Biotopia imagines cities becoming forests, architecture growing like trees, and streets illuminated by bioluminescent lighting, alive with biodiversity. It envisions a world designed not just with nature, but as nature.
At the heart of Biotopia is a global sponge: a dynamic bio-matter architecture that cools, filters water, generates energy, and shelters life while adapting like a living organism.
The film traces the evolution of biomaterials, imagining a future where bio-matter transforms human settlements into vibrant, self-sustaining systems. The model, a prototype segment of a future architecture, illustrates the first steps toward a habitat that grows rather than being constructed.
