Engineer Living Architecture Ecosystems

Design building systems that are actual living ecosystems, where the structure itself consists of living organisms that provide construction materials, insulation, air purification, and other building functions. This goes beyond green buildings to structures that are literally alive and growing. The building would be an ecosystem that provides shelter while continuing to function as a living biological system. Challenges include structural engineering with living materials, managing ecosystem health within buildings, and integrating human habitation with living architecture.
