Bio_Corbel explores the potential of biological assemblies composed of unruly materials and dynamic spatial ecologies, for curating an architecture that constantly evolves through growth, decay, and permanence. The project challenges the traditional fixed-time definition of architectural layers by treating buildings as living entities. As parts of the building naturally decay, new components are grown and replaced according to changing requirements.

Using procedural computer models trained on environmental data sets, Bio_Corbel informs the creation of multiple taxonomies of biological corbels, which serve as functional and aesthetical key elements. Through the layering of simple components with diverse material mixes, the project creates intricate geometries and material gradients, enabling control and adaptation of each layer.

This approach supports a continuous transformation of architectural spaces, fostering a dynamic interplay between human activity and environmental forces. Ultimately, Bio_Corbel envisions a future in which architecture is a responsive, evolving system that harmonises with nature, promoting a shift in how we design and understand built environments.
