"We are figuring out how to create master plans, building layouts, and building forms that increase biodiversity and resilience and ecological thriving," said Oxman. "And we have devised a new approach for this called ecological programming."
The techniques employed in the Eden Tower are geared towards utilizing computation to design building forms that respect the ecosystems around them, making a significant contribution to urban vitality and climate resilience. Oxman emphasizes that this approach has the potential to transform how buildings are designed, making them not just structures, but part of a larger ecological network.
Utilizing AI technology, the Eden Tower's design integrates various environmental factors—like wind, sunlight, and contamination—to foster biodiversity. This innovative use of technology in architecture signifies a paradigm shift towards conscious design solutions that prioritize ecological balance and urban health.
The Eden Tower will showcase a harmonious blend of open-air and enclosed spaces, reflecting diverse landscapes and topographies, and aiming to enhance urban living while combating environmental challenges. Oxman’s commitment to collecting biological data in their lab will form the backbone of their ecological programming efforts, ensuring designs are informed by real environmental interactions.
