Designing for the Human Biome

The Biome Design approach to building and development takes into account all of the natural forces and systems acting on the site, regionally available resources and technologies, along with indigenous wisdom and geometry and then integrates it all into the design criteria so as to create a healthy and harmonious blending with the natural environment.  Biome Design regards a building or built environment as a living entity unto itself, a congruous part of its local ecology, interactive with its particular climate, which can provide for all of its current necessities and future growth needs.
