Geonomy and the Articulation of the Built Environment with the Biosphere: How to Achieve Ecological Balance of Life in Our Cities

Abstract

The built environment is a component of urban and architectural laws. In a context of protection of our living environment, other urban laws must complement the regulation of urban design. Where, building materials must provide interactions with the living world at the square micrometer! What are the new scientific approaches that Bio-Urban technology offers? In order to allow a built environment a complicity by complexity of the cohabitation of the living and the articulation of micro-organisms in the urban design, according to new urban laws in application of the theory of urban relativity for the installation of new urban components in an ecological built environment and conducive to a close urban component that is integrated in symbiosis with nature. Will this built environment merge with nature? Will nature be receptive and expectant to this built environment? Are there examples from around the world? How can an urban component be diluted with nature and become an essential ecological living environment? Is biomimicry one of the solutions and how? How should the articulation between urbanism and biology in a built environment be?
