Michael Pawlyn Talks - Exploration Architecture

Using Nature's Genius in Architecture

How can architects build a new world of sustainable beauty? By learning from nature. At TEDSalon in London, Michael Pawlyn describes three habits of nature that could transform architecture and society: radical resource efficiency, closed loops, and drawing energy from the sun.

'One of the gifts of biomimicry for a speaker is that it provides an almost inexhaustible supply of engaging stories.'
