Eco-Mantra shares insights on regenerative design in Bali

Green roofs cut microplastics in rainfall by 97.5%, according to a new study from Tongji University. Shanghai alone, with 3.56 million square meter of rooftop greenery, could capture more than 56,000 kg of microplastics annually. We believe Africa can adapt innovative, nature-based solutions like this to build cleaner, more sustainable cities. The future of urban design isn’t just about structures, it’s about creating environments that heal the planet. 🌍✨ #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #Innovation #Atunlo

By revisiting traditional practices, #Architecture can help create a more sustainable future. For centuries, communities relied on bioregional design — using locally available, #Sustainable materials and techniques that worked with the environment, not against it. Today, this approach is making a comeback. Examples from #Mexico, #Canada and #Rwanda show how bioregional design can deliver buildings that are regenerative, inclusive, and resilient. The World Economic Forum’s Davos Baukultur Alliance is championing this approach as a tool for #Architects and planners to design the #CitiesOfTheFuture — ones that balance cultural heritage with modern sustainability needs. #UrbanDevelopment #Resilience #ClimateAction #Innovation

🇸🇬🌿 Discover “PEBBLES,” the latest eco-responsible eco-district from Vincent Callebaut Architectures, Paris in Singapore ! This biomimetic project sets a new standard for urban living: each building functions as a self-sufficient ecosystem, harvesting solar and wind energy while integrating bio & geo-based materials to minimize environmental impact. Bordering the lagoon and enveloped in lush hanging gardens, “PEBBLES” invites residents to live in harmony with nature—where structural innovation and green technologies redefine comfort for the future. The gentle, pebble-inspired shapes open every home to the landscape, prioritizing natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting, and energy efficiency at every turn. Step into a new era of regenerative architecture: "PEBBLES" is more than a project, it’s a vision for sustainable cities, ready to inspire the world. #vincentcallebaut #pebbles #biomimicry #greenarchitecture #singapore #renewableenergy #ecoliving #architecturalinnovation #biobased #geobasedmaterials #smartcity #greenbuilding #sustainableliving #greentech #urbanjungle #natureinspireddesign #realestate #immobilier #housing #apartment #residential #futureisgreen #biodiversity #ecodistrict #architect #cityoftomorrow #vincentcallebautarchitectures

The New Urban Agenda emphasizes sustainable and inclusive development. By revisiting traditional Kikuyu rammed earth architecture through a modern lens—integrating solar energy, circular economy principles, and low-carbon design—we can address today’s urban challenges with culturally grounded solutions. https://lnkd.in/d4W99NuN #smartcity

✨ From Chile 🇨🇱 to Bali 🇮🇩 : A Journey in Sustainable Architecture 🌿🛖 We're thrilled to share an inspiring conversation between Sarah Widodo, East Consulting's Indonesia Specialist, and Pablo Luna, the visionary architect behind Pablo Luna Studio—now based in #Bali. In this exclusive interview, Pablo opens up about: ✈️ His path from Chile to Indonesia 🌿 How embracing natural materials like bamboo reshaped his design philosophy 🛖 The challenges and rewards of building a studio rooted in organic, context-sensitive architecture At East Consulting, we aim to bridge ideas and businesses between #Asia and #LatinAmerica, and Pablo’s journey is a powerful example of how creativity and sustainability can connect both regions. Curious to dive deeper? Be inspired by his journey, design ethos, and commitment to harmony with nature. #EastConsulting #PabloLuna #BaliArchitecture #SustainableDesign #BambooArchitecture #ChileToIndonesia #CrossCulturalInsights

Bali is showing us what the future of construction could look like. Bamboo. Fast-growing, carbon-sequestering, fully renewable, is becoming a core material for homes, bridges, and entire communities. Less concrete. Less steel. More harmony with nature. Sustainable design doesn’t have to be boring. It can be art. 📌 PS: Found this helpful?

Can we plant bamboo? It is good for the community and helps combat climate change 🔎 Fact check: • Community benefits: Bamboo can provide raw materials, income opportunities, and green spaces for communities. • Climate change: Bamboo grows quickly, absorbs large amounts of CO₂, and helps reduce soil erosion, making it a nature-based solution for climate mitigation and adaptation.

Future prototypes will be adaptive, regenerative and sensory-rich living systems that respond to sun, wind and human presence, while supporting biodiversity and wellness.   Through innovative prototypes and regenerative strategies, they will dynamically respond to environmental and human needs, enhance sensory and therapeutic experiences, and support local ecosystems. By blending adaptive design, biophilic engagement, and ecological integration, these canopies aim to create resilient, restorative, and co-created urban spaces where people and nature thrive together.   Explore how we shape societies that are built to last and designed to care: https://lnkd.in/geuwefi3

SUSTAINABILITY BEFORE SUSTAINABILITY Long before green buildings and zero-waste design became buzzwords, the villages of Pulga and Nakthan in Himachal Pradesh were already living those values. Their timber-and-stone Kath-Kuni homes were earthquake-resistant, climate-responsive, and part of a true circular economy. What modern architects chase today was once an instinct for survival.

STARFISH, Singapore, by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, Paris ✨ Discover the floating ecodistrict by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, inspired by the structure of starfish to reinvent Singapore’s urban landscape. These biomimetic floating structures gracefully rise above the water, creating a new way of living in harmony with nature. 🌿⭐🌊 Equipped with solar canopy roofs and integrated wind farms, they harness renewable energies to be self-sufficient while minimizing environmental impact. Each star-shaped arm hosts lush gardens, true green lungs that regulate the microclimate and promote urban biodiversity. 🌞💨 Floating, these constructions adapt to water movements and level variations, offering resilience to climate change and inviting us to rethink our relationship with habitat. Living on the water becomes a sustainable, poetic, and connected experience. 🌏✨ A visionary project combining biomimicry, energy innovation, and urban ecology for a city fully turned toward the future. Singapore becomes an exemplary model of a regenerative and harmonious city. 🍃🏙️ #VincentCallebaut #BiomimeticArchitecture #FloatingUrbanism #RenewableEnergy #Singapore #SolarCanopy #WindFarm #SustainableArchitecture #SmartCity #NatureAndCity #FloatingHabitat #EcoArchitecture #FutureDesign #GreenCity #Architecture #Realestate #immobilier #VincentCallebautArchitectures
