About Program:

This 3-day international workshop explores how biodesign can transform green architecture through living facades and climate-adaptive materials. Combining theory, case studies, and AI-based hands-on sessions (Google Colab/Jupyter), participants will learn to design and simulate climate-responsive building systems, integrating insights from architecture, biology, and technology for sustainable, resilient urban environments.

Aim: To introduce participants to biodesign principles in green architecture and enable them to conceptualize and simulate living facades and climate-adaptive materials using AI tools for climate-resilient, sustainable building design.

Program Objectives:

  • Introduce biodesign principles for green, climate-resilient architecture.

  • Explore living facades, green roofs, and climate-adaptive materials for sustainable buildings.

  • Train participants to use AI tools (Google Colab/Jupyter) for climate-responsive design simulations.

  • Discuss case studies, challenges, and opportunities in implementing and scaling biodesign.

  • Encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across architecture, biology, materials science, and AI.
