The Concept of Growing Buildings

The podcast explores the revolutionary idea of constructing buildings that can grow organically, akin to trees using natural resources. This concept hinges on understanding how to assemble buildings while the biological organisms responsible for their creation are still alive, allowing for self-assembly and adaptability. The key takeaway is that leveraging natural processes could transform construction to be more sustainable while also potentially sequestering carbon dioxide. The vision includes buildings with self-healing components and the ability to adapt to environmental changes, making them resilient over time.
