GG-loop Launches MITOSIS Biophilic Regenerative Ecosystem<\/h3>\r\n

O<\/span>n November 10, 2020, Amsterdam architecture practice GG-loop<\/a>, sharing the vision with Arup<\/a>, has\u00a0launched a biophilic regenerative architecture for large-scale urban developments.\u00a0Mitosis: a modular building system created by a parametric design tool following biophilic and user-centric design principles, serves as a new solution to reduce the negative impacts of buildings while the need for healthy homes has hardly ever been more apparent than during the current global condition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

MITOSIS XL - overview<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Mitosis is the follow-up of a multi-awarded pilot project completed by GG-loop in 2019: Freebooter, a pair of prefabricated CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) apartments in Amsterdam, wrapped in a parametric timber louvered facade.\u00a0The building was created using biophilic principles, connecting architecture with nature in order to improve the life quality of the people who use the building.\u00a0\u00a0GG-loop\u2019s ambition to bring these qualities to multiple scales has resulted in Mitosis.\u00a0The name Mitosis refers to the biological process of a single cell dividing itself into two identical daughter cells. It represents the modularity and the long-term adaptation of the system and serves as a metaphor for a flexible co-living organism where each residential unit coexist in symbiosis with all the others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Positive footprint ecosystems<\/h4>\r\n

Mitosis creates regenerative ecosystems which balances the technical benefits of an environmentally conscious construction with the qualities of an organic and healthy environment in which its residents coexist harmoniously.\u00a0Mitosis generates urban clusters using prefabricated timber and bio-based modules that are cost-efficient and flexible in its construction. By consciously choosing materials that capture carbon and using resources more efficiently, Mitosis constructs a net-positive built environment that produces more energy than it consumes and uses resources in a circular way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Social cohesion<\/h4>\r\n

The distinct rhomboid shape of the individual design modules is integral to the functionality of Mitosis. Stacking these modules creates large areas for shared outdoor living, with each unit having at least one terrace.\u00a0Mitosis\u2019 vertical connections are placed externally to connect the units and terraces, creating a continuous ribbon of outdoor \u2018cloister-like\u2019 spaces, fostering a sense of openness, belonging, protection, and privacy for residents.\u00a0Mitosis\u2019 construction is organic and flexible, providing large areas of urban and vertical farming, greenhouses, wildlife corridors, and integration of habitat creation, that encourage shared outdoor activities among residents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Project development<\/h4>\r\n

Mitosis is developed by parametric and BIM 3D modeling software. It generates dwelling clusters composed of prefabricated CLT modules through a complex iterative process.\u00a0The volumes and internal layouts derive from the calculation and simulation of parameters related to specific conditions of the site: solar radiation, wind impact, privacy, population density, common spaces index, and vertical connections. With the parametric design tool, Mitosis explores how buildings can grow, evolve, heal and self-sustain, similar to human bodies, as well as use biological metaphors to design buildings capable of regeneration, resilience, and self-sufficiency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
