I always ask myself billions of
Questions
my friends can testify air
how do we go from a glitch to
an Apple tree
for example how does a chameleon
to hide
because we all know that it can
change color but how what
mechanism
how do they adapt and then
the ted lectures so why do we
is still on this round and red carpet
you’re never asked it’s normal to
ask yourself so many questions because
curiosity is a trait of character
natural acquired since our youngest
age of all time and all
epochs
it is defined as the desire to
know the desire to know a reality
which is still unknown to us but that
we sense then carried by thirst
to understand the world we homo sapiens
have become explorers of
explorers of this reality that we
do not know yet then to
the era of great explorers such
that christophe colomb magellan he
was to map the planet
discover new territories or
still new riches but at
Age of Enlightenment
the relationship to exploration the journey
exchange
it’s about understanding others
species on the planet so big
names such as charles darwin aboard
their ships will travel the globe
to understand the other species they
will then analyzed observed describe
cartoon classify the living using
of these beautiful naturalistic boards
the man is fascinated then for the others
species he wants to understand their
functioning their diversity and their
distribution on the globe
for example they will explore earth air
sea
today in the era of the great
climatic upheavals climb of
waters
drought loss of biodiversity
pollution the relation to exploration
takes another turn
humbly we come to question the
living it what they can we
learn for our own survival
how are we going to live in harmony
on this planet with others
species while using or rather in
using responsibly
resources of our beautiful planet
how are we going to live all
together while preserving the water the air
the only one this approach is called the
bio biomimicry life
mimicry imitate unlimited life is
a creative approach that involves
to take inspiration from the functioning of the living
will understand these principles for
to meet our major social issues
whether it’s societal issues and
environmental or economic
so unsurprisingly during my studies
of engineer architect I continued to
ask me a lot of questions and
especially how as a future
practitioner I was going to answer these
major social issues
in 2009 I discovered biomimicry and
for me it was a global answer
an obvious answer to answer a
very complex problem and in 2015
I’m flying for a year tour of the
world to meet these architects
these biologists these researchers who
is inspired by bindweed to design
cities and sustainable buildings
so this trip led me to live in
Zimbabwe studies at the University of Kyoto
in Japan or the mighty in Boston
and at university victoria in new
zealand
it was my first step in
the exploration of the living and I deliver you
here an excerpt from my travel diary
here is
two insulators so both have the
isolate function has for example a
mineral wool and a plumage so all
two idols catching a layer of air
via a material then the materials that
we make water that it is
rock wool glass wool
polystyrene finally in any case the
insulators often it’s materials that
are based on components not
necessarily abundant on earth not
easily recyclable or while they
will ask for a large amount
of energy to be recyclable and
difficult to implement in the
methodologies in the living this plumage
it will be 100% recyclable based on
abundant compounds in the living and then
especially going to be a source of inspiration
for a lot more than that because those
worse unlike we isolate
which are fixed the same all year long
this bonus this looting has the ability to
adapt to the scale of the day or to
the scale of the seasons do you
have already seen robins sparrow throats
in winter precisely go this conflict for
increase the insulation capacity in
trapping a bigger layer
of air and therefore vary the insulation to
the scale of the day at the scale of
seasons today in the world that this
either in England
om haiti or paris
researchers are mobilizing to study
the envelopes of the living and so
improve building envelopes
the goal is to have envelopes
which will allow better management
Energy
I strongly say the buildings that
like plumages worth is swelling and getting
deflates and for better management
energy in the building then the
here are two ventilation systems so
we produced by the human system
classic electric ventilation
and then the other is a termite view
from above then both
perform the function of ventilating but
with properties and aesthetics
a little different termite-based mound
duct chimney 2 underground channels
will allow ventilation any
the year whatever the
climatic variations
even at the top of the chimney you have
an adaptation of the next chimney
prevailing winds for better
ventilation in this heiress and
the story does not stop there it’s
better better than that because
termites by their activities are going
enrich the only carbon store at
place to issue and we can list
still a lot of properties like that
interesting for our cities and for our
buildings
so here is a building in zimbabwe in
harare
inspired by the ventilation system of this
intermediate so is this building
is based like the termite mound on a
passive ventilation system and so
after calculation we realize that he has
allowed an energy saving of 35% per
compared to ventilation systems
classic in Zimbabwe so that’s when
therefore consistent and during this round of
world
I was very moved to visit this building
because when you are looking for
biomimicry in architecture you fall
very quickly on the iss building this
building at Harare and especially I had the
chance to learn from
the architect milk stone which
today at age 80 continues to
to take inspiration from the functioning of the living
and get excited about ecosystems and
what they can teach us for
design cities and buildings
sustainable and speaking of ecosystems
precisely here is a forest ecosystem
is a city we have a lot too
to learn from the functioning of
ecosystems
because they have the ability to
clean up the air the only ones to store from
carbon they can also regulate their
temperature and that we would have
need especially in those times where
we suffer from the heat island in
was then strongly cities
inspired by the functioning of
ecosystems and this approach mobilizes
precisely researchers all over the
world be it in new zealand
in the United States or in Europe where
a new generation of buildings is
about to
hergé this is called
so-called regenerative buildings inspired by
ecosystems that instead of having a
negative or neutral imprint are going to have
a positive impression
so soon we can dream of city or
of buildings that by their operation
will enrich the soil and create a
healthier farming are coming
store carbon and allow us to
breathe better and promote
biodiversity in cities then in
France there are nearly 200
research laboratories on the subject
biomimicry in all domains
whether the material architecture
for example and when I came back from
this world tour trip
I really wanted to contribute to
the emergence of this approach because
we need method tools and
especially of a common language between
different trades for example
you take an architect and a
biologist
so it can be a biologist
insect specialist for example low
to make them communicate at the beginning
it’s not obvious at all we have
really need a common language
between these two disciplines is therefore of
create bridges between architecture and
biological for example it’s in this
optical I joined the team of the cbi
rise in Paris and the history museum
natural thesis for precisely
work on these topics then I
have shown you species a little
extraordinary
so we saw the termite mounds we saw a
Chameleon the living is almost 9
millions of species estimated today on
has described that 20% then so many
beautiful stories to write together
so many beautiful innovations and the
vision is also very close to us
in our daily lives
so very close to our skin
vegetables be it our birds
cities or I do not know a snail
who hang out in a badly washed salad on
alive is really very close to us
so I invite you to raise your head
open your eyes out of your shell
to watch the live so to you rents
to your binoculars
be curious by nature thank you
