Bio-Inspired Resilience Design Model
University/SchoolUniversity of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus
Lead ArchitectVirgen M. Berrios Torres
The research, Bio-inspired resilience to the energy crisis through Regenerative Architecture, raises from the physical aspect the idea of creating a resilient bio-inspired space. It proposes a Community Research and Environmental Education Center with a Garden-School to the Puerto Rican community of Levittown in Toa Baja. The fundamental goal and intention of this design is to promote support, preparation, and environmental awareness in the face of the effects of the energy crisis and climate change. In order to achieve this, regenerative design is used as a primary tool.
