Bio-architecture

Building with the living — structure and landscape as one.
Abstract

Bio-architecture gathers a body of work built with living and natural materials — branches, plant fibres, reclaimed wood, earth — where structure and landscape become one.

The pieces are grown and assembled on site; they are colonised by their environment, left to age, and eventually return to it. Between land art and architecture, they reflect on shelter, fragility and the home as a temporary, permeable form within nature — a way of building that does not impose on the landscape but grows from it.

Bio-architecture — Coffin Habitat
Spain · natural wood · hi-res + more photos pending

A coffin-shaped habitat built directly within the forest from felled branches and natural wood — a shelter that emerges from, and dissolves back into, its surroundings; a home and a grave at once.
