Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

333
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Urban Planning
  • Architecture

Background:

  • The built environment faces challenges from climate change, resource scarcity, and population growth, necessitating integration with social and ecological systems.
  • Current design and construction practices can degrade living systems and lack resilience to environmental disturbances.
  • Biomimetic place-based design (BPD) offers a framework to learn from local ecosystems for more sustainable and resilient built environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of biomimetic place-based design (BPD) for achieving resilient and regenerative outcomes in the built environment.
  • To identify barriers hindering the widespread adoption of BPD.
  • To propose an action framework for capability-building to enable scaled BPD implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on biomimicry and place-based design principles.
  • Analysis of challenges and opportunities for applying BPD at scale (city/region).
  • Synthesis of findings from workshops conducted in the USA and Australia.

Main Results:

  • Upfront resourcing for BPD knowledge bases is a significant hurdle.
  • Conducting BPD at city or regional scales can enhance its value proposition by leveraging research and strategies.
  • An action framework for capability-building across industry, government, and academia has been developed.

Conclusions:

  • Biomimetic place-based design (BPD) holds significant potential for creating resilient and regenerative built environments.
  • Scaling BPD through collaborative efforts can overcome adoption barriers and improve resource efficiency.
  • The developed framework provides a resource for practitioners and guides future research and development in scaled BPD.
