The project aims to be a cutting edge facility dedicated to biomedical engineering and bionics research. The building will focus on user well-being, flexible laboratory spaces, collaborative work areas and dynamic, adaptive spaces that encourage interdisciplinary research for the development of life changing biomedical technologies. The design will integrate advanced principles of biomimicry, sustainability and computational design. The principles will draw from nature’s most efficient solutions to generate forms, energy systems and optimal resource use and materiality, taking inspiration from bone. This project hopes that the exposure to biomimetic and sustainable practices will increase public support for green technologies. Ultimately the project will create an environment that fosters innovation in the field of medical technology and the built environment while respecting the natural world.
