Quand l’architecture s’inspire de la nature

This conference explores how nature can inspire sustainable architecture. Architect Thibaut Houette, a doctor in biomimicry and biotechnology, will discuss innovations like tree-root-inspired foundations, mushroom-based mycomaterials, and weather-sensitive facades mimicking pinecone scales.

Part of the "L'Automne de la science dans les bibliothèques" series, the event examines how bio-inspired design can address environmental challenges, particularly water management. Attendees will learn about multifunctionality, adaptation, and scale-nesting principles that integrate buildings with their ecosystems.

The talk offers a glimpse into the future of urban design, showing how living organisms can provide both aesthetic and technical solutions for resilient, regenerative habitats.
