Description
Guest editors Negin Imani, Brenda Vale, and Derek Clements-Croome open a 2025 special issue on buildings that borrow ideas from living things. They argue that the outer skin of a building is moving toward change and self-control, much like the skin of a plant or animal. In their view, treating buildings as living systems, not fixed blocks, is a key path for facing climate change. The short editorial sets up the issue's theme: walls and roofs that sense, adjust, and respond to their setting.
