Façade Design for Microbial Biodiversity

微生物多样性的外立面设计
Façade Microbiome Design

The human microbiome is closely tied to the environment, and reduced microbial exposure can harm health. Architecture should shift from focusing solely on cleanliness to promoting microbial diversity. A study in Suzhou, China, emphasized the role of microbial-friendly building facades in enhancing health and urban sustainability. This shift is crucial for future high-rise designs, advocating for a broader focus beyond energy efficiency to improve public health.

建筑微生物外立面设计

研究表明,减少微生物接触会损害健康,因此建筑设计应从单纯清洁转向促进微生物多样性。一项在苏州的研究探讨了这一理念在建筑立面上的应用,结果表明,设计应注重微生物友好性,以促进健康和城市可持续发展,尤其在未来高层建筑设计中,需超越仅追求能源效率的局限。
