Bio_logic Design Group | Cmu

the bio_logic research group works across disciplines to develop both high and low tech building technologies. we partner with architecture and engineering firms during the rfq and rfp phases to add creative insight and value to the project team. most recently we have collaborated with: nbbj (googleplex) architectonica (climate ribbon) bohlin cywinski jackson (frick park environmental center). to better understand the porous boundaries between living and non-living systems we look to nature as a model network of interactive systems that produce no waste; observe that animals and plants have evolved a large variety of reliable and relatively simple mechanisms to adapt to environmental fluctuation; understand that the inherent complexity of biological mechanisms is an emergent property based on simple rule sets. specifically we develop responsive building technologies that operate in accordance with the biologic condition of homeostasis –– the ability for an organism to maintain equilibr
