 PHILOSOPHY OF VINCENT CALLEBAUT

 Invented the new transdisciplinary Archibiotect (2008)

 Archibiotect
ARCHItecture + BIOtechnologies + TEChnologies of Information
Communication.

 Primary reason ;to protect man against nature, the contemporary city strives
to reconcile human beings and their natural ecosystems.

 Uses Bio-mimicry, bio-morphism, bionics as his main concepts and

inspirations for design. - Vincent Callebaut

 Believes in sustainable design and self sustaining concepts (wind turbine,

thermal and photovoltaic solar energy).

 His vision is to create an energy saving, carbon absorbing civilization to fight

global warming.
90
 CONCEPT
ECOLOGIC PHILOSOPHY -
 To create eco-designed by reducing carbon footprint of its inhabitants.

 Used Fan’s Li philosophy “think world as one community”.

 Four main ecological objectives are;

1) Reduction of the climatic global warming.
2) Protection of nature and biodiversity.
3) Protection of the environment and the quality of life.
4) Management of natural resources and waste.

 Used Cradle to Cradle philosophy “nothing is lost, everything transforms itself”.

Hence, the symbiosis of human actions and their positive impact on the nature.

MORPHOLOGIC PHILOSOPHY -
 Inspired from double helix of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) which represent
source of life and dynamism.
 Double helix represent by two housing units.
Hence, environmental features as well as technological components aid to reduce
energy consumption.
DNA 91
 DEVELOPMENT

Exoskeleton Outrigger truss Cantilever system Agora garden

 Central core designed to separate two housing units in each level.

 Twisted in 90 degree from base to top with each level turning 4.5 degrees.
 Unique form provides solution ;
1) Orientation change morphology
- east/west elevation= rhomboidal pyramid Tao zhu yin yuan
- north/south elevation= reverse pyramid
2) To generate cascades for open air garden
3) To provide panoramic views
4) To generate flexible standardized level to ensure privacy by avoiding direct visual axes.
