Featured Design Competition

Califia Sketchbook Design Competition

If a truly biophilic society created a city—what would this city look like? Would nature and our urban environment be one and every roof be green? Would buildings be built like trees and information flow through this living fabric without resistance? If our infrastructure were deeply biomimetic, how would we get our water, our energy, our food, our heat? Can built environments create habitat for lifeforms who need it? Can buildings be net positives to the grid, cities be organic food exporters, and architecture become not just carbon neutral but carbon negative? What would it feel like to live in this green city of tomorrow? What would most capture its
slices of life? What are the true limits of how green our cities can be?

Where imagination meets reality and the bright green future rises up to meet us—you are invited to stitch your visions for the vibrant urban habitats of tomorrow into the fabric of our cities today.

Submit your sketches from Sept. 1, 2007 - Dec. 1, 2007
