“Artificial Nature Architecture”

The book’s aim is to analyze some of the most innovative projects of sustainable architecture that Luis De Garrido has made over the past two years (2009-2011), materializing their own concept of “Artificial Nature”

Luis de Garrido has matured in recent years a new innovative concept in architecture, calling it as “Artificial Nature Architecture”: an artificial ecological system that has its own rules, and develops in parallel with the natural ecological system. Immersed in this artificial ecosystem, Luis De Garrido has signed a new architecture paradigm able to use a set of industrial architectural elements, ideal for creating buildings that have an infinite life cycle, and whose components can be recovered, repaired and reused in a continuous and permanent way, without producing waste and emissions. Similarly, these buildings can continuously grow, move, relocate and biodegrade, like living organisms. They have a really very low energy consumption, and the energy consumed has a naturally occurring (solar and geothermal, which is the same energy used by Nature organisms).

 

Without doubt, “Artificial Nature Architecture” is a book that will inspire future generations to understand the complexities of sustainable architectural design process, and accept the challenge of making a truly integrated architecture in Nature.
