Urban greening is an effective strategy to pacify the effects of climate change. It results in reduced cooling costs and carbon sequestration from the atmosphere and can be applied to diverse climate situations. However, urban spaces are expensive, and many greening strategies like green walls are resource intensive. Hence, there is a need to develop sustainable, less resource and energy-intensive solutions for urban greening in the face of climate catastrophe. Bio-receptivity is an emerging sustainable concept which can serve as an alternative to current resource-intensive urban greening strategies.

This project emerged from the idea of incorporating nature into the architecture of contemporary building structures to tackle the impending climate catastrophe. In the contemporary context, architectural façade systems exhibit the presence of well-defined limits in how they interact and negotiate with the natural environment. They act as a shield from the external environment. This is in stark contrast to nature, where there are no boundaries but only intricate relationships and interactions between organisms and their ecosystems.
