30 Jul Biomimicry, Climate Change & Architecture: an interview with Michael Pawlyn. In this series, Megan Schuknecht, the Biomimicry Institute’s. In this talk Michael Pawlyn will describe how biomimicry can be used to design buildings that not only achieve radical increases in resource efficiency but are.

Michael Pawlyn (born 30 September 1967) is a British architect noted^[1] for his work in the field biomimetic architecture and innovation. He was part of the principal team of architects that conceived and designed The Eden Project^[2] and is a regular keynote speaker at events on innovation and environmental sustainability. His best selling RIBA book Biomimicry in Architecture^[3] was published in 2011 and a revised second edition, with a foreword by Ellen MacArthur, was published in 2016. He was one of the three founders of The Sahara Forest Project^[4] - a way of supplying fresh water, food and renewable energy in arid conditions - and remains actively involved as a Founding Partner and Design Manager.

Career[edit]

After graduating in Architecture from The Bartlett, University College London, Pawlyn worked in London and Japan before returning to complete his studies at the University of Bath. He worked briefly as a researcher on television documentaries before joining Haworth Tompkins Architects. In 1997 Michael Pawlyn became part of the Grimshaw Architects' team to work on the Eden Project. This innovative scheme, conceived by Tim Smit, radically transformed a Kaolinite pit into a complex of adjoining Biomes that created sustainable environments for Rainforest and Mediterranean plant species.

In 2007 he established Exploration Architecture to develop work that employs biomimicry^[5] as a guiding principal and brings together three lifelong passions - biology, design and the environment.

The journey continues with tours through the old village of Scoul and offers a chance to take a closer look at the traditional Engadine architecture. This latest railway route in Switzerland was opened in November 1999, taking its passengers through the beautiful Engadine valley near the Austrian and Italian borders, through the scenic Prattigau and then the broad and densely forested Rhine valley. The route of this line is not just a thing of natural beauty but also in part a huge feat of engineering - with the longest metre-gauge tunnel in the world.

At TED Salon London, November 2011, Michael Pawlyn became one of the small number of architects to have a talk posted to TED. His presentation, in which he describes how biomimicry could help transform architecture and society, has been viewed over 1.5 million times.

Exploration Architecture’s work was exhibited in a solo exhibition, at The Architecture Foundation in 2014.^[6]

Selected Projects[edit]

Boat for the Plastiki Expedition:^[7] This project, designed with client David de Rothschild, explored Cradle to Cradle^TM ideas to highlight solutions to plastic pollution in the ocean.

The Sahara Forest Project:^[8] demonstrates how biomimicry can help address a range of challenges by employing three components - saltwater cooled greenhouses, concentrated solar power (CSP) and desert revegetation technologies. Collectively these elements provide fresh water, land regeneration, the sequestering of carbon in soils, the closing the nutrient cycle and provides employment in deprived areas.^[9]

The Biomimetic Office:^[10] A sustainable office building designed with Yaniv Peer of Exploration, Arup Research & Development, Mace Cost Consultants and Professor Julian Vincent^[11]

The Mountain Data Centre: A concept for ultra-low energy data centre based on principles of efficient branching systems in biology referred to as Murray’s Law

Personal[edit]

Michael lives in London with his partner, photographer Kelly Hill,^[12] and their two children.
