Architecture Connecting: Living Structures is the first publication accompanying Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's new exhibition series, placing three studios — ecoLogicStudio, Atelier LUMA, and Jenny Sabin Studio — at the centre of a critical conversation about biology, biochemistry, and the future of sustainable architecture.
About This Book
Where much discourse on sustainable architecture remains abstract, this catalogue grounds the argument in three distinct and active practices. ecoLogicStudio investigates how photosynthesis can be embedded into built form; Atelier LUMA builds from the bioregional resources of the Camargue; Jenny Sabin Studio draws on biology and mathematics to develop structures that respond to human and natural systems. Together, they chart a credible trajectory for biodigital architecture and climate-conscious design. The book's conversational format — each studio in dialogue with a leading architectural thinker — gives the material an intellectual rigour that catalogue publications rarely achieve. Essential reading for practitioners and researchers tracking where architecture and the life sciences intersect.
