GG-loop brings biophilic architecture to urban development
ALL IMAGES : GG-LOOP
Amsterdam architecture practice GG-loop , sharing the vision with Arup , is developing Mitosis : a modular building system created by a parametric design tool following biophilic and user-centric design principles .
The need for healthy homes has hardly been more apparent than during the current global condition . Current efforts to reduce the negative impacts of buildings are inadequate . Therefore , the built environment must be designed in a different way .
To bring regenerative collective habitation to all scales of
development , Amsterdam architecture practice GG-loop , sharing the vision with Arup , is developing Mitosis : a modular building system created by a parametric design tool following biophilic and user-centric design principles .
GG-loop ' s goal is to develop an architectural solution that ‘ gives back ’ to the planet and can serve as a benchmark for the real estate and urban development sector . Mitosis ’ vision is to deepen the understanding of its relationship with nature , to raise awareness and sensitise both professionals and the public regarding the importance of biophilic architecture as an answer to the current climate condition .
Sharing the same vision as Arup , GG-loop works to inspire and provide healthy sustainable living communities and net-positive impacts on ecology and society . By working with the natural environments rather than against it , the natural balance and health of the planet can be restored .
