More about the book

The book presents a transformative approach to architecture in the face of environmental challenges, advocating for the use of 'vibrant matter'—materials that mimic living systems. It explores how these innovative substances, like dynamic droplets and synthetic soils, can imbue buildings with properties such as movement and self-repair. By fostering collaboration between human and nonhuman elements, this architectural practice aims to create ecological platforms that enhance the liveliness of our planet, promoting sustainable development and a deeper connection to nature.
