Rachel Armstrong re-imagines the world’s
cities and argues that in order to achieve sustainable development of
the built environment we need to rethink how we approach architecture. "Living architecture is not a panacea to urban
problems, but propose an alternative approach to making buildings that
may help alleviate these problem. Our cities, as they currently exist,
as seen as inert barriers to the natural world. The ideas may seem outlandish but they are based on real
technology that exists today. All applications of scientific research in
the laboratory remain speculative until they are transformed into
products. But we are heading that way."
