What Is Biophilic Design? And How To Use It

We value being connected to nature in our homes, we are happy to pay more for homes that have a view, are next to the water or a park. But even without the view or waterfront, homes can be designed to connect us with nature in simple and subtle ways thorough biophilic design. Especially if we pay attention to how we, as humans, have interacted with nature over the thousands of years.

Walters Way Research — Johnnie Llewellyn

Built in the early 1980’s, the unique, timber framed buildings form one of the UK’s earliest examples of self build social housing. Walters Way is the result of a forward thinking local authority and Walter Segal, the visionary architect who based his designs on a few key principles known as the ‘Segal Method’. These principles allow for the houses to be built with a very limited understanding of construction, allowing residents to build and customise their own homes. Japanese Wood Joint by Kenji0915.

Morphological Timeline of the Dymaxion Dwelling Machine 4D Dymaxion House (1927–1931) Buckminster Fuller’s first versions of the Dymaxion House were five-person family homes, with hexagonal floor plans and a central supporting mast.

Dymaxion Developments

The mast was anchored to the ground by its base and offered the option of having an elevator installed within its frame. Although the living quarters of these homes only occupied one floor, they were raised off the ground by one story. In his first take on the house, the ground level constituted of a deck with an observation, garden, and recreation area, but by the time of the 1930 Dymaxion House it had evolved into a more basic trim yard. Forget Geodesic Domes, Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House Was His Masterpiece.

In 1920, architect, inventor, and theorist Buckminster Fuller set his sights on designing a sustainable and inexpensive dwelling.

Determined to eschew middle-class waste, Fuller incorporated a number of inventive (though not altogether practical) features into his pods, including a compost-based methane heating system, a wind power generator, and a recirculating greywater plumbing system. To keep the expense of the project down, Fuller went modular. The 1v Dome Calculator. Building your own dome (or tensegrity) Design and construct your own furniture with 3D printed joints.

Japanese Wood Joint by Kenji0915. Competition: five Arckit 180 modelling sets to be won. Dezeen has teamed up with Arckit to give away five modelling kits from its new series. Arckit was hailed as "posh Lego" when it was first launched by architect Damien Murtagh over two years ago, as it is made up modular components that connect without glue. It aimed to provide architects with an alternative to the traditional cut and glue architectural working models, but the collection has since expanded to include kits suitable for a wider audience. "Arckit has been a success not just in the architecture sector but also within education," said Murtagh. Designs. Ibuku Bamboo Architecture and Design. Untitled. CFPR : Bureau Service.

Contour Crafting - CC. Custom Build. In Laying the Foundations – a Housing Strategy for England, the Government announced that it would be making up to £30m of funding available to provide short-term project finance to help unlock group custom build – or self-build - schemes. This is separate from the funding available for community led housing under the Affordable Homes Programme. The aims of the Custom Build fund are two-fold: To stimulate the growth of the Custom Build Homes market by enabling more multi-unit custom build home projects and attract more commercial lenders and investors to this market, thereby increasing the number of custom built homes developed annually over the next decade.

We have published a prospectus setting out details of how interested bidders may apply. Projects should be outside London. As outlined in our Land Development and Disposal Plan, to help groups of prospective bidders access a supply of land for Custom Build schemes, a number of sites have already been brought to the market:

Synopsis : If You Build It. Yurt. Smooth-Cast® 325 Colormatch® Product Information. Screenings : If You Build It. Studio H « Project H. A "design/build" public school curriculum that sparks community development through real-world, built projects Studio H is an in-school design/build class for 8th-11th grade students. First launched in Bertie County, NC and now based at Realm Charter School in Berkeley, CA, Studio H students apply their core subject learning to design and build audacious and socially transformative projects.

Students of Studio H have previously dreamed up, designed, and constructed a 2000-square-foot farmers market pavilion, a pop-up park, laser-etched skateboards, sculptural concrete public furniture, roadside farmstands, and more. Through experimentation, non-stop production, tinkering, and a lot of dirt under their fingernails, students develop the creative capital, critical thinking, and citizenship necessary for their own success and for the future of their communities.
