Everyone seems to love vegetated buildings like 'Bosco Verticale' in Milan (pictured). So, why isn't this a standard building approach for new buildings? Why are there still so few of them?
In this episode I go under the surface and explain three reasons why vertical forest buildings are not commonplace – and why that might not be a bad thing.

Biomimicry has the potential to transform the way we design buildings, public spaces and local economies to reduce environmental harm and improve our health. 
Architect and author Michael Pawlyn joins me to discuss the newly released third edition of his book 'Biomimicry in Architecture'. We discuss what biomimicry actually means and lots of examples of how it can be applied in the built environment.
