👀 An inspiring read for you : we have just featured Alive Labs in a monograph here at the Journal of Biophilic Design , ahead of their and our appearance at this week's Futurebuild event.
Not just as a case study, but as part of a wider conversation about where design is heading, inside and outside buildings.
Inside:
• Passive acoustic softening 🔈
• Biophilic stress reduction 😌
• Air quality support 💨
• Spatial warmth in hard interiors ✅
Outside:
• Scalable living façade systems 🕋
• Biodiversity-supporting surfaces 🦋
• Reduced embodied carbon potential 🌲
• Alternative to conventional cladding systems 🏢
The piece also traces the origin of the idea from Terra Preta, the ancient Amazonian soil systems that demonstrated how human design and ecology can reinforce each other rather than compete.
Moss isn’t just a decorative finish. It’s a living material system, one that behaves differently depending on context, scale, and substrate.
The monograph captures that evolution beautifully in words and pictures. If you're interested in biophilic design and architecture, it's a delight to flick through. (Link to the full piece in comments)
