecture? The second question is: How plant signalling could be a model? The goal is to
design a more efficient architecture in the context of environment and uses changing.
