Botanically Inspired Biodesign
Architect Ferdinand Ludwig has created a form of botany and construction, Baubotanik, or Living Plant Construction. Baubotanik is inspired by the ancient art of tree shaping. “I came in touch with some historic examples of living architecture while I was studying at the University of Stuttgart and was fascinated from the first moment on,” Ludwig explained. “The vision is a new way of integrating trees in architectural and urban design.”
