Off Into the Woods They Go!

The increased population, depletion of natural resources, and destruction of natural environment had jeopardized the balance of the entire planet. In 2050, the city of London had expanded into its maximum density capacity. Lands are becoming scarce and precious, humanity are desperate to find a new ground and new resources to survive. Personal Carbon Allowances (PCAs) had become the dominant currency.

2050 will be the era of biological manufacturing. This is the world where materials are no longer made, but grown. Everything from homes, food, and textile will be biologically designed and grown to accommodate the human population.

It was prior to this era when humanity started to speculate a whole new agenda of "Forest Living". The threshold between architecture and biology was explored, bringing in a new conversation of Re-generative architecture as a means of future living.
