Arquitectura que se auto-repara? TED Talk

La forma de construir actual se basa en gran medida en metodos victorianos que resultan en una transferencia unidireccional de energia desde la naturaleza hacia nuestros hogares y ciudades. Esto no puede ser sustentable.

El presente video, muestra una idea aun en su etapa conceptual, sobre formas distintas en que podria organizarse esta transferencia de energia que conectara a las ciudades con la naturaleza en vez de aislarla de ella. Rachel Armstrong, medico, se encuentra actualmente trabajando en tecnologias de materiales metabolicos, buscando las caraceristicas que puedan convertirlos en auto-reparables.

The present form of construction is largely based on victorian methods, that result in a uni-directional transfer of energy from nature into our cities and homes. This is not sustainable.
The video presented here is an idea, still in its conceptual phase (with some laboratory research under way), on ways this energy transfer could connect the cities to the enviroment, instead of isolating them from it. Rachel Armstrong, Medical Doctor, is at present working on technologies relating to metabolic materials, that would render them auto-repairable, for instance.
